Very professional, the staff was very nice and helpful in my situation. Glad I made the appointment here because they wasted no time in getting me the information I needed.
You couldn't ask for a better staff. They are courteous, helpful and really know their stuff.
Thank you Doctor Ahlering for giving me the potential for a future. Your leadership and skill is reflected throughout your wonderful caring team who navigated me through this phase of my journey and treated me as if I was one of your own family.
My recovery exceeded every expectation that I had. After the surgery I was basically pain free and only took 1 Tylenol tablet! I was able to walk at length couple of days after the surgery. I did not even feel weak as one expects after the surgery.
Very professional staff, I like the rapport that they build with their patients. I took my son in for a procedure and the medical assistants took me under their wings and explained every step of the procedure in detail. I couldn't had chosen a better facility.
I have been treated by Dr. Louie and have nothing but good things to say about it. He is friendly, knowledgeable and will answer all the questions posed. In other words he has good bedside manner.
Our manuscript published on May 27, 2020, in the World Journal of Urology is the first report of real-time measurement of intracalyceal pressure during ureteroscopy within a kidney.
Pressurized irrigation used during endoscopy allows the urologist to visualize and treat kidney stones. This is particularly important, as you need a clear field in order to use the smallest laser fibers (i.e. 200 microns) to break up stones and to use small basket type devices to entrap and remove the stone fragments. However, the concern is that pressurized irrigation could cause fluid backflow into the kidney, which could lead to an infection.
Utilizing a miniaturized pressure transducer commonly used for studying the heart, the UCI Kidney Stone Center researchers measured pressure within different parts of a human kidney for the first time in the world. This information will allow urologists to use pressurized irrigation more safely during ureteroscopy, which has the potential to reduce infections following kidney stone surgery, which is the most common type of surgery urologists perform in the United States today.
