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.

Top 5 star doctor. I am very lucky to have Dr. Chamie treated my kidney 5 years ago. Surgery and recovery were very smooth. Thank you Dr Chamie.

Top Doctor!
Dr. Chamie is great doctor. I was diagnosed with papillary bladder cancer. Dr Chamie performed the turbt surgery , followup returbt surgery , and then oversaw the administering of bcg therapy. Today I am one year NED, and I am certain that Dr Chamie’s surgeon skills were instrumental in helping minimize the likelihood of recurrence. He is top in his field, and I am grateful that he is my physician.

I had prostate surgery @UCLA 1.5 months ago. Dr Chamie and his residents and staff were beyond efficient and meticulous. Each and all... residents and staff were as close to perfection as is humanly possible. Friendly, knowledgeable, and boundlessly caring. It's almost hard to find higher words of praise. These guys are the very BEST (ever)... TSMcGee, MD

Dr Chamie is my family's hero! He successfully removed the bladder, prostate, and lymphs on my paraplegic father with Multiple Sclerosis and Epilepsy. My father is doing better every day and we are so grateful to have found Dr. Chamie to take care of him!

One of the best and most important decisions I ever made was choosing Dr Chamie to be my urologist and surgeon. I had prostate cancer. He performed a full prostatectomy on me. Everything went fantastically. He is simply an amazing doc and also a great person.

I recently had a cancer tumor removed from my kidney by Dr. Chamie. I was being followed by another urologist for a prior cancer event 20 earlier. My current doctor recommended Dr. Chamie for the procedure relating that he was a world class surgeon and perfect for my needs. Due to my prior cancer procedures I was concerned and very nervous. After my first meeting with Dr. Chamie my anxiety level was greatly diminished by his calm, caring and thorough discussion of my options and possible out

I saw several Doctors to go over treatment options. After extensive research of top doctors and meeting Dr. Chamie in person I decided to use him for my surgery. This was partly due to his calming bedside manner and his vast experience with surgery. I could not be happier with the outcome. After the 5+ hour surgery, he removed 100% of the cancer and the side effects were minimal. It is also unusual to have a surgeon of his caliber be a nice and humble man as well.

I researched many doctors for my prostate surgery. After talking to Dr. Chamie and learning more about the quantity and quality of surgery he performed I felt comfortable proceeding. My case was difficult and the surgery took over 5 hours. I am 1 week post-op and found out that I am cancer free. I would recommend him for his amazing surgery skills and calm and confident bedside manner.

Dr. Chamie has extraordinary bedside manners, along with his skill and knowledge, makes him an excellent doctor. Dr. Chamie was the third urologist I was a patient of over a five year period that I was monitoring my prostate cancer and exploring my options. After a couple visits I knew he was the guy I wanted to move forward with. Now that I have had the surgery and follow up visits I feel very lucky to have him on my side.
