I felt no indication of being hurried through my appointment or indication of not caring. Just the opposite!

Dr Mehr and Dr Kavoussy were excellent. Great interpersonal communication skills and excellent at explaining and involving me in the discussion. The urology residents were super complimentary of Dr Kavoussy when I was in the hospital.

Dr. Mehr (resident physician) came in first and spent a lot of time answering our questions. Dr. Kavoussi then followed and responded to our questions and concerns regarding the recommended surgery. Both doctors were professional and courteous. It was clear they both had read my medical file and test results prior to the appointment. Neither doctor was hurried during the appointment, as they patiently answered our questions until we didn't have any more to ask. My wife and I were both Impressed by the professionalism, understanding, and kindness demonstrated by the team. They inspired confidence, so we have decided to move forward with the surgery at Vanderbilt.

Dr Kavoussi and his team were EXTREMELY informative and had obviously spent time reviewing my physical history. I was comforted by Dr Kavoussi sharing his thoughts and experiences with my requirements. I feel fortunate to be in his team's care.
