Hello Rotor... Just wanted to add my best wishes as you start your treatment. I was referred to Vanderbilt by my local uro and had my surgery there in 2010. I was very pleased with the treatment I received and the knowledge/expertise of the Urology Department staff. I still drive 300 miles just to go back for my cystos because I feel that is where I will receive the best care and monitoring.

Best wishes... Catherine

Best wishes, Rotor.

We are from East TN. Doug saw Dr. Joseph Smith at Vanderbilt for a second opinion. You are in a good place at Vanderbilt. Prayers are with you as you make your decision.
