Bob C. (CoolWave)

I had a bad experience with a previous urologist two years ago. He misdiagnosed me and performed a procedure that was not necessary and extremely painful. It took me two years to get up the courage to see another urologist. My internist referred me to Dr. Pugach in April of this year. I took the first appointment I could get. I told Dr. P of my previous experience and he assured me we wouldn’t do the same thing again. He examined me and asked me a number of pointed questions. After new tests I had not had before, the doctor confirmed that I had an enlarged prostate, not a urethral restriction. Dr. P explained my treatment options for inpatient surgical procedures and a less invasive outpatient procedure called CoolWave, which I chose. I would definitely advise anyone else with the same issue to consider this procedure. I’d also like to mention that I used to need the bathroom at least a dozen times in a 12 hour work shift. Now I go maybe twice! After 40 years of happy marriage, this procedure renewed my confidence in intimacy with my wife. I feel like a newly married man! I really appreciate my referring doctor sending me to a smaller practice. Its more personalized care and I can get to know my doctor and his staff. I thank Dr. Pugach as does my wife!
