He was informative, was patient though hurried when our initial consultation took place. He hooked us into two little books with promotional informative info on 2 different methods to alleviate prostrate issues that older men seem to have. I wonder why the medical profession is clueless on why or how to prevent prostrate issues in the first place but then the money is in the procedures isn't it? We opted for Rezum (catchy marketing name) which is a thermal blast in lieu of implant that Urolift provides in the Treatment for BPH vs Or Treatment of Enlarged Próstata Symptoms. So symptoms here are the key word not cause or cure. The doctor was effective at explaining what to expect and in doing the thermal blast and as we wait here to remove catheter we have yet to know if it will be effective itself. Schiff informed us on Thursday, the day of procedure, that he would be on vacation for the following Monday when the catheter would be removed. However being Presidents Day meant he had it in for a whole extra day. This meant nothing to the Doc or staff and everything to the patient. Had we known we would have opted for another date convenient to the patient. Here we are on Tuesday and the PA is explaining all the next days/weeks of adverse reactions or effects of procedure. Blood, clots being released in steam and frequent even urgency to urinate. This they explain after you have the procedure so you don't back out I assume. I can hear the nurse inside now asking him what procedure he had and am concerned she doesn't know it as she tests his bladder by filling it with water and having him pass that water on his own. I just keep thinking yo myself: the Doctor should be here for a man of his clients age and that in the least have called him to see how he is doing. I'm fortunate to be practicing healing modalities and as a health coach o know the healing foods that support the kidney, bladder and urinary tract. This I feel is critical beyond the 5 minutes the doc is with the procedure it's the healing that is critical as well. The doc nor anyone else informed the client that the body is best healed by following certain healing protocols. It's not bedside manner it's showing a client that you are not a factory producing money for the medical industry and that your client matters. But the future of health care is shifting and there will be this kind of practice where a client can choose between factory style disease maintenance or human approach to health care and repair. That said, the staff - except for front reception- were wonderful. The PA Julane gave us all the info we needed (what to expect) to focus on his body's recovery from the procedure. I used Reiki, Crystal Healing, a dedicated group healing for him and sound baths and I'm confident these modalities and clean diet have made this a procedure without incident. The PA was tuned into this and appreciated our approach. I do hope the doc enjoyed his vacay while his client pained an extra day with the damn catheter. To be continued....

As we waited extremely long for our turn my father began looking more and more fatigued and ill. The PA, Dr. Heimbauer, took him in for scope for approx. ten minutes. Came out and said he couldn't see anything, too cloudy. At this point my father was almost falling over in his wheelchair. We knew something was wrong. Asked to see doctor. PA told us they were too busy, to make an appointment. We reiterated we needed to see doctor and he completely blew us off, "Sorry, we are too busy today." I walked OUTSIDE the office with my father and as my mother held him up in the wheelchair because he couldn't even sit up, I called 911. We had to wait for an ambulance OUTSIDE of their office because the doctor would NOT SEE US and ,lo and behold, nobody in this "UROLOGIST's" office could be bothered to do a test during my father's SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT or even take the time to examine him and figure out that my father had a very bad UTI, URINARY TRACT INFECTION!!!!! And guess what, this company is a MONOPOLY on Long Island!! Almost all of the urologists on the internet belong to one of these centers. Don't walk away, run!!!
