Thank you for Your care and support

09/09/2024

Obviously a caring practice that values excellence. I do not say this about all providers, and in fact have had two bad experiences with other practices recently. My top rating of the Troy folks is not relative or in reaction to the two negative experiences elsewhere. Urology office and all your folks there stand on their own excellence and professionalism.

09/09/2024

all pleasant, and professional

Dr Shuman took the time to explain everything I wanted to know.

I waited an extra couple of months, with diminished urine flow, to see Dr. Shuman rather than seeing someone else sooner. That probably says something.
