If You Need a Second Opinion
Within the Urology Department, you'll find a specialist for every adult and pediatric urological disorder, disease or condition. They're always available for a second opinion. And because they are specialists, with expert knowledge of the latest research and treatment advances, their opinions can be especially useful. In fact, they've usually participated in that research.
