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.

Didn't care if I was there or not
I was examined to have a vasectomy in 2023, I cancelled the appointment due to the process being over complicated with multiple locations and additional fees and Dr. Trainer's overall manner was dismissive and acted as if he didn't care to have me as a patient.

Dr. Trainer is very kind and answers all questions in detail. He is very thorough and put me at ease with his confident demeanor. He corrected a bad surgery I had in Florida to remove a kidney stone.

Very little waiting. Dr. Trainer was low-key, very professional, thorough, and communicated well. Unlike the urologist I visited previously, he did not recommend a surgical solution to the problem I am experiencing until/unless the problem gets worse.

My granddaughter had several appointments with Dr Trainer for reoccurring UTIs, and my family and I ,most assuredly, will not return for a third visit. His bedside manner is nonexistent, and if you need any clarification on a procedure or diagnosis, good luck getting it. His manner of speaking and display of body language suggested that he didn’t have any time in his busy day to spend with us.

Consult for a vasectomy cost me $325 for maybe 5 minutes in the room having a very disinterested Dr. Trainer go through his standard spiel. I'm not one who needs or even wants a lot of bedside manner from my doctors, but that is an absolutely ridiculous amount of money for a nothing appointment which made me feel like I was more of an annoyance than a patient.
