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.

Doctor is Rude and dishonest
Arrived on time for my appointment and had to wait 2 hours in the waiting room. Doctor spent only 5 minutes with me in the exam room. The visit was rushed. He did not share a diagnosis with me. He just prescribed medication without any real explanation. I felt rushed and disappointed. No apology for the long wait time. I will not see him again.

Thoroughly Professional
I have gone to Dr Te for over 20 years to take care of BPH and other urological issues. He is thorough, dedicated and wonderfully able to clearly explain how he plans to treat various conditions. And he has been successful in every instance.

Dr. Te is extremely thorough and methodical in evaluating BPH treatment options. He is knowledgeable and experienced in ALL of the available options, both non-surgical and surgical, and thus, is well-positioned to determine the best course of treatment.

First time appointment...impressed with Dr. Te, but very put out that I had to wait two hours after my scheduled visit, particularly with no explanation and no apology. Borders on arrogance but I indicated that I'll be back next year, and I shall hope for a significant improvement in respecting a patient's time.

Thorough and responsive
Doc was very thorough, answered questions, provided alternative therapies. Staff very comfortable and concern for privacy. A bit long wait from check-in to seeing nurse or dr, but acceptable. Office clean and comfortable too.

Excellent clinical and communication skills.
Dr. Te performed laser prostate surgery and my symptoms are now non existent. He is caring, detail oriented and is the top urologist in NYC. My previous urologist performed the wrong surgery and I had major complications. Dr. Te rescued me.

Outstanding Urologist for BPH issues
I went to Dr. Te to address the best approach for dealing with BPH issues. He has extensive experience in all available procedures as well as others that are in investigational stages. Thus, he is not committed to any one approach over others. Instead, he determines, based on the patient's anatomy and other considerations, which approach would be optimal for the patient. In my case, he thinks a medically based solution has a good chance of working without any surgical procedure. His diagnosis was extremely thorough with equipment I have not seen in any other urology office. I am confident that I am in the care of an extremely knowledgeable, experienced and thorough urologist with extensive knowledge about BPH.

My Checkup Visit with Dr. Te
I am always relaxed about my treatments and or checkups with Dr. Te, who was recommended to me by my daughter for my prostrate surgery. He is extremely qualified in his field and very reliable. He takes his time to answer my medical questions, and I leave his office with much less worries about my health. I will recommend him to anyone at any time.
