1 /5 steve long: After 8 years as Dr Elfars patient I called his office and told them I couldnt pee, they told me to take 2 flow max a day and see him in a month. 2 weeks later i ended up in the Hospital on dialysis in renal failure with a blocked prostate near death. A month later he performed a TURP on me and said i would never have a problem with my prostate again. 3 years later he used a camera to see that my prostate was just fine, a month later I ended up in the ICU for 9 days with a blocked prostate in renal failure on dialysis near death because the prostate had grown back. I had a second TURP performed by a different Urologist recently however my chronic kidney disease is still a serious issue and its possible i will have to live out my life on dialysis.
