Dr. Sweet is awesome super doctor super caring super command of his discipline kind, always courteous and even great sense of humor we love this guy!
I highly recommend this center and particularly Dr. Sweet. I was lucky to be paired with Dr. Sweet and his team. I have gone through 2 successful ureteroscopies, stent placements, and stent removals, with several stones removed (up to 9mm). Through the process he and his team have been kind and take the time to listen to my anxieties and concerns about these difficult procedures. Dr. Sweet and his team make intentional effort for the process to feel safe and accepting, adding in thoughtful humor to lighten the process.
