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.

The best surgeon I have ever dealt with. Tells you the way it is but does not talk down to you, talks with you.

Excellent Physician
Exceeded all my expectation with respect to treating my prostate cancer. Answered all my questions after I was diagnosed with respect to clinical implications and in explaining the benefits and risks associated with all my options. Successfully removed my prostate via a radical laproscopic prostatectomy. Provided professional support with his PAs and NPs before and after surgery. I am in remission with no indicators that there is any disease present. I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Ramsey if you have urological medical issues.

Office is Impossible to Deal with
I have never met Dr. Ramsey, but the office is impossible to deal with. The third time I called,I spoke with some who barely spoke English. After 15 minutes, that person asked me to hold on for a minute, I was on hold for 43 minutes and the got disconnected. From there it went from bad to worse. The wrong medicine was prescribed 3 different times. I have cancelled the appointment with Dr. Ramsey because I do not trust the Practice at all.

Used equipment that was broken. So had wait with spacer in bottom until he returned & took biopsy. I was hurt for 3 wks. Both my wife & I spoke with billing dept. Got cpt codes and they told us it would cost $713.00 & we asked what all it cover & is that all I owed. They said yes .have it all on recording. We called insurance about cpt codes & insurance gave us pring that match what Tn urology billing price that I had to pay before they would do surgery. Now TN urology billing has raised prices after the surgery was done to bill me more money when they gave me a price and said thats all I owe. Surprised billing. I have it on recording from insurance & TN billing. Get it in clear writing before surgery not just receipts. I am canceling return appt. Hate to be straight out lied to and doctor should check equipment before using making the whole process more painful and embarrassing.

He may be a good surgeon, but when I chose Proton Therapy for my prostate cancer treatment he was very unprofessional and actually told me I was in denial! Unbelievable! I can’t believe a doctor would say that to a patient recently diagnosed with cancer. I was warned by a friend not to go to him, but went on recommendation of family doctor anyway, big mistake.

Dr. Ramsey preformed prostate surgery on me in July 2015. He completed my surgery in less than and hour and I've had nothing but great results since. My PSA tests have continued to be 0.00 everytime! I highly recommend Dr. Ramsey to anyone considering treatment for prostate cancer.

Dr. Ramsey performed robotic surgery to remove my prostate (cancer) this Monday. While the procedure was more difficult due to prior hernia surgeries (mesh and scar tissue), he removed the prostate and 3 days later, I'm feeling fine. He was the 2nd Dr. I had consulted with and he was by far the most informative as to options, expected recovery, etc. He is very personable as well as professional. He actually personally called me the day after and gave me good news about pathology results. Wow!

Thorough in his questioning, examinations, diagnosis, and advising. Evidently proficient in his prostate surgery considering my result. Dr. Ramsey considers the whole person in advising surgery. My physician advised against having prostate surgery considering my age, stage of cancer and cost/benefit. Dr. Ramsey strongly disagreed considering my health, attitude, and aging well. Now beginning my 5th year following surgery and my PSA, taken this week, is 0.00. Dr. Ramsey is the best.

Dr. Ramsey is completely professional yet has a wonderful "bedside manner". He successfully performed a surgery which brought my husband to cancer free status. There were uncharted hurdles to overcome in this particular surgery and Dr Ramsey forged ahead and the surgery was a complete success. Dr. Ramsey is in my opinion the best urologist in Knoxville!
