Dr. Thomas Cangiano
Minimally Invasive Urological Surgeon, Florida Urology Associates, Florida Hospital Medical Group
I had a patient who had been to multiple urologists over several years with frequent infections. She had undergone quite a few tests and rounds of powerful antibiotics without a diagnosis and, still, the recurrent signs and symptoms of an infection persisted. Her quality of life had significantly diminished with pain and frustration. I knew something was not right and took a much closer look at her situation to investigate all possibilities. Thinking out of the box, I was able to discover and diagnose her unique condition. When I outlined, on video, exactly what was going on physically to cause her pain, she was greatly relieved, both to be understood and to understand. She subsequently underwent surgery to correct her situation and bring her back to happiness and health. Rethinking medicine—reducing the most complex concepts to their simplest forms—and finding real solutions for my patients is what makes my job worthwhile.
