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.

Wonderful Doctor
I am very pleased with my entire experience with Dr. Critchlow. He explained things thoroughly and made the surgery easy even though I was very anxious. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Very Informative
He explained what he did the best and then mentioned alternatives and other providers who would do those procedures. This BPH is more complex then it seems on the surface. He explained how and why in language a lay man such as myself could understand.

Recent Holep Prostate Surgery
I met with Dr Critchlow several times. In every interaction he made sure all of my questions were thoroughly answered. During the initial consultation we discussed my candidacy for a prostate procedure, my history and previous tests. I was a candidate for a couple procedures. But before going into details about those, he spent time explaining why I wasn't a candidate for others. He then focused on the pros and cons of which were right for me. His knowledge and willingness to spend the time discussing things really put me at ease. There were a few tests he performed to make determinations for himself. In early June, Dr Critchlow performed a Holep Prostate surgery on me. It went very smoothly and results have been excellent. 3 weeks after the surgery, I had a follow up with Dr Critchlow. Once again, through our discussion he provided me with details of what he found and wanted to know my experiences after the surgery. Dr Critchlow is an exceptional surgeon and I highly recommend him!

Holep procedure
Highly recommend Dr. Critchlow for anyone needing this procedure done. I am very happy with the results. I can now go to the bathroom again like I did in my 20's after suffering for several years with an enlarge prostrate. I wish I would have done this a lot sooner. My PSA was 9.3 before surgery it's now 0.7 after procedure.
