Urology Associates of Southeastern NC is a five physician group in Wilmington, North Carolina

The group is a collection of progressive, board-certified urologists, well trained in their specialty, and well practiced in their skills.  Working in a seaside town that is part resort, part business hub, and part historical city, the urologists in UASENC provide tertiary care for much of the southeastern part of NC and the northeastern part of South Carolina.  Not surprisingly, they are always looking for that extra edge that makes their practice and their patient care better.  And that is where Neuisys and CT scanning come in.

“This CT project with Neuisys has rejuvenated my enthusiasm for practicing urology again,"says Dr. John Lovett of Urology Associates.

If you think that is a solicited advertisement, consider the following:

Dr. Lovett and his partners were about to purchase a used GE CT scanner when Neuisys contacted them.  After an educational process about the down side of used equipment and the upside of the Neuisys Advantage, Dr. Lovett and his partners Drs. Nichols, Russell and Whitesides decided that they were about to make a big mistake.  As a consequence, they elected to work with Neuisys and put a newly FDA approved NeuViz Dual in their office.  Urology Associate’s NeuViz was the first installed in the US after its FDA approval.

"Everything that Neuisys told us has turned out to be true.  Although we only had a small space of 285 square feet available to use for the scanner, Neuisys was able to fit its Neusoft product designed for the office environment into our space.  The image quality has been great, and Neuisys service has been thorough and timely.”  Dr. Lovett continues, “But the real joy of having a state of the art CT scanner in our office is the convenience for our patients and the immediate clinical feedback we are able to give them about their urological disease.  They are worried, naturally, about what these studies will find, and our ability to give them immediate impressions and show them images on the spot gives them the comfort of knowing much sooner."

But what about Lovett’s statement about the joy of practice?  John concludes, “Today in Urology we are bombarded by negatives.  Reimbursement declines, medical malpractice threats, overhead increases, insurance hassles, and government controls all contribute to make the practice of medicine a stressful profession with a declining return for our efforts to help patients.  We are always reacting in a defensive posture to what someone else is trying to do to us.  For once, we took a proactive stance and went out and got Neuisys to help us get the NeuViz Dual in here.  It has been rewarding making it happen.  Urology Associates of Southeastern NC and its patients have all benefited.  And I am having fun practicing medicine again.”
