Just waiting to read the surgical options.

Dr. Summers was very thorough explaining the different options available for my issue and including me in his final assessment. Great doctor providing great patient care.

Having had a long term health concern It was essential for me to understand treatment options, and limitations, applicable to my situation. I felt understood and aware of my alternatives.

Dr. Summers was a truly caring physician. He answered my questions carefully and thoughtfully, and was willing to answer any follow up questions until I understood everything exactly. He was kind and compassionate. I really loved him and would recommend him to anyone.

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 !

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.

Again, very to ork with

Very good doctor

Dr Summers has taken responsibility to provide me with the correct care that tests indicated.

It is always a positive experience in his practice. I would highly recommend him based on my experience. Explains things in simple terms. He listens and responds to questions in a polite manner.

Dr. Summers spent considerable time reviewing my condition. He was clear and detailed answering my questions, and positive about my attitude and understanding. I felt good to hear there would be no need to see him sooner than a year.

Excellent

the Dr. was excellent.

Dr Summers is one of the best doctors I have ever been to!! He addressed every concern and more. He listened and helped. Could not be better!

Dr Summers carefully discussed me condition and recommended next steps in evaluating the problem.

As I commented in my initial remarks, Dr. Summers was very professional and when he informed me that the procedure I wanted to pursue was not available to me due to medical reasons. He explained all of the alternate procedures and discussed the pros and cons of each procedure. No pressure was applied to make a decision durning that vistit. He suggested I do my own research and talk with whomever I like about the procedure he recommended, which I have done. Dr. Summers is one of the most impressive physicians I have ever met.

Very Professional

Dr Summers was pleasant and easy to talk to. I appreciated the time he took to go over my tests and recommendations for treatment. I could tell that he was concerned that I receive the best possible care and that I understood everything being done.

Very professional and likable.

careful explanations and discussions of options

Dr Summers was great

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.

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.

Very well done and impressive.

On my first consultation four years ago he clearly explained the issues. and I am happy to trust him to direct one of the procedures discussed then.

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.

This was in-person, not virtual. Dr. Summers was absolutely outstanding in all areas of my care.

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.
