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.

Indifferent, rushed, unresponsive
Dr. Caruso seemed like he was in a rush, he didn’t listen to anything that I told him, he performed a very routine examination, gave me some very vague instructions and some prescriptions, and then never communicated anything to me even after I called his office several times for guidance.

Dr Caruso seemed rush to end our visit as quickly as possible. I have an underlaying condition that causes a disability. He came in and didnt ask anything about why I was there, just shared he read my paperwork I filled out and wants me to stop all medicine for 7 weeks to see what happens. They will do bloodwork at that point in time and discuss ideas once the results are back. I shared I have done this before twice with other doctors and it did not yield the results they also hoped for. It also puts me in a poor state of health due since the medicine is needed. He got flustered when I asked what other treatment options we have, and said "in my professional opinion, this is what were doing". He wouldnt even explain the other possible treatment options. I am left very sad and disappointed. All I wanted was help...

Excellent provider, nurse Leah, and front desk staff are all friendly and competent. Dr Caruso has performed several procedures for me in the past several years always providing great outcomes and follow through.

Dr. Caruso has been seeing my father for many years. For the last 2 because of his age I have been taking him to see Dr Caruso. It's because of Dr Caruso and his Nurse Leah that my father lived to be 92. I believe he would have died a few years earlier if it hadn't been for these two wonderful professionals. My father had to go see Dr Caruso and Leah every month. They made our experiences relatively painless. The entire staff including the reception area are awesome.

Dr. Caruso is an extremely talented and qualifies Urologist. He performed a partial nephrectomy on my kidney with precision and Grace, reassuring mw the whole way since I'm a wuzzy during these matters. I would recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

Lack of patient contact when call was made to request an alternative prescription. Wait time in lobby and exam room was excessive. Appointment was terminated due to other appoint conflict.
