  2. Dr Duty was very informative, easy to understand and kind.

  3. He was very friendly and professional, he explained what he was going to do and why it needed to be done. Very happy that I received a kidney and wish me good luck. Performed the procedure very quickly and was done in under a minute with very little discomfort.

  4. Dr. Doody has helped me immensely. My surgery went well. Actually the first surgery didn't go too well. I had an infection and he had to close me up and two weeks later he had to do it all over again. But that wasn't his fault. Everything turned out well and he's been a great provider for me. I trust him fully. I would recommend him to anybody that is having problems in that area. Thank you.

  8. He has taken time to get to know me and understands my health goals. He has greatly reduced the amount of intervention I was experiencing with my prior urologist.

Because of his care, I have a lot more trust that allows me to seek the care that I need.
