Meet UVA Health Urologists

We submit Henry 7 our short questions to get to know him better.

1. What is the most inspiring and forming your approach to patient care?

My personal experience with a health care system greatly affects the way I practice medicine. Only things that happened to my family members, the way the doctor interacts with them, and how I feel. I really like to think about patients as family and what I can do to make their experience better.

2. What is your favorite part of your job?

Have satisfied patients. Very useful when we provide treatment or complete surgical procedures and patients are very happy with the results.

3. What is your biggest fear as a patient?

Leaving my feelings had been a waste of time in the sense that I went to the doctor for a problem but did not feel like I got a satisfying answer. And it goes into the way I think about treating my own patient. I tried to avoid that feeling for them.

4. What do you do to get rid of stress?

I like to spend time with my family – my wife, and my two -year -old son, and our dog. I enjoy running to exercise and I like playing guitar. My family also likes to climb.

5. Dogs or cats?

We have each of them, so I’m quite divided.

6. The last film you watch? Thumb up or down?

Alien: Romulus – thumb up.

7. The best advice you have ever heard of?

The easiest thing you can always do well is to appear on time. I think it is translated into many different things in life, but making sure you are in the place you need when you have to be there always makes you go with your right foot.
