Patient Reviews
Jul 25, 2021
Dr. Helfand is the best. I had two urologists, from a non-North Shore hospital, indicate that I was going to lose one of my kidneys due to blockage from kidney stones. Dr. Helfand called me to talk about my situation. I asked if he could see me. I was able to make an appointment quickly. After reviewing my scan DVD, Dr. Helfand told me that unless he can prove something scientifically, he would not be willing to make the prediction such as the other urologists. We scheduled a surgery. After 2 3/4 hours in surgery, Dr. Helfand removed the huge stone and other stones blocking my kidney. The kidney was saved and now has function. Dr. Helfand's beside manner is outstanding. He is down-to-earth, friendly, and highly skilled. I would trust my life with Dr. Helfand!
