I had been seeing another urologist for many years in MD. I was referred to…read moreDr. Jennifer L. Young, M.D. by my primary Dr. Elizabeth Gannon, M.D. Dr. Young was very thorough I explained my history she listened, took notes then asked me questions. Dr. Young's nurse called to schedule an appointment for a cystotomy. I didn't wait more than 5 minutes and a fantastic nurse assisted Dr. Young. The procedure was over and I didn't know it had started. She explained the next steps for treatment in layman's terms. I have all the confidence in the world in Dr. Young. Her greatest attributes are her bedside manner, professionalism, caring, and knowledge.

Notwithstanding numerous messages left with the Urology Group nurse, both in Cornwall and…read moreLandsdowne, no one ever returns the call even when stated that it was urgent. I had to go in person today to Cornwall to complain and couldn't make an appointment for another month. Sorry, but this is not the correct way a medical practice should be run notwithstanding excellent doctors. They should be pissed at how this negatively affects them! I do not recommend this medical practice at all. Eric Wilmeth 703-687-2341

My husband met with several doctors to decide what options were best for him to treat his…read morecancerous prostate. He was scared and was searching for guidance. Without much explanation or clarification, the doctors he met with told my husband that surgery was not a possibility. Fortunately, he met Dr. Schenk. At the very first appointment with Dr. Schenk, my husband finally felt confident that he had met a doctor he could trust, a doctor who would listen to him, a doctor who would recommend the best option for him. Over several consultations, all options were explored based on my husband's diagnosis. Dr. Schenk took the time to explain in detail. He was not rushed. He was patient; he was straight forward; he was kind; and he was honest. My husband had robotic assisted surgery to remove his prostate and he is overjoyed that all went well. Dr. Schenk is a skilled surgeon. Dr. Schenk saved my husband's life.

My GP referred me to Dr. O'Connor due to some fluctuation in my PSA over 18 months. Dr. O'Connor…read moreand I met and went over the symptoms (PSA was over 5 but considered "normal" for my age. As a precaution for a man in his 70's he recommended a DRE which I agreed was prudent based on our discussion. He found a large palpable mass on my prostate and recommended I have a biopsy which his office schedule the next week. The mass was malignant in 6 of 8 tissue samples taken. At the visit where we reviewed the biopsies Dr. O'Connor patiently went over the finding and laid out my alternatives in a clear time related way. I chose surgery and he said his colleague, Dr. Christine Tran, was one of the most talented surgeons to come out of the Cleveland Clinic. Dr Tran removed my prostate 3 weeks later with almost no consequential impacts. I have had none of the common issues with continence or normal function. These two remarkable specialist along with my GP, Dr. Nagell, saved my life. The post surgery biopsies had the magic negative margins descriptor while noting the cancer was graded an 8 on the Gleason scale. In plain English it was an aggressive cancer that had not metastasized and it was completely removed with no impacts to the normal functioning of my biology. I heartily recommend them all and a special thanks to Dr. Tran who is one hell of a skilled surgeon.

When the urologist yells at you and calls you names (including slamming papers and pens on counter…read moretops as well as slamming doors) just because you ask questions while being involved in your healthcare I know I'm seeing the wrong guy at the wrong practice. They waste time and money in my opinion at this practice and from my experience with useless tests hurdles and procedures. I have had a stone removed before about 3 years ago elsewhere. I can say that I didn't have to go through that incredibly invasive in office procedure to remove the final lower stent after the stones were removed in the hospital until this group was providing care. Was just unnecessary in my opinion and from what I could understand through the yelling and insults when I just simply asked why this dr removed the strings when I told him I would remove the stent at home (barring any complications) like I did three years ago. He made the decision on his own preventing me from doing so and ignoring my wishes. This is just a small example of my experience with this guy/group. Very stressful ... aggravating.

First referred by my Primary Care in Fairfax, I continue being a patient even though travelling from Ashburn to Fairfax isn't easy. However the staff is great and Dr Patel in particular makes himself very available to patients either in-person or via e-mail. I find him very attentive to my concerns and as an overseas traveler, he ensures I have what I need in my trips. He also ensures follow-up as necessary with labs and takes the time to explain the findings. He and his staff are prompt regarding prescriptions and in the past were also very helpful getting insurance approvals for certain medications. A long drive but worth the attention patients receive.
