Supporters of Dr. Casey Firlit, Ph.D, M.D.
Disabled children are once again slapped in the face. Dirty politics and inflated egos at St. Louis University Medical School extinguish the chance for a more productive life for hundreds of Spina Bifida, Myelomengiocele and Neurogenic bladder and bowel patients. A well known and respected Pediatric Urologist has been suspended from his position along with his surgical privileges. Who will speak for these children now that Dr. Firlit is gone? Will you? Let us know what you think! Please support Dr. Casey Firlit by using the list at the side of this page to contact those who can reinstate our doctor and our friend.

I recontacted Bob Davidson asking a few simple questions, about if we would be referred to another doctor? And when Dr. Firlits patients would be notified about him being gone...If we had not heard it through the grapevine we still would not know..We had two doctors appointments since his dismissal and we were not notified at either of them that Dr. firlit was no longer...You would think it could not be true but it is. When we checked in the girls at the front desk had a conversation about who to register us under I told them Firlit he is our Dr. they had a discussion among themselves about it and sd they were told to put everything under Palagiri now, but still noone told us anything..that was two and half weeks ago..we return last week and agian we put Dr Firlit as our Dr when we checked in (still not knowing he is no longer there) and again noone told us any different. Someone there should have let us know something.
Bob Davidsons response was short this time..thanks for the note but I can't tell you anything.
I know there must be tons of Dr. Firlits patients out there who don't even know what has happened..not just ones who haven't been to the office lately either.. we are proof of that..
I, too, have only heard it through the grapevine that this amazing doctor is gone. Imagine how I feel. Only 3 short months ago, my daughter, had a life-changing procedure done - by, you guessed it, Dr. Firlit. She went from a very physically dependent blind child with not much hope for independence to a 7 year old who can now go the bathroom almost completely on her own. Sure, another doctor maybe could have done the same thing for her. But they didn't. Dr. Firlit did. He's the one who made her day, by letting her have a little taste of chocolate after 4 days of liquid diet. He's the one who sat at her bedside and listened to her read braille. He's the one who's teaching new doctors to be great doctors. I obviously don't know the whole story - but I do know that we completely respect and admire Dr. Firlit and really hope he stays - for our sake and our daughter's.
Dr. Firlit is an outstanding doctor, he always goes above and beyond. I read about him listening to the little girl read to him in braille and I'm not at all suprised. That is the kind of things he does everyday. Dr. Firlit has been our urologist for years. What will we do without him?
