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 Urologist
I am so happy I went to see Dr Childs. I have seen several others and he is excellent when it comes to explaining things and excellent with procedures. I drive 45 miles to go this office and even the staff and the help are excellent.

Great comforting dr.
He took the time to help me understand both anatomy and diagnostics. Then spoke about the diagnosis and treatment options. Great bedside manner in very precarious situation as a man examining a man’s parts.

Kidney Stones
Wait was about 20 minutes. I also happened to be experiencing strong kidney stone pain for a week prior. Before this visit, I had an image done and sent to Childs’ office. At his office they had lots of trouble bringing up images, and when they were available, nothing useful was visible. Dr. Childs gave good advice, but there was nothing else he could do about the stone pain, it appears to be a smaller one.

Great experience and recovery
Had a vasectomy with Dr Childs. Had a great experience and a successful vasectomy with no complications and my recovery has been quick and relatively pain free. I didn’t have to take any pain meds.

One of worst experiences of my life with a doctor
Dr. Child’s doesn’t seem to understand much about female issues. He didn’t listen to me and interrupted me and came to his own conclusions without the facts I attempted to provide. He discounted all my previous lab tests because “with my body size “ I should have been catheterized. He didn’t examine me but scheduled me for kidney ultrasound and said he’d need to look inside my bladder. I had already explained to him that the reason I was there was to consult with him about how to stay healthy getting older. I’m 73 and had just recovered from a uti and yeast infection that I never wanted to repeat. He was NOT kind or compassionate. I left his office feeling invisible and humiliated. I visited my primary care doctor yesterday to get the information and care I had expected from Dr. Childs. I will NOT be returning.

Most Amazing Urologist
Dr. Childs is so knowledgeable and caring and funny! I totally trust his medical advice. He has such great mannerisms and takes time with me. He even worked me in his full schedule. I never have had such a top-level urologist as Dr. Childs. I highly, highly recommend him!
