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.

"Not much going on upstairs at SLU these days!"


I am a patient of Dr. Firlit's. I was very horrified when I heard what happened with Dr. Firlit. He has always been very compassionate and loving. He has also been the only one that was able to figure out bladder. Since he has been there I have stayed dry during the day and foley free at night. I miss you Dr. Firlit and I want you back.

I can't believe that they would even dare think of removing him. Everytime we got and see him he makes us feel like we are the only ones he ever sees. He treats my daughter just like you would your own child. I've never had a doctor like that. He's special, wonderful and the only doctor I want my child to be treated by. No matter where he goes we will follow. All I have to say is it will be their loss and a loss to any who stay with SLU. He is our doctor and remain our doctor..no matter where he goes.
