My general surgeon here in South Bend, Indiana, felt that there is not a urologist in our community who would be able to perform the necessary surgery. He wanted to send me to Indianapolis because it is a teaching hospital, until I reminded him that most of my doctors and medical staff are at Northwestern Memorial. And the recommendation of Dr. Ziho Lee was extremely important for my recovery.
