Dr. Mueller was outstanding at every step of the process. He expertly utilized laparoscopic and robotic surgical techniques and as a result, I was able to walk out of the hospital hours later and had a quick recovery. I also discovered later that he obtained and analyzed lymph node and other samples to screen for issues

Dr. Mueller discussed things with me as though we were long friends, with great clarity, frankness, and a wholistic interest in my health and life goals. He let me know the impressive stats of his practice — but as support for his confidence in the repair suggested rather than as the cudgel some other medical folks use.
