One star One star One star Empty star Empty star	06/21/2024	Dr. Lay did a good job with my surgery, except that at the end I had only one functional kidney. He showed little interest in treating my repeated ongoing complaints. In his opinion, all my urological issues were caused by diabetes, so not his problem and not worth treating. I am completely unsatisfied with this.
