Easy to talk to and a very good listener. His recommendation to thoroughly test my bladder before proceeding to the next phase of treatment was reassuring and welcome. Previous Doctor was ready to just give me a Botox Regimen w/o any further tests and no seemingly strong concern to what the consequences might entail if the bladder was not able to accept Botox, i.e. "wearing a catheter" Note:I been there and never want to do it again!

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
