Best Urologist at Baptist Wake Forest in Winston Salem?

When I called Wake Forest I was told Dr. Atala specializes in Pediatric Urology. I made an appt with Dr. Kader for 5/1. I am a bit apprehensive as he just joined the WF group 2/08 - from Anderson (where he did his Fellowship). I was told he sees patients in the office two days a week, and does surgery three days a week.

Here is a link to the Urology Dept. at Wake Forest.

Dr. Anothony Atala is the one we had our consult with and he is amazing! Talk about knowing the ins and outs of the bladder, He is the Dr. who has actually created a bladder in the lab from the persons own cells!

My Mom just went to Vanderbilt for a second opinion and is scheduled there 6/13 for a RC. Since we have time, we'd like to also go see a Urologist at Wake Forest (which is about half the distance of Vanderbilt). Any recommendations who to see there?

I see Torti mentioned, but I think he's an Oncologist, not a Urologist?

Thanks,

KC
