When I awakened from hernia surgery I could not urinate which is required before leaving the hospital. After a cath, it continued for the next 5 weeks. I could not sleep more than an hour a night for 5 weeks. Dr. Freedman did a prostate resectioning which fixed the deadly issue. I am fine since surgery and the plumbing is working perfectly and better than it has been over the past 5 years. The torture pain of not emptying my bladder is gone. He answers all questions, gives you as much time that you need, is understanding , soft spoken and gentle. He tells you the worst of what the outcome can be. I had no negative outcome which I was expecting the worst. Thank you Dr Freedman. I feel that you saved my life since I could not continue living with my prior situation.
