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.

Excellent Urology Specialist
Dr. Topley has treated me for bladder cancer (2006) and for prostate cancer (2008) and treatment continued with many years of follow ups. He was always on top of everything and very interested in my well being. I hope to be seeing him soon to deal with a new issue.

Dr. Howard Topley is Physician to my husband. My husband had High Grade Ureter Cancer. Dr. Topley removed his Kidney. He has excellent bedside manner. He took a lot of time to explain everything to us before Surgery. After Surgery-and at all appointments afterwards we found him very thorough. Always explaining each Diagnosis. We believe he is a wonderful Physician and would recommend him to others without hesitation. Kathleen Bonnell

Dr Topley provides quality care and tells you the truth. He saved my life in my opinion. My PSA numbers were never bad but he made sure that after examining me that further testing should be done. Cancer was found and found before it had migrated anywhere else. I was given the best available treatment and now seven years later i am still cancer free. I would recommend him or any of his colleagues to anyone without hesitation.

He did great. He doesn't talk to you well, but his quality of work is great. I felt the need to give a good review after seeing the bad oness. He's a good doctor, just a little socially awkward.
