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.

Dr Gurgov was very attentive. He listened to my concerns and addressed each. He is very personable and that made me feel comfortable discussing a sensitive subject.

Recommend Highly!
Dr.Gurgov is excellent. He has been wonderful to my 98 year old father (with dementia). Dr Gurgov took my father from what we thought was going to be a permanent catheter (according to our previous urologist) to urinating on his own within 3 months. Dr Gurgov is very knowledgeable, answers all my questions, and calmed the fears I had in caring for my father. In addition he is always courteous and caring toward my father. Dr. Gurgov answers questions I send through the portal quickly. His staff is first rate, efficient and also kind and caring. I would recommend him highly to anyone who needs a urologist!

Dr. Gurgov was outstanding. He found my Hi-risk prostate cancer when most physicians would have just had me come back next year for my next PSA. He went the extra mile while being totally present and compassionate. A wonderful doctor. Frank McGee

Wonderful doctor
Dr.Gurgov has cared for me for over three years. I have followed him when he moved his practice despite that it was a bit further away for this “old” lady. He has seen me successfully through bladder cancer and surgery. He listens, explains and genuinely cares that I understand. Best of all . He has a sense of humor and a great smile.

very pleased and satisfied
I have had experience with four urologists over many years. I feel fortunate to have found Dr. Gurgov and have him currently treat me. His care in explaining the specifics of my condition and treatment options is excellent. Experiencing procedures and surgery with this doctor has been a positive experience. I have recommended Dr. Gurgov to friends and would do so again.

Excellent Physician in every way
Dr. Gurgov has wonderful bedside manner as he listens very well, answers any questions and does not rush. With my elevated PSA he did not rush to a biopsy to check for cancer. Instead suspected an enlarged prostate which caused a low grade infection which elevated my PSA. He was right. He performed a "TURP" to shrink my prostate, therefore doing away w/ the infection. Dropped my PSA to a perfect"1". Very impressed and appreciative in every way. Highly recommend Dr. Gurgov for any Urologic issues.

Excellent, caring, patient, competent, personable.
Dr Gurgov is a phenomenal physician with a great bedside manner and he answers ALL of your questions without being smug or dismissive. My cystoscopy performed on June 22, 2022 was not something that I looked forward to but it went quickly and with ultra-minimal discomfort. The BEST part was watching it on TV with no commercials.
