I have been having issues in the evening hours and also going multiple times a day to the bathroom. I was referred to the Bhalani Urology Institute.
I've been a patient here for about a year now, and after trying some medication and seeing some improvements- I still knew I needed to continue to stay open minded for whatever is recommended.
Today, I had a cystoscopy scheduled. This is where they put a camera in the most awkward of places, to see what's happening in your bladder and all of the area around.
They do an excellent job of prepping you for the procedure. Lots of paperwork, communication, and support. I knew what I had to do and was prepared for the morning to come and my nerves weren't so bad thanks to the meds prescribed prior.
Checking in, Ellie and Ivette were very friendly, professional, and helpful. I had some money owed, based on what insurance didn't cover and also the supplemental option to keep the pain to a minimum. No problem, I got checked in, payment, and set up with no problems at all. I needed my father to drive me after this was over.
Once checked in, Ruhi and Sophia (training) both got me situated in the room and explained what I needed to do to get ready for Dr. B and to be sure I was ready and happy to avoid pain and discomfort at all.
Dr. Bhalani came in and the procedure took a couple minutes. By the time it was done, I was dressed and sitting on the chair waiting to hear the results. He was so thorough, and detailed the options and paths forward for addressing the problems I was seeing. I also had some concerns about something I have had seen for years, and he was patient and supportive about also addressing those concerns without making me feel like it wasn't a major issue.
All said, we need to make a path forward and I will continue to use this office team because of the comfort level I have built over the last year+ with everyone.
I recommend the Bhalani Urology Institute for anyone's needs and concerns. Take any anxiety about what has to happen and trust this group. read more
