Dr. Gedebu was timely, concise with her knowledge and comprehensive in her explanation of my husband's diagnosis of Prostate Cancer. I highly recommend her.

This 'specialist' couldn't diagnose a simple kidney stone. I SUFFERED for over 2 months with it, even after I told him and his partners I had one. But they couldn't accurately read a CT scan or X-ray. They prescribed several unnecessary medications and recommended unnecessary invasive procedures. And did not seem to care in the slightest about my pain. It took my new urologist about 30 seconds to diagnose my kidney stone, he removed it two days later, and my suffering was over! Even after notifying Dr. Godebu that she misdiagnosed me, she never even called me back.
