I had been apprehensive about talking with a surgeon about my ureter situation. However, Dr. Myers was kind, listened well, and did not push me toward surgery. Once we got the urethral/ureter misunderstanding straightened out and he understood my ureter issues, he laid out options, answered questions both from me and over the phone from my husband, and made sure we clearly understood the pros and cons of everything we had discussed. We were also impressed that he made a follow-up call with no prompting to discuss a couple of other items. The whole visit was much more comfortable than I had expected, and we received the information we needed.

UofU Patient
November 03, 2017
Dr. Myers took the time to answer my questions and to consider my concerns. He answered objectively about different surgical options even when they didn't match his personal opinion. Dr. Myers offered a different physician who might be a better match for a specific element of my surgery. I am very impressed with his knowledge and lack of ego.

Dr Myers went above and beyond during this visit. After I explained by program, he performed an unscheduled scope, found some significant scaring in my urethra, and scheduled some corrective surgery. On a very busy day for him (when I was actually scheduled to see his PA), he took the time to diagnose my problem and provide a solution.
UofU Patient
August 28, 2017
At first I was reluctant to come in because I was feeling I was running out of options. Dr. Myers had some great ideas that he explained and we are trying it out.
UofU Patient
August 23, 2017
I was very relieved that it was Dr. Myers that took out my catheter and not his PA. His PA is a great person, and I have full confidence in her abilities, but her hands are a little rough compared to the more delicate, and less painful, care of Dr. Myers
UofU Patient

Care provider (also known as "doctor") saved my life and my urinary tract and continues to be my safeguard against the serious threats I face. He is a superb doctor, urologist, and person. I enjoy talking with him. Since I am a physician, he is able to communicate on a technical professional and honest level with me, which greatly appreciate. My continuing experience is an excellent one.

I was a little disappointed that Dr. Meyers didn't talk to me personally before the cysto to address the issues I was concerned about. He came in after I was on the procedure table and trying to find out the year's past history as things were rush, rush to get the procedure underway so he wasn't really concentrating on what I was saying.

he asked us if I knew that a urologist was a surgeon. I said YES since my wife and I both have Koch pouches and have had many urological surgeries and have been dealing with urologist from Johns Hopkins Dr. Schatz to Dr. Donald Skinner from Los Angeles who was the first to deal with the Koch Pouch bladder 20 years ago. Your doctor was not helpful and seemed dis-interested in helping me unless I needed surgery.

No lab work done. Dr. Meyers is great and just did a follow-up. I have seen him before, and he's a nice guy who understands me pretty well. His Resident was also there, and the two of them were not put off by my physical disability - they talked directly to me, and not to my Sister, who did help when they couldn't understand me.
UofU Patient
August 20, 2012
I was very impressed with Dr. Myers. He was easy to visit with, very thorough, and was willing to spend time with us without our feeling rushed. I particularly appreciate his expertise in performing my surgery. The outcome was very successful and life changing for me. Thank you!
UofU Patient

I am very pleased with Dr. Meyers and am glad one of the receptionists recommended him for my specific issues.
UofU Patient
June 18, 2012
I really hope that Dr. Myers follows up with researching how to get rid of the 'fat.' When I was having the constant infections the cloudy urine was always referred to as having an over abundance of white blood cells. This helps clarify the question about milky urine.
UofU Patient
June 08, 2012
I would recommend you before Mayo Clinic for my treatment was very appeciated.
UofU Patient

Through out my course of urology problems, I've been seen by several doctors. I feel that Dr. Meyers is the best Urologist in this state or anywhere else for that matter.

Super doctor and super staff. I was having a problem with my blood pressure and the staff was very concerned and made a recommendation to adjust my medications. They further called my home the following morning to follow up and make a further recommendation concerning my medications.

Overall, very good experience.
Dr. Myers completed specialty training with Dr. Jack McAninch at University of California, San Fransisco. His fellowship was in trauma and urologic reconstructive surgery. In his practice, Dr. Myers treats a variety of conditions. These include conditions like urethral strictures, ureteral scarring from previous surgery or congenital development problems, complications from radiation treatments, fistula from the urinary tract, neurogenic bladder from spinal cord injury or other diseases, urinary diversion, female incontinence, and male incontinence after prostate cancer treatment. Dr. Myers has a very busy clinical practice in urologic reconstruction and performs approximately 80 urethral stricture surgeries and about 40 urinary diversions per year.

Research Statement
Dr. Myers’ research focuses on three aspects of benign urologic disease: neurogenic bladder, reconstructive surgery, and management of urologic trauma. He was primary investigator of a Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) sponsored project entitled "Bladder Management and Spinal Cord Injury". In addition, also involving neurogenic bladder research, he is primary investigator of a recently funded Department of Defense grant entitled "Sacral Neuromodulation in Acute Spinal Cord Injury". These studies involve the Neurogenic Bladder Research Group (NBRG), started by Dr. Myers and several other investigators. NBRG is a large multi-institutional group focused upon patient reported outcomes and robust clinical studies. In addition, Dr. Myers is a founding member of the Trauma and Urologic Research Network of Surgeons (TURNS), another multi-institutional group of 13 centers in North America, studying reconstructive urology. His work in urologic trauma has involved the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST). He is the primary investigator for two prospective trials through the AAST, which involve greater than 20 level-1 trauma centers in the United States. These trials are focused on current management of renal and bladder trauma, as well as the outcomes of urethral realignment after pelvic fracture urethral injury. He is also active in two studies involving the Utah Population Database and familiality of urethral stricture disease and life course after radiation injury. Dr. Myers’ research represents great opportunities for both fellows and residents to become familiar with clinical outcomes and health services research.
