I am an old-school nurse of more than 44 years of experience. My husband learned he was in need of a Urologist in July 2017 and we began researching providers. We saw that Dr. Prendergast seemed to be a skilled and esteemed surgeon. We were not put off by the negative comments about his bedside manner in lieu of his skills as a surgeon. We decided to give him a chance. We found that his no-nonsense, bottom line manner of presenting test results and options enabled us to consider all potential outcomes with confidence and security. Too often, I've seen physicians fail to provide the bottom line information in effort to spare the patient emotional discomfort. That was NOT what we wanted or needed! We are now five months post-op and are still happy with the care and follow up. If you want skilled hands, factual explanations and clear choices from a urologist, Neal Prendergast will suit you very well!
