From “A Little Something There” to Adrenalectomy

By herms31 • October 3, 2016

Blood tests exposed my protein count had doubled in the past year so I was referred to a kidney specialist who identified, "a little something there" from an ultrasound and CT scan. With this news, Dr. Eddie Hu recommended I see Dr. Michael Yeh. It turns out I had a tumor on my adrenal gland which according to Dr. Yeh is not very common. After consultations with Dr. Yeh and an anesthesiologist surgery was scheduled. Dr. Yeh answered all my questions and explained the procedure and week-long post-op hospital stay. I felt like Dr. Yeh treated me with special care. He is a very nice guy. The whole process was organized and efficient, from phone calls and scheduling to surgery, hospital care and follow-up.Louie
