Why Patients Choose Riverstone Urology

Using Online Information Wisely

When You Read Health Information Online:

  • Look for the organization behind the page, and prefer medical or academic groups
  • Check the date to see when content was last updated
  • Bring questions and printouts to your visit so Dr. Libby can explain how the information applies to you
Health websites can guide good questions, but they cannot examine you, review your full history, or replace a personal treatment plan.

Questions About These Resources

If you have questions after reading any of these sites, or you find an article that worries you, bring it to your appointment or mention it when you schedule.

Dr. Libby and the Riverstone Urology team will help you sort out which information fits your situation and which parts do not apply, so you can feel informed without feeling overwhelmed.
