| - For the last almost 5 years, I've suffered with kidney stones, infections, and dealt with 4 surgeries to correct a condition I have that causes obstruction and swelling in my kidneys.
I've been to 5-6 doctors (I've lost count now) one @$$hole surgeon, and have been in and out of the hospital so many times, I was on a first name basis with the nurses.
In all that time, I've NEVER had any doctor sit and explain my condition, give me answers, and more importantly, discuss a PLAN to actually resolve my problem until Dr. Zommick.
I was referred here by Spring Valley ER, after a diagnosis in the ER last week.
The scheduling process was easy, and when they give you the opportunity to do the majority of your intake paperwork online before your appointment.
I arrived early, and was taken back to the room for a urine sample and vitals before my scheduled time.
I did wait for the doctor for a little while, but realistically, who doesn't wait at the doctor's office? I brought my knitting with me, so the time passed quickly.
When Dr. Zommick came in, he immediately made me feel comfortable by cracking a well mannered joke. ("what do you do for fun when you aren't hanging out in doctor's offices and hospitals?")
He asked me to explain my history, and listened attentively.
And then he took his time to explain things that no other doctor had told me. He let me know that while the previous surgery may have been successful, a lot of times in cases like mine, the muscles collapse, and the conditions come back.
He has scheduled some more tests and follow up, and has a plan of action that could give me back a pain free life.
His office staff is polite, and super friendly.
I feel, after one visit, SO much better about my situation, knowing that there might be a light at the end of the tunnel...
