There’s nothing better than hearing about our patients’ great experiences – particularly when it comes directly from them! The “All in for You” campaign showcases patients telling their own stories and experiences at the Wynn Hospital and throughout MVHS services. If you’d like to share your own story, please email cmccann@mvhealthsystem.org.
David Peroni, patient at MVHS Orthopedic Group
“I had experienced back pain for years and decided it was time to do something about it. I searched around and asked my primary doctor for a recommendation, and he suggested I see Dr. Aymen Rashid.
I’m so glad he did, and I would recommend Dr. Rashid to anyone.
Dr. Rashid is so thorough and attentive. He asked a lot of questions and really listened to my answers. He is conscientious and compassionate, explaining everything to make sure I understood my options.
He’s the type of doctor that really cares about your health. After Dr. Rashid operated on my back, he followed up with me once I was home to make sure I was doing well.
Some doctors make you feel like you’re just a number. But Dr. Rashid makes you feel like it’s all about you.”
Philippe Andre, 62, patient of Upstate Urology at MVHS
“When I went in for a regular prostate screening and my PSA levels were elevated, I made an appointment with Dr. Bhat at Upstate Urology at MVHS. Dr. Bhat brought me in and repeated the PSA lab test. Again, my levels were elevated.
As a physician assistant, I understand the importance of early detection and early treatment. I also knew that Dr. Bhat is one of few urologists in the area utilizing robotic surgery, which is less invasive and allows for a faster recovery.
After Dr. Bhat performed the prostatectomy using robotic surgery to remove the cancer, my PSA levels returned to normal, I was back to work in a month and resumed all my normal activities just six weeks after the surgery.
The takeaway is this: Men between the ages of 45 and 75 need to schedule regular prostate screenings and you need to understand your PSA levels.
I am living proof that early detection can prevent something worse.”
