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.

Urological Care
My visit was AWESOME. I've been to an Urologist prior to seeing Dr.Colon,I decided that I needed a second opinion, because I had a slightly elevated PSA reading. IM GLAD I DID! The prior doctor wanted to do BIOPSY,glad I declined, Dr.Colon decided that we do a less AGGRESSIVE treatment and I'm so happy he did. Very satisfied and I'm able to sleep at nights. The staffs were very welcoming,warn and pleasant. With Dr.Colon, I feel confident that he'll do what's right. Very caring, compassionate,explains diagnoses in simple layman's term. Can't say enough, HAPPY THAT I FOUND HIM, HES A BLESSING!!

I went with a friend to her appointment with Dr. Colon. I found him to be arrogant, uncommunicative and have a terrible bedside manner. He did not follow up with my friend after her surgery to see how she was doing. He did not give my friend her biopsy results (which were that she had cancer) for over three weeks because he was away on vacation. And when he did deliver the news it was done terribly. I would never wish the experience my friend had with Dr Colon on anyone. I also found the office staff to be rude and unhelpful. And when my friend finally went to a different doctor to be treated, they had to redo the surgery Dr. Colon performed because it was done incorrectly.

Although my first visit was ok, I decided to wait until the follow up visit to fully judge him. I must say, his treatment and advice fixed my bladder problem. “ he really hit the nail in the head with my condition!” I am very happy with him. Now I see why he is so busy! This doctor is a straight up shooter. Will continue to see him.

Came to see him after being dismissed by other doctors. He seemed to care and too care of my problem. Although I am not 100%, he definitely helped me and will continue to seek his advice.

My First visit was cordial. I choose Dr. Colon as as worked with previously at SUNY Downstate UHB where he performed the first robotic surgery in Brooklyn, NY. Years later he did my robotic surgery at the NY Methodist Hospital, Brooklyn campus. Now I feel wonderful, no complications. Thank you Dr. Colon

I don't have a benchmark of Urologists but he seemed very capable and had a good "bedside" manner. I don't feel the need to look elsewhere. I would recommend to others

He seemed competent but clearly the mandate is process patients as quickly as possible and he didn’t seem very interested in my situation. In addition to my co pay his group charged me a fee over what my insurance company paid.

I have seen quite a few doctors in my life time and Dr. Ivan Colon is one of the worst. He prescribed a certain med for me but there was a problem with my insurance coverage, neither he nor anyone in his office made an attempt to fix the problem or change my medication. He wouldn’t even respond to my emails. Save yourself some time and aggravation and do not go to this derelict, neglectful Dr.
