Called the office to see if I could get in early as I was in town and my other appointment ended early. They were very friendly and accommodating. Procedure was not fun but I was as comfortable as possible. Explanation of my situation was excellent.
Dr. Rier has been very thorough with us on my upcoming surgery and condition. We appreciate his knowledge and patience in answering all of our questions.
Yearly meeting with Dr Rier to review progress of kidney removal. Reviewed results of Chest Xray and ultra sound and blood work results. Everything was looking good.Next meeting in 2 years.
This visit, on January 27, 2016, was a followup to my TURP procedure which had occurred on January 5th. At the time of this visit, I was able to urinate without problems, and the scan showed that my bladder had emptied sufficiently. I was very grateful, and when Dr. Reier came into the room I thanked him. I told him that I had been very nervous during the days following the surgery, because I had removed the catheter the next day, and bleeding had continued for some time. The doctor did not scold me. He said that I had been pretty 'blocked up', and said that this procedure was the right one for me. He told me to drink water (I believe he said at least 36 to 40 oz) each day; and he then asked me to go to the desk to schedule a follow-up cystoscopy. At the desk I was told to call around the end of February to schedule this for around the end of April. When I did call, the cystoscopy was scheduled for a day convenient to me. That will be April 20th at 3:00 p.m. I was very satisfied with how I was treated, and with the plan for the future.
