Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

no sure if I ever think about going back
- They lack personnel, and they even have a sign trying to level the situation in the lobby.- they don't tell you upfront you will have a urine test when you go in the office.- the doctor will try to change the topic psychologically, like how's your Job, or family... just to void your health questions.- he will try to get you out of the office as he has a lot of patients to get to, it feels like a race

Conversation about Prostate enlargement
We talk about my prostate enlargement and things to do. I proposed to make a biopsy and he proposed to make a MRI and I was agreed with his explanation. The visit was very nice as usual I felt comfortable and smiles included.Great Doc and good team.

Good doctor with a bad staff
I made an appointment with Dr Hananel and he suggested a biopsy of my prostate, I asked for a day to think about the procedure. I call his office the next day to schedule the procedure but the nurse was not available, so I left a message, and I did the same for the next three days. After two weeks nobody from his office returned my calls and messages, so I have to schedule a appointment with another urologist and start the process again.

I really enjoyed my appointment with Dr Hananel.
While obviously current on the practice of medicine, Dr Hananel is easy to talk to, and takes the time to listen. I can’t imagine a better combination of attributes for a doctor, or a person. As an added benefit, he has a wonder sense of humor. At our first meeting, when I shook hands, I rolled his hand over and looked at it. With a funny look, he ask why. I told him I was checking the size of his knuckles. We both laughed at that. If you have a prostate you understand.

What stood out in my visit was the fact that I gave my insurance information before my appointment and it was to my surprise when I made it to the appointment that they didn’t accept my insurance. Which cost($250) The doctor was okay. But the staff needs training on knowing what insurance the facility accept.

Professional, showed concern for my problem.
I was taken back and seen on time for my appointment. Dr. Hananel explained what he felt was my problem. Unfortunately my insurance does not cover the test I need to have done. He did recommend a possible solution.

He does not listen
He said I had a stone - even did tests to prove it. I said I had no pain. He put me through tests and hospital procedure and there was none there. He did not even come to see me after. He told my husband. Would never recommend this dr. I feel like it was a money pull.
