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.

Super Knowledgeable, engaging Urologist
Dr. Karnes is so amazing! Absolute expert at complex bladder removal and creation of a neobladder! Of course everyone at Mayo Clinic is amazing!

We were referred to Dr. Karnes a little less than a year ago and could not be more thankful for the care he has provided for our family member. His care has been worth all the traveling and I couldn’t say one negative thing about our experiences with him.

Dr Karnes performed life saving surgery on me in June of 2019. My family and I will be forever grateful. My latest C-11 Pet Scan just came back clear. That is with no hormone therapy! Thank you to Dr Karnes and his very capable team.

I had a radical retropubic prostatectomy on November 17, 2016. Everything went well, no complication after the surgery and I recovered in the predicted time frame. Dr Jeffrey Kames was very professional and spent sufficient time with me before and after the surgery.
