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.

From the first day of my diagnosis of bladder cancer in 2009 to now 10 years later, Dr. Scott Kahn has been kind, compassionate, competent, caring and personable. He gave it to me straight and reassured me back then that he would always be up front with me. He explained my treatment and was confident that he could treat my condition. Ten years later and I am cancer free. I see him once a year for follow-ups and he remembers me. Thank you Dr. Kahn for all you do and all you are.

Dr. Kahn is excellent. I had Fournier Gangrene with Perirectal Abscesses, Urinary Tract Infections and Acute Kidney Failure. Dr. Kahn's medical expertise, surgical skills, professionalism and abilities to coordinate and work with the Gastrointestinal Surgeons at Vassar Brothers Hospital under extremely complex circumstances saved my life. He knew what to do, when to do it and I was fully in the decision process which gave me confidence and peace of mind. Dr. Kahn's post surgical office care has been most reassuring. I have been healing without complications and am preparing to have my colostomy reversed and return to normal life. I thank God for giving such talents to Dr. Kahn whom I highly recommend.

I am a cancer survivor; and I must first thank God for directing me to Dr. Scott Kahn. He has been my urologist for many years and has successfully been with me through a radical prostatectomy and kidney stones. He is not only professional and extremely competent, but also caring and personally involved with my wellbeing. I, and my wife, thank you so very much Dr. Kahn.

Dr. Scott Kahn is a wonderful doctor and surgeon. Last October, my PSA count had reached 450 and he performed a biopsy. On a November morning, he shared the results with me in this way: "John you do have cancer, and that's a word none of us want to hear, but it's not life threatening and we will find just the right interventions for you." His calmness and compassion eased my anxiety immensely. Subsequently, Dr. Kahn ordered scans that determined the cancer, though aggressive, was confined to the prostate. He inserted a hydro gel to protect other organs, injected a hormone to lower testosterone that can fuel cancer cells, and referred me to Dr. Koutcher and his wonderful staff at the PROS radiation center here in Poughkeepsie, NY. There, I had 45 radiology treatments over nine weeks. Good came last week: My most recent PSA score is less than 0.1. Thank you, Dr. Scott Kahn. I am thankful to have found you!

I had a very painful urinary retention episode recently which was treated in the hospital emergency room. I scheduled a visit with Dr. Kahn the following week to have the foley removed and have a follow up exam. The Doctor and his staff immediately put me at ease and fully explained what the exam would entail and afterward what options were available to address my issues. I have since had laser surgery performed by Dr. Kahn to help correct my enlarged prostate issue and am now recovering well.

I've been a patient of Dr. Kahn for over 20 years. My treatment has included conditions ranging from kidney stones to Diverticulitis. More severely I underwent urethral stent placement following a diagnosis of prostate cancer that metastasized to my bladder. Throughout my care he was concise, professional and able to communicate important information in a manner my family and I were able to understand. My family and I can only express gratitude and appreciation for his excellent level of care.

Dr. Kahn took the time with me to explain in complete detail everything I needed to know regarding an upcoming surgery. His professionalism and compassion but my mind at ease. He did something many doctors no longer do. HE LISTENED as I explained the symptoms I was experiencing. Without hesitation I would recommend Dr. Kahn to anyone in need of a Urologist.

Dr. Kahn is a great doctor! He always explains things in a way that I can understand. If I ask for further explanation he is always willing to describe things in a way that I can understand. He will even draw pictures to ensure that I am aware what is going on. I would highly recommend him to anyone. .

He will have to prove to me that he's a step better than the rest of the so called Dr.'s working at the Urology area. I already had 2 that let me for dead. The Captain sent me home after surgery with a blood clot! Imagine? They think it's a pimple. He gets only a fair rating till he proves himself. The only answer they have for stones, is drink 84oz. of water per day! Let's see them drink that amount.
