Napa Valley Urology Associates

Well, how does one review a Urology clinic when it’s the first ever visit? Well, I researched the clinics in Sonoma County and San Francisco. I choose this one because I liked the credentials and biographies of all the doctors — didn’t read any bad reviews in Unilocal… and I liked the faces of the doctors in the biographies! You know, show me a police line-​up and I think I can detect the ones who have all the lights on and someone is at home when I look into the eyes. So, based upon reviews, biographies, internet stuff and a book from Amazon I choose Napa Valley Urology Associates.
I choose Dr Khaira but would have been happy with anyone in that group. I needed a specialist to act upon a high PSA score. Dr Khaira was able to verify a biopsy was needed and performed the procedure to get the needed results. This excellent review is given because of his skillful performance to get the 12 samples and do it quickly with minimal pain. He had an assistant so that the procedure was quickly done. I have read of this exercise being done with as few as six samples — and the use of a topical painkiller rather than injections and no assistant. The pain from the topical painkiller can be «excruciating» so that six samples is all that can be taken at one time. (I always like to inject a little humor into my reviews as a little treat to anyone who takes the bother to read it… so use your own imagination here to have a good laugh and then read on.) Dr Khaira gave adequate pain injections and the procedure went smoothly.
Napa Valley Urology Associates is a busy place! When I went in for a 10:30 appointment it was like a busy bus station… though there were plenty of seats. A small army of women run the front desk and from the banter of conversations I heard they are a happy crew that work well together: signs of a well managed group. I also saw a couple of local men who were surprised to see each other there — but found the opportunity to schedule a dinner to try out some new wine. A busy place and a happy place.
