First I'd like to point out that the sad and sorry Gina A. is a person who has submitted 10 one star reviews. Where the hell do these miserable people come from anyway?
I can't say enough good things Advent Health Medical Group (Urology at Denver). When I got the unfortunate news from the wonderful Dr. Sorensen on December 19th, 2024 that I had a "very large tumor" on my right kidney and that I needed surgery, I was understandably taken aback and scared. But then Dr. Sorensen said something about my future surgeon that I decided to hold onto every day: "Dr. Dagenais is your CHAMPION. He does robotic surgery" etc. Right away I was comforted and I went from problem mode to solution mode. I actually had a nice Christmas in NY knowing that I was going to return to see my future surgeon who was going to "fix me". And when I met Dr. Dagenais on New Years eve for our first pre-surgery consult, I was REALLY put at ease: Harvard educated, genial, fit and kind, his very presence just had an air of quiet confidence and I was absolutely elated. I immediately knew I was in great hands and floated out of his office to meet friends that evening knowing that at least surgery was not going to be an issue as I had a real expert doing my surgery.
(Going to add in here that the web portal they use for scheduling, messages, tests and son in is really great and so that transparency and visibilty is really excellent). My surgery was January 13, 2025 and everything went incredibly smoothly: from check in, to getting ready for surgery, talking to the super competent anesthesiologist and all of the nurses. In fact, even before surgery a nurse made a comment about Dr. Dagenais where he said "Dr. Dagenais does this all the time. This is not a one-off for him, it's his specialty" etc. He didn't have to say that as I was already quite comfortable and not nervous but I really appreciated that my surgeon has the respect of his colleagues, and now of course me, his very grateful patient. If you have a serious medical concern around urology and cancer, I can't recommend Advent Medical Group enough. And especially Dr. Dagenais, my champion, and hero :-) Cheers, Billy (see my journey on Insta @billyfromnorway read more
