Patient Comments

[...] I left the visit after feeling rushed out and not knowing if I will ever know what to do to stop my pains. I will get a 2nd opinion hopefully

I liked everything about this doctor and his staff.

Provider disappeared when I went to bring my wife in for wrap-up part of visit, had to be tracked down by a nurse. [...] But core exam and advice seemed to be appropriate and well done.

Aug 19, 2024

Because I was feeling much better [...] MD Interrupted pt while trying to give additional Information. Gave an impression that this appointment was waste of time for him and pt. Even though pt very ill 5-4 weeks prior to this appt and PCP had difficultly with dx [...] PCP searching for reason why this occurred as pt never experienced this before.[...]

This was the best provider seen in a month filled with providers and hospitalizations. The most complete and caring quality of care (caught issues missed by other providers) and went out of the way to ensure quality of care going forward.

Terrible bedside manner. Interrupted. Brushed off questions I asked. Repeatedly looking at his watch. No compassion in explaining test results that were concerning.

The urologist did not inform me of the results of his examination or of any action needed for some urination issues which I indicated on the questionnaire I filled out beforehand. This was the last time I see him because he's retiring. Apparently, I am in good condition, which is encouraging. He did ask if I had any questions, and I could have asked him at this point about the results of my exam.
