| - ** Hello ... Yelp ... Anyone home? This place is now called Ironwood Urology. Please update. Sent you the requested information. :) **
After a long, distressing three months of misdiagnosis galore "Back injury - Go see a physical therapist; enjoy going broke!" "No, you have a 13cm kidney cyst!" "Just kidding, it's severe hydronephrosis!", my primary care doctor sent me to Ironwood Urology.
Dr. Bigelow is the bees knees! He was the surgeon that removed my right kidney and is now my urologist.
He was great with me and my family before, during and after the procedure.
Initially, I actually saw another doctor that was leaving the practice before being passed to Dr. Bigelow.
Found that unlike a lot of doctors, he took the time to explain to me what exactly a UPJ obstruction was (I didn't even ask, wow!), and was quick to reassure me that:
1) Nothing I "did" caused my kidney to die, as it likely happened in-utero, and
2) Nothing my mother "did" during her pregnancy caused this.
I especially appreciated him understanding that as a serious athlete, getting back to training was of great importance to me . . . While not compromising my safety or rushing the healing process.
Everyone in the practice has been pleasant, promptly returned phone calls, and speedy lab results.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ironwood Urology, Dr. Bigelow or Dr. Avila to any family and friends.
