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.

Caring Physician
This was my first visit, Dr. Stimson made me feel very comfortable. He was very thorough, listened to my concerns, and my questions. He then asked me many questions, considered my responses and explained all the options available. He took the less invasive approach, which I appreciated and agreed with. Would definitely recommend him to my friends and family.

Great Team with prompt service!
I had a kidney stone on a Sunday afternoon and he wasn’t on call. Another Doctor there removed my stone early on Monday morning. I saw Dr Stimson on Friday to have the stent removed. We left for vacation on Sunday and I started having some UTI issues. Sent a message to the nurse and she talked to him and called me out a prescription for it. Really prompt in working towards getting me feeling better on my vacation! Thank you Dr Stimson and Team!

disappointed
He just came in talking about removing my kidney without even reading my chart. And when I told him I only had one kidney, he said wait a minute let me go back and read your chart! Like he should've read my chart before he came into the room.

My Life Saving Hero
At 65 years old, I am as others my age, beginning to pay more attention to my health and to whom I trust when asking questions and advice for a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Stimson is an unusual provider that not only offers understandable advice and care, but talks to me like a person, not just a patient. This is so rare in health care services in these times of quick answers and moving on to another patient that most doctors offer as adequate treatment. I owe him my life and his advice had changed my perspective about my worth and choices of what I put in my body. When one finds a rarity as Dr. Stimson who takes the extra few minutes to make one feel important and informed about their health needs, sharing a review is good karma to whomever reads it and the one who sends it. Are we all not responsible for each other’s lives? Moreover, if you or someone you love need an urologist, please share this review. I do not write this review without completely believing what it says. God Bless??

I was referred by my PCP due to kidney cancer. I absolutely appreciated the straight forward way Dr. Stimson talked with me and my husband about the options we had and what the best way to proceed. Dr. Stimson's team scheduled everything as quick as possible and my surgery went without a hitch. Everyone is impressed by my recovery time and the way my scars are healing/developing at this time. All my follow up appointments had already been scheduled before I even went into surgery. Response times from Dr. Stimson and his team are amazing and I recommend him for anything. I felt always taken care of and our questions have been answered. Never a delay in waiting to be called back or anything. Will definitely keep my care with him.

He was more involved with his own problems. I was having a male problem and he told me to live with it. I said cut it off since I only needed 1. He sent me to Mr. B and he figured it out in 5 minuets. Gave me anti-inflammatory meds ad cleared it up!
