I believe Naren Nimmagadda Is extremely knowledgeable. Of the five Urologists I've seen since be diagnosed with BPH some 20 years ago, the two Hopkins' urologists, [staff] and Nimmagadda are far and away the most knowledgeable. My difficulties with the post op HoLEP experience have to do more with my particular physiology than Dr. Nimmagadda's skills that I believe are outstanding.
