Dr. Batten is THE urologist. His contagious smile, excellent bedside manner, and genuine concern for his patients make him the best of the best in his field. After my personal bout with kidney stone, which resulted in serious illness related to a hidden infection, Dr. Batten was the greatest. Then, after about 10 years, my husband developed kidney stones. He was so impressed by the treatment I received from Dr. Batten that he would go to no one else for treatment. He felt safe in Dr. Batten’s care and he came through his kidney stone experience(including stent placement, lithotripsy, and stent removal) with flying colors. If all docs were like Dr. Batten, the world of medicine would be a much better place… and a lessened fear of doctors.
