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.

I saw him in Reading, PA in 2021, and when I asked about chronic pelvic pain syndrome, he lied telling me it's something only women experience. Urologists probably just don't like working with patients suspected of this condition because they generally can't solve the problem with surgery. So they insist on throwing antibiotics at them and being as stand-offish as possible to get them out of their office. I don't doubt that he probably handles cancer patients significantly better, but for men who have nonbacterial prostatitis, his advice and solutions are useless.

Recently saw Dr. Trepasso for renal cyst. Explained everything in terms easy to understand. Agree with plan of follow up and felt comfortable with him. He displays understanding and is very professional but down to earth.
