I too have heard that they often come down naturally, and at much later years than merely six years old. I don't know about your kid and your case and sure am not a doctor, but am just relating that I've heard that it's not necessarily a really big deal, much less one that requires immediate surgery.

This is not particularly good advice. True undescended testicles carry increased risk for testicular torsion, infertility, and malignancy.

Undescended testes at age 1 are already cause for concern. Few would recommend delaying surgery any later than age 2.

There was a non-surgical option available, but it is currently 4-5 years too late for it.

If these are true undescended testes, then OP will be very, very hard-pressed to find a doc who wouldn't be recommending surgery right now.

It is simply mind-boggling that they could be undescended testes if the child has been getting well-child exams along the way, however.

If the child has not had well-child exams then the OP has been quite negligent. Given that the OP said that doing a physical exam on his son was "padding the bill", I do still consider this to be a live possibility.
