    I asked about several red spots on the interior wall of my bladder: Are they scars from previous surgeries? Dr. Meng said that he was not concerned about them. I would have preferred a more thorough explanation about what he thought they were and why he wasn't concerned. My mistake for not asking for further clarification.

    Couldn't ask for more

    I have had excellent care
    Aug 18, 2023
    I asked when I was next do for a cat scan and he asked "when did you have the last one?" He has all that info on my portal so why ask me? I've dealt with numerous Issues besides cancer in the last 2 years and have had Innumerable scans of all types for different Issues. I count on my provider to be on top of when I need a Ct Urogram. It turned out I was over-do and it should have been scheduled before this visit, which would have saved me lots of time and aggravation since I live almost 2 hours away.
    Jun 26, 2023
    There are no words to appropriately explain how wonderful the care Dr.Meng has provided me over the years. His expertise has been wonderful and spot on. He created a confidence in me through his expert care that eased the fear I felt with my diagnosis. I have seen Dr. Meng since 2008. He and his staff have always provided the highest level of care. I wish all doctors were like him with a staff to match.

    He is an awesome doctor.
