Grateful patients

While undergoing tests for an unrelated matter, an MRI revealed a tumor on Harry’s kidney. He was referred to Dr. Shapiro, who Harry’s wife described as, “dedicated, thoughtful and compassionate,” adding that his bedside manner was both straightforward and filled with humor. Your support of Friends of Urology enables us to continue helping patients like Harry, providing access to compassionate care and innovative treatments.

Bill came to Upstate University Hospital and was treated by Dr. Dmitriy Nikolavsky, of the Department of Urology, who performed a procedure that re-established Bill’s ability to continue an active and full life.

“You have truly given me an enormous gift, and I want you to know that I appreciate you and your enormous talent,” Bill wrote in a tribute to Dr. Nikolavsky.
