I reached out to him to explore alternatives to a lifetime of taking medications for BPH and he went through a number of surgical treatments, finally recommending the Urolift procedure. After testing to make sure that I was a good candidate for this surgery, we set a date and had the procedure about 6 months ago. There was some pain after the procedure for about a week (treated with pain meds) but it was manageable. After about a month, I discontinued taking tamsulosin. Throughout this whole process, Dr Lurvey was very helpful, answering questions I had about the procedure and its aftermath. I no longer have the vexing symptoms of BPH and I don't have to take medications for the condition anymore. I'm very happy with Dr Lurvey's treatment and would recommend him to anyone else suffering from BPH symptoms.

The entire experience was quite pleasant. From what I remember of the staff pre-sedation, they were as they advertise. Competent and compassionate. From what I was told by my designated post-surgery driver, the staff of doctors and nurses also have a pretty good sense of humor and roll with whatever bizarre behavior their patients throw at them! The surgery center staff (minus my surgeon and my anesthesiologist) even went so far as to follow up with a get well card afterwards. Thank you April (registration), Alison (pre-op), Claudette and Trisha (OR), and Debbie (recovery). My hope is that I won't require further surgeries, but if I do... I will once again be choosing to have my procedures scheduled at the Brentwood Surgery Center.

I also have to pay an unexpected lab bill. During my spouse's appointment (a few days after my new patient appointment), I addressed the medication concern and the urgency of getting them filled. To my surprise, Dr. Syed stated, "Just because you bring a medication to me, doesn't mean I will prescribe it." I can understand this statement if she would have addressed her concerns when I was in front of her during my visit, but she did not! Additionally, she coded routine thyroid bloodwork as diagnostic and refused to re-code it. Thus, I am now having to pay an unexpected lab bill. I addressed my concerns with the provider. In the end, she prescribed the medications I needed but then took her time in providing the insurance company with the prior authorizations they required. This resulted in delaying the scripts from being filled as mentioned above. The entire encounter has caused me undue stress, and countless hours on the phone to sort out, not to mention the fallout from being taken off two of my medications so drastically. Do not recommend.
