Set my mind at ease about small kidney tumor, a kidney cyst and a small adrenal tumor. He is a very kind knowledgable urological surgeon.

despite being told by 2 other urologists in Nashville, Dr Hammondtree cut me off mid sentence when attempting to give symptoms/ supporting evidence of reasons why Nashville doctors came to different conclusion. Was told I’m too young to have prostate issues at 34, and that because I take the prescription Adderall as prescribed, I will have bladder issues. Extremely confused as to why he seems so rushed to get onto the next patient and not interested in even letting me finish my list of issues I had written down in advance in anticipation of appointment for months
