Listen to me with two ears

Dr. Barnett is an excellent surgeon. Everyone in your Urology department is the best! I saw […] the day after my appointment with Dr. Barnett to pull my dialysis catheter out of my chest. I was anxious about possible pain. But I felt nothing as it was pulled out! […] is also dedicated to my health as if I'm his only patient! He comes to the appointment totally prepared to discuss options for my kidneys and kidney stones. Please never let these 2 doctors go anywhere else!

Dr Barnett was extremely professional & thoroughly versed in my case. He was aware of my medical history & why I was there. We agreed that my symptoms have diminished, so I'll return in 1 year. If no further symptoms, no surgery will be necessary.
