Dr. Fossum has been my doctor for years. He has treated me for multiple kidney stones over the years. Recently he preformed a minor bladder surgery for me, for which I consider a miracle for me. He is very kind and compassionate.

I've been a patient of Dr. Fossum's for more years than I like to admit. At least 10+ at this point. I find that he is very knowledgeable. If I have questions, he listens to my concerns and provides feedback. He does not throw medical degrees at me if I have a question or want a deeper explanation. He is easy to understand, and doesn't rapid fire his response. I would highly recommend.

Had a kidney stone and this man went overboard to help me with the pain by giving me care and a shot at the right time. He is so busy because he is so good.

1+ hours of Dr Fossum trying to get down his urethra & dilate the collapsed section, he ended up puncturing the side, then ended procedure. Uncle laid on the table for 30mins waiting for catheter from the across the street emergency hospital. (they didn't have one at the center?) Dr. Fossum did not follow Primary Doctor's request of anesthesia for an hour or less. Once catheter was inserted he was sent to the recovery area. Uncle crashed, he couldn’t breathe. Not given oxygen, it took a while to get the office to contact the hospital across the street. Brian Meeks finally called the hospital. Staff collected him, gave him oxygen found his lungs were filling with saline, Dr. Fossum & nurse pumped in 4+ bottles of saline during procedure. Emergency room pulled out 4000ml of fluid= 1.5 gallons of saline from his lungs. Uncle contracted Pneumonia. In short, the original procedure was botched and 3 additional problems arose. Projected 6months with a catheter bag damaged vocal chords (possible tracheotomy) and damaged Lungs.
