Patient Reviews
Jul 13, 2023
Dr P and his team is always up to date with diagnosis and treatments. Very few urology doctors order prostate MRI even now in 2023 becuz MRI of prostate still is not standard of care (and certainly wasn't at all common before covid!). Many insurance companies don't even pay for prostrate MRI. Doctors are learning when to order prostate MRI and how it can be helping and the prostate MRI that Dr P got helped me. Thank you!

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
