5.0 star star star star starWonderful doctor. A pleasure to deal with. Explains everything and answers all questions. I never feel rushed or feel as though I am a bother. Dr. Meeks is warm but professional. His expertise in this field is obvious and explains current as well as possible future treatments. It has been a long time since I have felt so comfortable under a doctor's care but have renewed faith in the medical profession because of him and those that work with him.

5.0 star star star star starHe is extremely thorough and compassionate. He diagnosed and performed the surgeries to remove cancer in my kidney and bladder. My neo-bladder is now seven years old and I am cancer free. Today Dr. Meeks told me I don’t have to return for follow up visits. I am cured. I will miss him but will never forget him!

5.0 star star star star starDr. Meeks put my husband and I at ease immediately… It his expertise on the area of our concern was impressive. He covered the background of the problem, the treatments available wire, white wire. Why or why not they , worked & his his suggestions, ,on what Avenue to take. He also had a suggestion on the next step to take and who to take it with. I thought he had mentioned he was going to contact the doctor. He wanted me to see but when I called the next day and not been notified yet. Which made a little bit longer to get into see him. When I had a question, that was sent to his portal, answered immediately.

5.0 star star star star starI can't evaluate Dr. Meeks from the standpoint of someone with considerable medical knowledge in the specialty. From a layman's point of view, he appears knowledgeable and competent and he has discussed matters with me without rushing me.
