In patients' words
"DR VALAER is the best urologist I have ever had! Super professional, well-informed, warm, considerate. She is a gem!"
— Healthgrades (Dr. Kyla Velaer)"It has been a challenge getting a new patient visit for my son. The wait time to be seen is about 1 year. He had been waiting for the appointment for 9 months, when the office called to cancel because the doctor was suddenly going on vacation."
— Yelp (Montage Medical Group)"Dr. Stauffer was very kind and considerate, even when delivering less then good news. He was thorough in explaining options and follow up. I would recommend this provider/office to other people."
