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.

My 4 minute annual urology exam consisted of handing me lab work for PSA lab work. It did NOT include: DRE Exam recommended for men over 50, no urinalysis, no bladder scan, requested specific lab work, Doctor said "it was okay a year ago" so no need to check it.

Waste of time
Sat 45 minutes in the waiting room. He was late. Sat 1 hour in a tiny examination room. Where's the Doctor ? He is fixing his computer. I could understand being late if a patient needed extra time. If one had an emergency ABSOLUTELY. REALLY gets my goat his problems come before his patients. Cheap skate, buy a new computer if that one is broken. I drove 45 minutes to get there. PAID the $48.00 co-pay and got NOTHING done !

Kind, knowledgeable, experienced and listens to the patients. Staff friendly, courteous, and also knowledgeable. I, as a physician myself, was and am impressed. I had a follow up appointment 8 days after the first. I got into excruciating pain, sent a telehealth message, relating this at night about 4 days after first appointment, and his office called the next morning brought me in, discussed the tests and immediately scheduled surgery to fix the cause of the pain. 5/5 rating.

Dr. Kuo performed HoLEP surgery on me in March 2021; I had a significantly enlarged prostate and reduced urine flow. The results couldn't be better—the vastly improved flow makes me feel like I'm in my 20s again, and so does my unimpaired sex life. In my opinion, Dr. Kuo is THE HoLEP surgeon of choice in greater Albany. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

I had the most satisfying and successful experience and outcome for treatment a very enlarged prostrate with Dr KUO. My treatment was conducted with the utmost care. Very cogent explanations were given to me about the procedure. My after care was first class. My recovery was as perfect as could be expected and the quality of my life after getting rid of catheters has improved significantly. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr KUO to friends and family.

Dr. Kuo is extremely patient. He explained the HOLEP procedure in detail. The outcome was the best I could have imagined. My urinary function is back to normal (the bladder held 2400 ml post voiding before the HOLEP, requiring a catheter). I can't thank him enough.

During surgery to remove a six millimeter kidney stone Doctor Kuo put a hole in my kidney. Not the Ureter, MY KIDNEY. I was returned to my room after surgery without being told that a hole was put in my kidney. I was hospitalized for 9 days to fight the infection caused by all the fluid that was leaking into my stomach due to the hole in my kidney. I would not recommend this doctor

Dr. Ramsey Kuo is an exceptional surgeon! His professional skills, experience and willingness to go above and beyond his duties to minimize postoperative suffering -- makes him one of a handful surgeons in the country, who is able to perform the HoLEP procedure for Prostate so flawlessly. Its hard to believe that only after 3 weeks of my operation, I've almost fully returned to my usual activities, including my work. I had no pain after the surgery and no issues whatsoever. I feel amazing!
