I went to Dr. Pickens after hearing he did mini pcnl had stones in both kidneys for long time scared of ureterscopy and stents. Was told by my urologist would be 3 surgeries with at least 3 weeks of stents to remove them. Dr. Pickens listened to my fears promised I wouldn't need stents or even a neph tube like traditional pcnls. And that he could do both kidneys same surgery in less than two hours. Although the hospital was a long day mostly waiting on an available operating room the procedure went well. I think they should advertise his expertise in this and believe he has given me back my life without horrible kidney stone pain. I appreciate what he did for me more than he could ever know.
