For procedures that require a higher level of technology (such as robotics), the surgery will be scheduled at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. In either scenario, Drs. Avant or Miller will follow the patient throughout their care.
Dr. Orvis says, “I am so pleased to have skilled and experienced Mayo Clinic urologists providing care to patients of our region. Having served the urology needs of our area for so many years, it gives me great comfort to transition the practice to such capable surgeons. They will see patients in Decorah and in Rochester, if needed, so it is the best of both worlds for our patients.”
