The nurses in the operating room and the doctor were fantastic. I was taken to the operating room for surgery to place stents in both kidneys. I also had a bad kidney infection due to the back up of the urine in my body. My left kidney was the worse with a 13 and 15mm stones stuck in my urator. After a CT Scan and a MRI it showed stones in my left and right kidneys. I was examined by your great staff of doctors and nurses. I had a very good idea what it was, Kidney Stones.
