Patient Reviews
Sep 11, 2024
I was referred to Dr Urken by an upstate ENT physician who claimed Urken was best certified for procedures to remove a squamous cell lesion from my soft palate. I had already had surgery and radiation to remove an SCC lesion from my tonsil 3 years before.Found the doctor to be very knowledgeable, thorough and confident about the 16 hour surgery session, ( 5 different surgeries to accomplish goal). This was an extremely complex procedure involving my inner mouth, carotid artery in my neck, wrist in two locations along inner lower arm and grafts from my thigh.Dr Urken and his team were absolutely terrific, attentive and very reassuring. I progressed well and healed quickly. Only complaint was excessive pain poorly handled by an anti-opioid nurse at Mt. Sinai.
