West Side Doctor’s Medical License Revoked

CHICAGO — State officials have recently moved to revoke the medical license of a Chicago doctor whose penile enlargement surgeries have dozens of men claiming the surgery left them disfigured.

Based on the repeated horror stories emerging from Dr. Sheldon Burman’s Male Sexual Dysfunction Clinic at 3401 N. Central Ave. — 45 malpractice claims have been filed against Burman — state officials recently moved to revoke his medical license.

It is one of the state’s first revocation requests against a doctor for a “pattern of practice” showing “incapacity or incompetence to practice,” according to revocation records, which add that Burman engaged in a practice to “deceive, defraud or harm the public.”

That action comes after millions of dollars in judgments against Burman and his clinic, and as the American Urological Association labeled the penis-enlargement procedure he promotes as unsafe.

“[Burman] has got a track record of a lot of horrendous acts,” said attorney Robert Strelecky, whose Clifford Law Offices recently won a $454,000 verdict against Burman on behalf of a 57-year-old Chicago man whose small intestine was punctured while fat was drained from his abdomen so it could be injected into his penis, enlarging it.

Burman said he stands by every one of the thousands of procedures he estimates he’s done since 1981.

Burman, 80, was once a well-respected heart surgeon until a 1981 car accident limited his mobility and he began operating on penises.

He said he is self-taught in the procedure and has no formal background in urology or plastic surgery.

And when leading medical groups and urologists bashed his practice as harmful, he and a handful of other doctors created their own group — the American Academy of Phalloplasty Surgeons — and deemed the procedures safe.

There are seven malpractice claims pending against Burman in Cook County Circuit Court, though he says most of them are frivolous.

Okay. I went to see this fool right before I found out about Thunders place. What got me was when I went there he said that he could make my dick larger and he looked at my stomach and said yeah you got a lot of fat there that I could work with to enlarge growth. As this moron was telling me this he was cutting open an apple with a knife and was shaking. I hurried the hell up out of that office. But before I left, I talked to one of the employees there and she encouraged me to loose weight. She said he was full of crap. Also he pointed out that in order for this to work, I would have to use a stretching device that he sold for 400 dollars. What I eventually found was fast-size and Thunders place and save about $10,000 and no deformed penis.

There is no way in hell I would let an 80 year old operate on any part of my body. It’s time for him to get out of the game.

I’ve wished many times that I would’ve found Thunders first.

But my impatient ass went the surgery route and has regretted it ever since.
