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.

My daughter has been a patient of Dr Kirsch/Smith/Scherz (all of whose names I've seen on many bills) for 6 years and we have never seen any of them in person. The nurses, Kristin Wellman and Shannon Suarez are wonderful, but the lack of communication is frustrating. For example, one time we went in for a check-up and they took my daughter's urine just in case. Then I get a call from a pharmacy in another part of town that I've never used saying there was a prescription for her ready. I thought it was a mistake, but after another couple tries I returned the call to the pharmacy to find out my daughter had yet another UTI and no one at GA Urology called to tell me, let alone asked which pharmacy to send it to. My daughter has only one fully working kidney so every UTI is pertinent. This is one of may instances where the communication fell through. Their billing is also confusing, I am guessing this is intentional and the figures change on each new mailing. I would not recommend.

Terrible time of waiting even you have apt, but when he come , he not spend time with patient , he is rushing in and out in second your question and concern ever get an answer. Because I trust on other review but unbelievable that other reviews him more then one star I really want why and how? Please write the review honest , I am very upset that he rushing surgery for my daughter , we been told that surgery about two hours but he get it done no more than (45) minutes, when he call us up he already in his suite and he rushing us, I ask him why the surgery when so quick than we were told, he say yes everything when good, then he couldn’t let us have any questions about our daughter , he say I have a dinner to go and he rush out, when he speak with us just ask the hall way of cafeteria , when we walk to recovering room to see our daughter she not even waking up yet!!! After the surgery my daughter when home with an infection has to admit to ER 3 time after that terrible Thank you TT

Dr. Kirsch completely botched a combination Mitrofanoff and MACE procedure that he did on me. The surgical sites became severely infected and I have not been able to use either one. Especially in regards to the MACE procedure, his ineptitude has made my life more difficult than it needs to be. He is also the most pompous, condescending individual with whom I've ever had the displeasure of encountering. Now that I'm out of college. I'm going to Johns Hopkins for a revision. Run from this guy.

Our pediatrician recommended Dr. Kirsch, I will forever follow her recommendations from here on. He cares about your child's condition and explains it clearly, what more can a parent ask for.

Dr Kirsch was very kind and gentle with our newborn son. His demeanor and bedside manner was extremely caring. He didn't rush us, and he answered all of our questions in great detail. I would highly recommend him to any parents in need of a Urologist for their child.

I was so happy when we learned our referral was with Dr. Kirsch, I did my research and was so impressed with his resume and achievements. I am confident in my son's care in the future with Dr. kitsch and his practice looking out for him!
