I think Dr. Spettel is the best urologist I have seen. I went to her for kidney stones my previous urologist didn’t remove. She got them. 10 months later they are still gone. She answered all my questions with patience. I appreciate how much she cares about her patients.

I spent a great deal of time with her medical assistant. Was told they were going to do a bladder ultrasound. I needed to Google reason for ultrasound to find out way. Medical Assistant performed the ultrasound. I did not see MD until we were about 30 min into the appt. She did not mention the results of the ultrasound. I had to ask. Results seemed superficial. Dr. Spettel did a solid job of explaining my options. One was non-invasive and an oral pill. She discussed about 4 invasive options-two in office and two in the hospital under anesthesia. I opted for RX. She advised it may take up to 2 months to shrink the prostate. Post appt I checked the side effects-which I considered significant. These side effects were not discussed during the visit to my recollection. Since potential side effects may contribute to impotence, it would have been very appropriate to ask if was sexually active. We’ll see how I handle this medication & potential side effects. Hoping for the best outcome.
