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.

Outstanding! Service and caring above and beyond
I was seeking to have Aquablation procedure done and he just happened to be my closest option, lucky for me. I highly recommend his services, he is easy to communicate with, addresses your concerns, and involves you in the process. All this and a wonderful sense of humor. A1

Listen to your patients
I had an appointment with Dr. Chalians nurse practioner but instead ended up seeing Dr. Leaks nurse practices who I informed several times the surgical procedures I had had before going to see them and she kept over talking me acting like she didn't care. Then at the end of the visit starts to tell me what can be done for me which was the exact thing I had done. She acted surprised that I had it done already after the fact I told her I had the procedure done already. If she would have listened to me instead of trying to over talk me or not hear me the first time she would have known that. Then I waite a whole month in severe pain for a referral to be sent for possible surgery which now I am waiting another month for a consult In severe pain. Which who knows how long it will take now to get results on that.

I have been a patient of Dr. Chalian for over 8 years, during which time he has performed 2 surgeries on me, including one this week. I have continued regular office visits for checkups including diagnostic procedures by him and by his very capable staff and on each occasion he personally consulted with me and gave me as much time as I needed for my complete understanding . He is excellent in every aspect of his urology practice and is a magnificent surgeon, complemented as well by other doctors and hospital staff, so this review is not limited to or guided by only my opinion. Obviously, I give him my highest possible recommendation for his life saving and general service I have experienced and for which my family and I are eternally grateful.

I have been a patient since 2001 when I had prostate cancer surgery. I still have some cancer cells but we treat them and monitor results every six months. Dr. Chalian always has time for me and one great benefit for me is the ability to use text messages for short questions and he always responds when time permits. I use him as a sounding board for my other medical issues like Carcinoid cancer and any tests we are performing that he might need.

Dr Chalian used a laser procedure to relieve the symptoms I was experiencing due to an enlarged prostate. This was the most noticeable positive quality of life changing experience of my life.

Dr. Chalian was my grandson's doctor when he was just a toddler. He was kind, patient and explained what needed to be done, so when I needed an urologist I chose him. I am very satisfied with the care and treatment that I have received from him.
