I had a wonderful office visit with Doctor Summers. I had been dealing with an enlarged prostate for 25 years and was finally at the point where I knew I had to do something more than meds (which weren't helping). I am so glad I met this amazing surgeon! He pointed out several procedures that were available but the one he thought would do me the most good was the RASP. And he was right! The surgery went perfect and I am now six weeks later and am back to a normal life. What's different however is the way I can now void. I feel like I am a teenager :-) By the way I am in my 70's. Thank you Doctor Summers for everything you did for me. I will forever be thankful !

A well organized care system with communication amongst other caregivers in the appointment
All EXCELLENT!
I liked Dr Summers. He was really good. My only comment is that he did seem a bit rushed, which is not his fault. My impression is that the U places quite an emphasis on productivity. I would have liked a full exam, which I didn't get due to time constraints, I am guessing.

Dr. Stephen Summers is great. He listened well and took time to explain all options in detail and answered all my questions. Great rapport.
Doctor's spent 2.5 hours asking questions then explaining to myself & my wife, what my situation is. Dr. Summers & the assistant Dr took an ultra sound measuring my prostate, 106cm. Surgery options going over each one in great detail. Gave us his professional medical opinion regarding the ones he's preformed. Together after much consideration we chose RASP surgery with us gaining a clear understanding of the surgery pros & potential negatives. I'd give Dr. Summers his assistant doc & staff 9.8 out of 10.
Great job
The whole experience was excellent. I was called back immediately and the MA was gracious and efficient. I really like Dr Sommers. He is calm and considerate and took ample time to explain my options to me. He answered my questions patiently and thoughtfully.
Most of my experience was with Dr Summers and his nurse and experience was fantastic.
Very professional
During the visit, I was impressed by Dr. Summers caring attitude. His Nurse was so kind and helpful. I really thought I had found a caring urologist. Dr. Summers seemed to do a thorough job on the cystoscopy but the conversation sidetracked a few times so questions that could have been answered, didn't. At the end of the procedure, he said I probably should do a kidney ultrasound and CT scan at some point in the future. I explained I had several other procedures I also had to deal with so I would do as he suggested when I got past the other procedures as I am currently feeling overwhelmed with it all . He then told me to be sure and communicate with him on MyChart if I had any questions. Unfortunately, the day following the procedure I developed a bad UTI. I didn't know what to do so I purchased the d-mannose Dr. Summers suggested until I could get help. Because it was Presidents weekend, I couldn't find anyone to help. I sent a message to Dr. Summers with the questions I had and the concerns I had about developing a UTI after the procedure. I finally was able to speak with the urology resident on call. By then, I couldn't pass much urine and my kidney was very painful and I had a fever. The resident prescribed an antibiotic and asked me to go to the lab for a urine culture. But when I arrived at the Farmington lab, the person at the desk said it was closed until Monday morning. I felt very bad by then. Fist thing Monday morning I went back to the lab do leave a urine culture and was finally able to get my prescription.I still had heard nothing from Dr. Summers and in fact still haven't. When I tried calling on Tuesday, I was transferred to Xavier who told me just to take the antibiotic. This week has been difficult. I've been in a lot of pain post procedure; feel very frustrated that I developed a UTI after the procedure; and was never given the help I needed after I left Dr. Summers office. I have waited all week to hear from him or his staff but there has been nothing.
Very well done and impressive.
Dr. Summers is a superb medical professional and communicates well. He answers all questions in an extremely professional and courteous manner. I have been attending him for several years now and will definitely continue. As a matter of fact I have referred others to him.
Dr Summers was great

Everyone was terrific

Dr. Summers is an amazing physician. He has provided extraordinary care, always keeping me informed and involved. I'm sure his schedule is hectic and very demanding, but when he enters the exam room he is singularly engaged in my personal medical care.
Wow, this guy is good. He answered all of my questions before I could ask. My only regret is that he is so booked up that I wish that he was the one doing my procedure
Good
Dr Summers is a caring physician of great expertise
I had a biopsy. Care provider will call later with course of action
The doctor I spoke with was very knowledgeable and helpful with my condition!
My appt was late on a Friday afternoon. I figure Dr. Summers had to have been tired from a long week. I received superb care!

One of the best doctors i've ever dealt with
Dr. Summers is alert to concerns on the part of his patients and willing to listen to their questions with a sensitive ear. He is also a knowledgeable practitioner who has the patient's best interest in mind. He effectively heard my fears and was able to show me that another step was truly in my best interest.
Dr Summers took time to explain my medical problem in a professional and cordial way
Dr Summer's and PA Evans were very good. I highly recommend them

He made an uncomfortable situation as comfortable as possible. Good conversation throughout the surgery and a good listening ear. Good experience all around!
Your level of care is better than any other clinic or hospital that I have been to.

I feel that he works well with me
i really liked the Dr.
In my 75 years of going to a doctor, Dr Summers is truly the best. So,caring, knowledgeable, polite, and all around an incredible doctor.
Dr. Summers took the time to go over with me ideas of treatment etc. I felt well informed and was included in the path forward.
all good
The Drs. and nurses at my appointments are helpful and very understanding of me. What we discuss about my condition are explained clearly.
I had a number of questions and the doctor was very helpful with his explanations and instructions.
Dr. Stephen Summers is the best.
While everything during the appointment was excellent, I was not notified about the results of the lab test taken during the visit. My first indication was a notice from my pharmacy that they had a prescription ready for me to pickup. I should have been notified on MyChart!
Both the PA-N and Dr. Summers took considerable time addressing my questions and concerns. The recommendations and detailed instructions provided the confidence I needed to follow thru at home till the next visit. I especially felt good about leaving with a copy of what we discussed, and a short time later received lab results in MyChart Account.
I got all answers
extremely satisfied. great visit and very nice physician
Dr Summers and PA John E Thomas were very helpful in explaining things. Very happy. Thank you!
Dr Summers carefully discussed me condition and recommended next steps in evaluating the problem.

Dr. Summers took care as he explained the results of the test. He provided detailed information that I was to follow until I see him again.
The care provider was good at diagnosing my medical concern; he showed me on the display what was going on, and proposed a few options, one of which I dismissed right away, and so I chose the second option. Then he told me to do something provide relief in the mean time.
Excellent
Dr. Summers is top notch! He completely understood my condition, developed a detailed plan to deal with it, and explained every step to me and my wife. He is very knowledgeable, understanding, cheerful, and positive.
Im pleased with the outcome. I thanked Doctor Summmers and asked him to convey my thanks to his staff as well in particular to Allen and Kaylin.
