It's always wise to get a second opinion; It's even better when one discovers that one's doctor is well respected by her peers and considered an expert with one's type of injury [spinal cord injury (SCI) from a ski misfortune. (url.valarino.com/ADD if you are interested)] I'm describing my urologist Dr. Regina Hovey. I have to use a catheter to deal with my SCI; when a suprapubic type was not working as expected, she proposed the quick and correct decision for me to use a foley catheter. She fully involved me and my wife in this decision, which has resulted in less pain and an improved ability to complete my many therapies and activities. Her staff is always gracious and available.

Dr. Hovey listens very attentively to all you have to say and is able to diagnose your problem correctly and accurately. She then is able to know what tests or medications might be the best option for you, she doesn't just guess, she knows!!

When you are dealing with serious medical issues, pelvic floor issues, IC, adhesions, it is so nice to work with a doctor who understands and isn't overly anxious to do surgery. Doctor Hovey looks at all aspects of the patient, so even if there was a wait, or if someone with the office staff had a bad day, It is well worth the wait to have a doctor with as much experience and knowlege as this doctor has.
