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.

life saving Dr. Confer on my frist was very professional at his profession.and took care of need quickly.Then he noticed a spot under my eye and told me he thought it could cancer and i could lose my eye maybe even my life if i didn't get it looked at.He was right it was cancer and i was close to losing my eye and very well could have lost my life as well.It turned to be a rushed major surgery after dermatologist looked at me.I will say Dr.Confer saved my life.

Dr. Confer saved my son’s life 27 years ago and Dr. Confer still remembers my son and his diagnosis after all these years! We have been back to visit him several times to thank him over and over at each milestone of my son’s life...18th birthday, high school graduation, college graduation, wedding, and now hopefully we can visit him to see my son’s new baby soon. He has been the best and kindest doctor with much professionalism and knowledge.

Even though my wait time was long, it was greatly appreciated. I was discussing a diagnosis of Renal Cell Carcinoma and had several questions to ask. Dr. Confer saw all his regular patients before seeing me so that he could take all the time I needed. We spent at least an hour or more in discussion, answering, and making plans for my care. Time did not mean anything to me that day - my care did!!! Dr. Confer got an A++ from me that day.

Dr Confer is really a great urologist actually the best I have seen. He is compassionate and thorough.Dr Confer has a sense of humor too, he shows himself as a friend you want to and can talk to. I’ve been to 8 urologists in the 22 years I’ve suffered with kidney stones and Dr. Confer is the best I’ve seen.

Excellent doctor. Easy to talk too, takes time with his patients. Only minor complaint is the nurse call back time. Sometimes it’ll be a few days for the nurse to call you back.

Recently got a vasectomy done by Dr. Confer. He was great with explaining the procedure, answering all of my questions, and the procedure went great. Virtually no pain or swelling and was back on my feet fully in a few days. Also got shock wave therapy last year for a large kidney stone I had, again, everything went great. I would highly recommend him for any urology needs.

Dr.Confer has performed urologic surgeries on 2 of our sons and has been outstanding. He's great with kids and puts parents at ease. We appreciated a follow up phone call the evening after surgery that he made to check in, making sure our son was doing well, and answered a few follow up questions that we had. I highly recommend his care.
