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.

Top urologist in Hickory!
Dr Broster performed surgery on me today at Frye Hospital in Hickory. I live in Boone, NC, and no physician in closer proximity would perform the surgery. I chose Dr Broster, and am very glad I did. He performed a most successful surgery. I could not be more pleased with him and the excellent outcome! He was very kind, knowledgeable, highly skilled & efficient!!

First Visit to Viewmont Urology
This was my first visit to a urologist. The staff at Viewmont Urology were very friendly and helpful. Dr. Broster made you feel very comfortable listening and answering any of my concerns. He was very knowledgeable about the symptoms I had. I would definitely request him if I need any further urological needs. When I got home I already had an email on the details and assessment of my visit.

Respectful and Capable Partner
Dr Broster did my TURP procedure a year ago. I was given a series of tests to determine the best treatment. At that point he discussed treatment options with me and my wife. He was capable and confident but not cocky. He answered all of our questions and even spoke to my wife via a phone when she was unable to join in the visit in person. I would certainly return to him again. The aftercare has been done well too.

My husband saw Dr Seth Broster twice and I met him too. He's smart, thorough, informative, outgoing and we both liked him and trusted him immensely!

Met with him during my stay in the hospital. He was condescending, rude, dismissive, and a complete know it all. I would absolutely not recommend him to anyone for their treatment or even a brief consult in the hospital. He is so incredibly rude and condescending. Makes me feel horrible as a patient. Never ever again. Do not pick a doctor who treats you like an incompetent idiot. He is one of them!
