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.

Great effort to determine the cause of my condition and implemented the necessary treatment.

Was going to let my hubby die...said his cancer was inoperable. Well, we went elsewhere, it was operable, and he lived another 7 years.

We've been trying to get pregnant for years and my husband had two irregular seman analyses. Dr. Cummings saw us in his regular office (like the room with his desk) he had his dog in the office as well. He did a physical exam. of my husband (no gloves!), turned to me and said "you will never be able to get pregnant). He had no answers for us and said further testing would be pointless. My husband was recently tested again and everything came back normal. Thank God we didn’t take his word for it.

Left Dr. Cummings office feeling unpleased. I felt like he did not take my health issues seriously as he asked me to explain my symptoms but rushed me through my explanations. Not a big deal if this wasn't my first time inside his office but our conversation had lasted less than 2 mins. His staff drew blood and I was out the door. I Was scheduled another appoint next month will see how it goes. If I knew what I knew now I would of planned to go else where maybe my next visit Will be better

He is wonderful. He helped me with my bladder issues I have had all my life. He knows what he is doing and i really like how honest he is with procedures. He don't string things out and waste money and time.

He refused to perform my vasectomy on the day of the surgery and then refused me as a patient. He asked what medications I was on. I told the truth and said the only meds I'm on are Xanax and antidepressants. From that point on he refused to do the surgery and treated me like a junkie. Said he doesn't do surgery on drug users, despite that I have a valid prescription. He's rude and vulgar, often times not using proper names for various anatomies and bodily functions. Go somewhere else.

He is an awful man. He his very crude and money hungry. My husband went in with testosterone issues, they did a bladder ultrasound, which insurance will not cover! He won't prescribe testosterone, he wants to bring you in every 2 weeks to a month for injections, and bills for a full office call each time. He never rechecked levels either. We had been making monthly payments on our bill, when we switched to a different urologist, they turned us into collection!He is just awful.Would not recommend

Dr. Cummings did my vasectomy. He gets you in. Tells you what you need to know and gets the job done. I really appreciated his bedside talk. He is a good guy. Do what Doc says to do. I heard a lot of horror stories about recovery going into it. I did what Doc said and had no real issues. Never took a single pain medication either. Thank you Dr. Cummings for turning what I thought would be an unpleasant experience into a good one!
