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 in Urology
Dr. Sonstein when up and beyond in explaining all available procedures that could correct my urinary problem. I chose the TURPS procedure. My procedure was completed on 8/3/23 and I remained in the hospital until Friday 8/4/23. Dr. Sonstein recommended me to stay to make sure all was complete. I wore the catheter for 5 days and all of my urine discharges resulted in becoming clear. Today 8/8/23 I visited the office to have the catheter removed and after doing the ultrasound on my bladder it showed over 80% drained. The procedure was a success. In fact this is why I chose Dr. Sonstein to do my procedure, based on past reviews and all of the previous reviews were proven to be correct, and now I add my name to the successful procedure performed by Dr. Sonstein. I thank you again, Dr. Sonstein

I was recently diagnosed with blood in my urine. My primary care doctor sent me to Dr. Sonstein. As I had no symptoms of pain which would indicate a kidney stone my primary care doctor was concerned that I might have a more serious issue--mainly cancer of the bladder or kidney. Dr. Sonstein and his team immediately went into high gear, diagnosed my symptoms, got me on a treatment plan, and called me several times to see how I was doing. I would rate him 10 stars if that was possible.
