Dr Fernando Cabrera provided me with a thorough review of a CT scan I had several months ago. He explained the findings and the reasons why I was having symptoms and then suggested a procedure to eliminate most of the issues. He also offered follow-up plans to continue care following the procedure. A prior urologist had dismissed the CT findings and my symptoms, and I finally felt heard and acknowledged by Dr Cabrera. He was extremely professional and decisive and reassuring. I'm so very grateful to him.
