PA was excellent. She was so inclusive that by the time the surgeon came in we had no concerns or questions, his visit was a 5 min "hello".

Dr O'neill and his staff are efficient and "very busy" - It appears the subject is taboo and can only be discussed in certain places or behind closed doors. I found this procedure no different than anything else. I would have liked a bit more of Dr O'neill's time, but we will get over it and I totally appreciate his efforts on my behalf. I will likely live longer and healthier thanks to him.

I came because of a recommendation. I work in an LDS Temple with 60 old guys like me...when I told them i need surgery several said cancel what you have going in Odgen and call Ammon and get in there to see Dr O/Neil. I am grateful for that advice.

After discussing treatment options, the Doctor scheduled additional tests (MRI), resources, and an appointment with an oncology radiologist as per my request! If requested, the Doctor indicated that he would fax my records to another medical facility!

Dr. O'Neill could not give me results of the ultrasound but assured me that everything appeared normal. When the results were available, I was called immediately and confirmed what Dr O'Neill told me.

When Dr.Brock ONeil I was told that due to my Cancer of Bladder consists of very aggressive cells,he would do the Surgical Procedure as soon as possible, Partial Reseection of Bladder with removal of several Lymph Nodes in the Pelvis area. I feel 1 MONTH was not exactly really soon.I am scheduled for June 1st. I am sure there are are other things that need to be discussed or tests before the Surgical Date.
