Dr. Southwick was outstanding! He went above and beyond in his thoroughness and concern. I have recommended him to a friend.

I answered with two individuals in mind, the Urology Resident who came into my exam room first, then the Urologist himself. As a new patient, and quite aware of cancer issues, I came to the appointment with some specific questions in mind. Although professional, I thought the Resident could have been a bit more accepting and affirming of my general urology questions. On the contrary, he seemed a bit amused, and I wasn't confident his answers were always spot on. This was not the case with the Urologist, who seemed competent and inviting of my inquiries. In summary: if patients are going to own their care, doctors (especially those in training) must invite questions.

I've had this procedure several times and in comparison this doctor was magic. His care and technique were extraordinary. The biopsy was virtually painless after anesthesia.

My family doctor made the first appointment for me, and I have been very, very pleased with her choice. Dr Southwick explains everything, and he is so easy to talk to. He treated me as an equal--not something I've always found with doctors.

Dr. Southwick's manner, approach and demeanor almost instantly engenders confidence and trust in his professional skills, knowledge and abilities. He not only provides full explanations of one's condition and the options for treatment, he also listens to the patient and honors the patient's self-knowledge and insights.

I was able to meet Dr. Southwick and thank him myself for performing the surgery...I sincerely wanted to thank him! He answered all of my questions and allowed me to observe the procedure of taking "out" the stent! It was incredible! I was very gratefu

I have recommended the urology clinic to others. Dr. Southwick is a doctor who knows exactly how to explain things to my understanding. My wife (who has been to nursing school) also agrees that he is as good as doctors come in his explanations.
