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.

Dr. Gorbonos is the BEST!
Dr. Gorbonos' combines cutting edge clinical expertise with compassionate care. He truly listens and is willing to listen to concerns. It's rare to find someone who doesn't hurry you out the door or make you feel like you're bothering them. It is not an understatement to say that he is the reason that my cancer was eradicated and I've been enjoying many 'bonus' years.

Disappointed
After getting an MRI he ordered, I have tried contacting him several times to no avail waiting 3 weeks to get results and schedule a biopsy. I will find another urologist one with a sense of urgency and compassion.

Dr. Gorbonos and his team were exceptional in the treatment and care of my cancerous prostate. From performing the initial biopsy to it's eventual removal with state of the art equipment, Dr. Gorbonos was patient and thorough in discussing the diagnosis and describing the treatment options that were available to me. I am extremely confident in his professional expertise, and appreciate his sincere concern and calming demeanor, along with his wit, that he showed throughout the process. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Gorbonos to anyone seeking urological health care.

In December 2019, I had my yearly physical as always do. Dr. Asima Doriwala notified me that my PSA had elevated and I needed to make a appointment to see her. I was recommended to see Doctor Alex Gorbonos, I looked at his reviews before I went to see him, he had great reviews to say the least. He scheduled a new test to see if the numbers were the same. The test came back that I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. At age 67 I have never faced a moment like this before, but because Dr. Gorbonos he walk me through every steps of the way, because he offered difference options that was available to me. I decided to take the robotics option. The best choice for me. Surgery went very well without any complications: Thank you Dr Gorbonos, I feel truly blessed to have had you as my surgeon. Because I am a black man I like encourage all black men to get your yearly physical . The outcome might have been different. Again thank you Dr Gorbono, you are the best. ????

Dr. Gorbonos is an amazing doctor. I can't say enough about how he and the rest of his team took care my Bladder cancer. They performed a Radical Cystectomy with NeoBladder construction on Feb. 1, and I was home on Feb. 5. I've been back for two follow up appointments and have been seen early on both occasions. Dr. Gorbonos is easy to talk with, and explains the medical condition in a way that can be understood. Dr. Gorbonos along with Dr. Van Kuiken, and the rest of the team were AWESOME!

Dr. Gorbonos Did an excellent job on my kidney surgery it was a very complicated surgery. He used robotic surgery and saved my kidney, and ultimately saved my life. Other Dr.'s wanted to remove the whole kidney. Very happy to have found Dr Gorbonos. His follow up is just as incredible.

Dr. Gorbonos diagnosed my prostate cancer after I had an elevated PSA test. Dr. Gorbonos performed surgery in January 2014 at Loyola University Medical Center. The surgery went well. I have been going back for follow up visits every 6 months. I have been cancer free.

I had cancer on my kidney in spot that was very difficult to get to. There was a good chance that I would lose the entire kidney. Through Dr. Gorbonos' ample expertise, he was able to remove the cancer AND save the kidney. I couldn't be happier with my association with Dr. Gorbonos. He was thoughtful, considerate and caring. Highly skilled at his craft. My recovery was quick and relatively pain-free. There were no long waits in his office. I strongly recommend Dr. Gorbonos.
