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.

The worst
One of the worst medical practices that I have ever been too. Not only was the staff extremely rude, there was no communication at all I was left to find things out on my own. When I would call the nurses to find information they would say stuff like you saw the results of your Ct scan so you should know that you need surgery? Like what!? I was also scheduled for a a surgery and then was told five days before my appointment that I need to pay a huge lump some of money for them to even preform. I honestly wouldn’t trust them and they really do not care about your well being. They will also just hang up on you, I’ve had the nurse call me and then when I would try ask a question she would just hang up. If you are really that short staffed and you have to treat your patients like this then maybe don’t bring on so many patients. After telling them I couldn’t pay for surgery and had to cancel, they called my mom to confirm that I was cancelling my 4000 dollar one hour surgery. Im 28 years

Didn't get a visit. Was referred to them by primary care physician, waited a week to get a call, did, was told doctor needed to review referral, then got a call after another week and was told they don't contract with the very large insurer I have. So, their front office, having the information up front, could have, ought to have, dealt with me at the outset so I could have moved on to finding the appropriately contracted professional. Caveat Emptor with this organization.

This rating has nothing to do with the doctor, but the staff. I was referred to this doctor by my PCP. I have called several times & have left several messages to ask if they have received my referral. This has been going on for almost two weeks & I still haven’t heard from this doctor’s office. I quit!!!!!! I have obtained another doctor. It’s very clear that this doctor & staff doesn’t care about their patients or any new patients.

Ignored a continuous problem of bleeding a bood clots, even after a year and a half after a TURP. I have since visited another urologist who stated the TURP procedure was incomplete and the bleeding was from my enlarged prostate. New urologist stated he will clean the prostate out and give me a better stream. I am scheduled for another TURP surgery 2/16/18.
