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.

Decided not to help from square one
It seemed like he made up his mind in to do nothing in the first few minutes of our meeting.I waited many weeks for a consult. He re-ran the same tests. Then he scheduled another expensive appointment just to tell me he would not help and that I should have gone to another doctor instead.

Zero stars. His web site advertises procedures he's not capable or willing to perform, presumably to cash in on the medical exam time before he sends you away. Though it could just be a neglect to bring the site up to date. Diagnostic and treatment knowledge leaves a lot to be desired. The way he follows up and responds to patient inquiries and requests (in-person too, but especially email and telephonic) is often puzzling and frustrating. This doctor does not seem to care about his practice, much less his patients, any more. I strongly suggest you stay away.

I had a prostate surgery for medium flow of urine on August 2015. After that I have had lot of complication, retrograde ejaculation,urine inconsistency, burning, itching and pain in the urethra and prostate. I was following up and complaining and doctor used to give me antibiotics. He gave me several antibiotics. But I did not get better. He did a cystoscopy again on June and said he could not pass the scope to bladder and does not know what is happening inside. I am having lot of problems now.
