Review for Dr. Schroeder

When I was younger, I didn’t know the importance of a urologist. Now, at 72, things like knowing your PSA and having a urologist are critical. Dr. Abedi is excellent and caring doctor.

Review for Dr. Abedi

Very courteous and listened to my concerns, referring me for additional lab tests to address my concerns.
