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.

Dr. Richard Long is one of the best urologists I've ever encountered, and I have gone through several over the past few years. I was experiencing increasing pain and urgency that was not properly diagnosed nor treated until I saw Dr. Long through a friend's referral. He was laser-focused on my descriptions and personal account of my pain. It was clear to me from the first appointment that he was intent upon finding the cause of my issues. Dr. Long ordered a complete lab and scheduled a biopsy of my bladder. He found cancer. I am a highly unlikely candidate for bladder cancer, which may be the reason that no other urologist investigated for cancer. He had me treated with immunotherapy, which has fewer side effects, rather than chemo. I am cancer-free and very grateful for his comprehensive care. I highly recommend Dr. Richard Long!

Dr long is extremely knowledgeable and is in my opinion an excellent surgeon. I have had two procedures with better than good results. I definitely would recommend him to all with urological issues. I had a bladder stone removal and a turp procedure done by Dr Long with terrific results. After finding prostate cancer from the turp procedure we discussed all options and decided on monitoring the cancers progress and after more than four years all is well. I respect his experience and will follow his guidance here on. I am 76 years old and feel he’s the best Dr. that I’ve worked with yet.

Excellent surgeon using robotic-assisted removal of tumor in kidney. Surgery was performed beyond expectations: Perfect precision- lesion removed in less than 15 minutes with no post-op complications and no kidney problems after 2 years. Recommend him without reservations.
