Dr Dhere is one of the very best health care providers I've ever had. The other is also at Emory. Dr Dhere is very smart, competent, thinks outside the box, works with my other providers at Emory and he even went out of his way to get me a much needed Urology follow up. I can't say enough good about Dr Dhere.

My procedure was the installation of fiduciary seeds in the prostate. Would have liked a short follow up talk afterward just to assure me that the procedure results went well. I wasn't told that so I assumed it did.
