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.

Stay away from this guy
The Greenlight laser procedure this guy did on me took me from having a good, stable sex life to complete impotence. I surely should have sued this guy. I reviewed the procedure thoroughly and it should not have suffered the consequences that I did. I question his competency.

Excellent expertise!
I feel I am very lucky that Dr. Arett operated on me. From the first visit I realized how intelligent, knowledgeable, honest and friendly he is. His follow up was extremely professional, helpful and supportive! I wish him well and hope he lives to be a centenarian!

Dr. Arett took care of my grandfather when he was having recurrent UTI’s. He quickly identified the problem and was able to fix the problem with surgery. This was a year ago and he has had no problems since.

I had an excellent experience with Dr Arett. He identified my medical issue quickly and scheduled my surgery as soon as possible to resolve the issue. He was patient with my questions and explained every step in the process. He took the time to give me a complete overview of what my condition was and possible outcomes. I felt confident that I was in good hands and was very fortunate to have you him as my doctor.

Was unable to talk to Dr. when in extreme pain and discomfort. Don't know if it was staff indifference or Dr. to busy to respond. An emergency room visit was required with a procedure to relieve the pain. Dr. staff called 3 days later.. I have found a different Dr.

He took the time to explain the prostate problems; he was thorough and answered every question; the biopsy went smoothly and the outcome was great. Everything one could ask for. Very happy with his excellent care. We saw him at the Barnes West County Hospital which was run very efficiently with wonderful caring staff working there. It was very clean, too.

Dr. Arett is one the very polite and professional doctor I ever met. He explains all the medical conditions in detail and he will not scare you away. He is very friendly, has good patience to discuss all the lab reports. He answers all your questions and not in a hurry. He explains the pros and cons of the prescription. And the wait time is really less like 10-15mins. I have seen doctors who made me wait >45mins. Overall I am very happy with the visit and the treatment I got.
