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.

Great Doctor
Performed surgery on me that changed my life. Did Green Light laser on my prostate and I was back at work in 48 hours and feeling fantastic. Explained everything ahead of surgery and met with me later post surgery to answer my questions. The office did their best to get me handled before my son's wedding. Has a knowledgable and caring staff (PA, nurses, schedulers, etc.). I am confused about other reviews that don't like his bedside manner. I found him to be friendly. I am grateful for his expertise.

Last choice doctor
Had none of the CT scan results or imaging. Accused me of lying, does not listen, walks out on you within a minute or two. Avoid him at all cost. Read his reviews. See for yourself

worse doctor ever
my son was seeing him for just a few years before I finally found a new urologist to replace him. I even knew someone who worked in his office for years and she agreed that he was a complete ahole. and considering my son was special needs, this man was still an idiot to me in regards to not even giving test results over the phone when we were having a blizzard and he insisted we come into his office. That was when he was on the east side of Elgin and much harder for me to get to his place.

Won't go back
Felt rushed, condescended to, and not heard. Won't go back. Nursing staff and NP were much better -- friendly, helpful, not rushed.

He is the worst doctor I have ever met in my life! He will not spend more than 1 minute with you and he will make you feel uncomfortable if you ask him questions.

After a accident and a ruptured testicle I went to see the doctor. I never felt like anything was being sugar coated. He was very upfront and honest about every detail. He kept me informed. Even after surgery he came to check on me in more then a professional manner. The most important thing to me is even when things got serious he made me laugh. At the end of the day, when you are going through a life altering surgery it is important to have a doctor that make you feel confident and safe.
