My Urulogist Dr Ginsberg for kidney stones he is straight to the point answers questions staff is very polite n professional I have had 2 laser surgeries to remove my stones My Rheumatologist Dr Brent for 8 years and in the last two years my Arthritis has been severe cyst on my fingers toes no longer my hands n feet every joint in my body has been active with stiffness immflamation n swelling.
