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 am contacting every person on the list to ask for answers. As the parent of a long term patient of Dr. Firlit, I am entitled to know what has happened. My son has been with Dr. Firlit four year and counting...we need him.

What's happening in urology today at Cardinal Glennon is so exciting. The man behind it all is Dr. Firlit. He is an artist in his field - creative, gifted, skillful. And to him a successful surgery is one that also improves the child's quality of life. How often do you find a doctor that is not only the master of his craft but also a great communicator? Children and their families respond immediately to his warmth, candor and humor. They know he really cares about them. Speak up loud and clear. Glennon cannot afford to lose him.
