But Dr. Moreno started pulling on it over and over and I was yelling in pain and I asked him to stop. He didn't explain what the problem was and kept slapping my hands out of the way.

I admit by this time I had my fist in the air and he started acting a lot nicer. He put a new one in and told me not to come back there. He has no bedside manners or empathy.

My wait time in the waiting area was minimal and once the nurse finished reviewing and entering my information Dr. Garbeff was quick to come into the treatment room.

I was later surprised when he called me during the weekend to review my test results, which were normal. I don't remember any other doctor in the past who called me themselves to review my test result. I am truly amazed with this doctor.

Imagine experiencing the feeling of never being able to empty your bladder, having to urinate every…read more20-30 minutes, and having to wake-up out of a deep sleep 3-4 times a night in order to urinate. This describes what I was experiencing for roughly six months. This condition was causing me to be extremely irritable ( due to a lack of quality sleep) and less productive at work (frequent trips to the restroom). Due to my stubbornness, I let the condition persist until I could no longer live with the discomfort. Therefore, I made an appointment with my physician for an examination. My physician conducted a prostate test (I will spare you the details), diagnosed me with an enlarged prostate, and told me that I should reduce my water intake. In addition, she suggested that I take a medication called Flomax. This medication would suppress the symptoms, but had a myriad of side effects. After complaining that the medication was causing me to be extremely drowsy, my physician referred me to a urologist. Shortly after my conversation with my physician, I received a call from Dr. Golden's office. I scheduled my appointment, which was roughly a month and a half away (I assume that this is because he is a specialist). Leading up to the appointment I was extremely nervous and did not know what to expect. I advise anyone who may be in a similar situation to stay off of the internet at this time (WebMD almost sent me into a nervous breakdown). When I arrived (they ask that you arrive 30 minutes prior to your appointment), I was warmly greeted by Dr. Golden's assistant. Her temperament was very enthusiastic, personable, and soothed my nerves. After completing the new patient intake form, she brought me in to check my vitals and administer a urine culture. After doing the aforementioned tests, his assistant conducted an ultrasound of my bladder (to determine if I was emptying my bladder). Shortly after her departure, Dr. Golden entered the room. Although personable with a great sense of humor, he was very knowledgeable and asked the right probing questions. Dr. Golden explained to me that after providing the urine sample (which was 15 minutes prior to his arrival), there was roughly 12 ounces of urine remaining in my bladder. Therefore, it was determined that I was not fully emptying my bladder. In addition, Dr. Golden was able to narrow the diagnosis down to a condition called urethral stricture, which is a narrowing of the urethra. This is caused by an injury to the penis or scrotum, and causes a decrease in urine stream and discomfort while urinating. Afterwards, Dr. Golden's assistant directed me to a room where Dr. Golden would perform the most painful procedure that I have ever endured. Dr. Golden inserted a thin camera called a endoscope into my urethra. The camera would allow Dr. Golden to see the intricate details of my urethra. After inserting the camera, Dr. Golden pointed out that I had a significant amount of scar tissue restricting the flow of urine through my urethra. Hence why I had a weak urine flow and experienced difficulty emptying my bladder. Being that Dr. Golden's goal was to send me home with some relief, he proceeded to insert a flimsy, thin metal wire into my urethra. Dr. Golden used this instrument to clear the scar tissue blocking the areas. This extremely uncomfortable procedure lasted for roughly 20 minutes, and had me highly anticipating the moment when he and his assistant would remove the inserted devices. Shortly after the removal of the instruments, I made a bee-line for the restroom. This may sound ridiculous, but Dr. Golden and his assistant offered me one of the best Christmas gifts....the ability to urinate with no restrictions! My post-procedure urination was strong (stream) and fulfilling. I cannot put into words the discomfort that I experienced prior to this procedure; therefore, I will never take for granted the ability to urinate freely. Before sending me home, Dr. Golden and his assistant scheduled me for a Retrograde Cystography. So far, I have been sleeping through the night with less trips to the restroom and have been experiencing a healthy urine stream. Thank you Dr. Golden and your team for calming my nerves, listening to me, and providing me with some relief!
