    The reason for my visit was a gemdoce treatment. The attending nurse was kind, patient and attentive. My only suggestion would be to provide a more comfortable exam table to lay on during the hour or so long procedure and a warmer environment. The exam table is very uncomfortable to lay on for the duration and more warmed blankets would have been appreciated.

    Prisma could test its systems to understand how they trample the ability of The website did not allow for ways for the patient to initiate certain conversations (every message has to fit in the software's designated 'box') and it proved impossible to send my doctor to transmit blood work results he had asked me to obtain and send (until I was sent a Prisma message that allowed me to respond and, in that format, utilize the "ATTACH" feature). Frustrating in the extreme.

    I found the exam comprehension and professional. Doctor Busby discussed in depth the results of the tests that revealed the lesion on one of my kidneys, and the options for addressing it. I was satisfied with his suggestion of monitoring the status of the lesion for several months because of its slow growth and small size. He told me, however, that he would remove it if I chose that option. I am satisfied that monitoring it is a preferred option for me. His office scheduled a follow-up appointment for me as well as an ultrasound scan in a few months to track any changes. I am confident in Doctor Busby's analysis and recommend him and his staff to those needing treatments for Urology issues.

    I have prostatic cancer and I'm scheduled to have surgery soon. Dr Busby has been with me every step of the way. I trust him and know he wants to give me the best outcome and hopefully another 30 years. I'm actually looking forward to the surgery despite the recovery time. We have kept close watch of the cancer and now is the right time to have my prostate removed. Who wouldn't want their cancer removed as soon as possible. I want to get back to a somewhat normal life. I have too many things to do, places to go and things to see, making new friends and possibly give back in someway. I have a positive attitude about this and I place my health in Dr Busby hands.
