Patient Reviews
Jan 11, 2024
Who would like a better night’s sleep? And no urgency to find a restroom? For over 25 years, I ran an elevated PSA. When I first saw Dr. Ricardo Gonzalez at Methodist Urology in 2023, he kindly, but confidently, said I should not be fearful and that he could have solved my problems years earlier. Leaving no question unanswered, he explained GreenLight PV laser surgery refinements over the years and his accumulated expertise, including success with men even 20 years older, as well as much younger. Dr. Gonzalez reduced the size of my prostate. Shortly after a brief recovery, and to my delight very little discomfort, the procedure relieved pressure on the urinary track and I began urinating like a man half my age. I spent one night in the hospital and the Methodist staff could not have been more helpful or professional. Dr. Gonzalez is an excellent communicator and passionate about his profession and ability to help other men have a better quality of life. I’d call him a craftsman!
