Hi Pamela, I assume Dr. New introduced you to the chief pediatric urologist up at Cornell, Dix Poppas? We met with him before our daughter's surgery and he has the most amazing bedside manner I've seen in any surgeon--very warm, patient, and intelligent. He's also been working with a close friend of ours on some very complex reconstructive surgery her daugher requires. I'd highly recommend meeting Dix. If you need any other references in New York, we've spoken to several pediatric urologists here--just email me for details. Best, Dirk
