im 70 yr old male and in august 2024 I was not able to urinate and was extremely uncomfortable--I had an enlarged prostate gland-and i was assigned to dr horovitz- wow I was very impressed by his personality and his professionalism!! he reassured me that I was going to be back to normal!! He performed a "turp"surgery and turned out to be a successful procedure!!!! I highly recommend dr david horovitz and his wonderful staff-I felt like I was treated perfectly and am in recovery from the recent surgery!!! I am able to urinate like a teenager-which is wonderful. I am very happy to have him as my urologist;) thank you from all my heart read more

Discharged from hospital with urinary catheter and was told to call office for appointment ASAP. Left two messages and never got a call back to schedule appointment (this is day 6 without call back !!). You can't talk to a real person just press #'s. Needless to say I made other arrangements to be seen by a different office. read more

I was there on Friday to review my MRI of a kidney stone with Dr Horovitz. There is definitely something seriously wrong with this doctor and office there's a cold chill in the air when you walk in and Dr Horovitz is struggling with something he should seriously consider giving up his practice i would never consider letting him operate on me! read more

I was uncomfortable do to stress over the procedure at first. However Dr Horovitz's mannerism and charisma quickly put me at ease and reassured me that i had made the right choice in choosing him. The procedure was smooth, fast and accommodating. The staff was also accommodating, nice and very understanding. The rooms are sanitized and very clean. I have OCD so i would've turned away should i have seen something out of place or unsanitary. Overall it was a good experience and I'm grateful to have been treated with the utmost care and respect. read more

This is the worst doctor I've ever been to. He has no bedside manners, and is as arrogant as they come. He'll also push pills from his chosen pill-mill. Apparently this is his side hustle. read more

Dr. HOROVITZ is an amazing doctor! I've read some of the other reviews and I didn't get any of the rush or rudeness that others were complaining about. Dr. Horovitz was absolutely nice and made me feel at ease. I was diagnosed with testicular cancer in my right testicle and had surgery March of 2023. And I couldn't be in better hands! I've had plenty of follow up visits with Dr. Horovits and never once had a bad experience! Also his staff is amazing and super nice everytime I've been there. All and all amazing doctor and I'm glad he gave me a future to live on! Thank you Dr. Horovits! read more

David Horovitz, MD - March of 2023 Surgery to remove cancer! - Urologists Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This doctor is incredibly rude, he is unprofessional and doesn't take accountability for his patients or his actions. After a surgery, patient went back due to urinating all over themselves and had an accident and the office did not care. Sent patient home in underwear and towel. Saying patient had a UTI and next morning Patient was in septic shock and in icu the next morning. The doctors asked for the so called doctor to take the case back so patient can be transferred for urologist care and he denied the case. This is cowardly actions and irresponsible. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, BECAUSE SOMEONE ALMOST LOST THEIRS. The only reason 1 star is pushed is because it will not post unless one is. NO STARS FOR THIS COWARD.​ read more

Dr David Horovitz bed side manners are one ended. The quality care from the Dr was one sided- does not let the patient speak. The test given wasn't complete the assistant rushed me as other office double books. Over all the ex Experience was not satisfactory. Dr mis diagnosed me. I went to a third urologist and his finding was on the first visits. I'm currently happy with my current urologist. After two years of pain I'm a better. Get a second or third opinion. read more

I went to see Dr Horovitz Because I was experiencing what turned out to be cancer in my bladder and eventually kidney. Worst experience ever. I found Dr Horovitz to be standoffish, unwilling to communicate & generally combative. Not the kind of doctor you need to resolve serious issues. This doctor has no respect for his patients, doesn't answer questions, expects you to accommodate his schedule. after on brief meeting in his trashy office and more that one encounter with his & his staff being rude, I decided I was in the wrong doctors office. I found Dr Hillyer, 10,000% the opposite of Horovitz! Want an amazing urologist, surgeon, doctor and person to help you with you issues, GO SEE DR HILLYER! read more

If I could give this Dr -0 stars I would he does not listen to a word you say about your own health issues he talks over you and talks down to you when you tell him any of the concerns you have for your health I have a history of kidney issue and having kidney reconstruction I started having extreme flank pain in my lower back and went to the hospital they did a ct with contrast and found a cyst on my kidney I brought the report too him and he told me "a lot of people have pain it's just unknown the reason"!! Wouldn't recommend wasting your time here will be driving 2+ to ucla where the Drs actually listen and care about the patients! read more

Dr Horovitz, beside manner is worst I have experience. He over talk you and his assumptions over rides the patients direct knowledge of their complaint(s). My mom is 90 years old and upon her discharge from Mercy Hospital this Doctor's office was referred to me for a follow up care for my mom. Little did I know this Doctor beside manners and competence was being reviewed by the Medical Board. read more

Dr. Horovitz & staff. Everyone in that office are professional's with a sensor of humor, i had a procedure done the Dr and two of his staff were in the room with me they made it look simple and talking about life while doing the procedure kept my mind off of what he was doing. Thanks's everyone! read more

This is by far the worst run doctors office I have ever been to. I hope you don't need to be seen quickly, or get someone on the phone... or to call you back for that matter. The women in the office are less than helpful. I saw Dr Horovitz one time and he spoke so quickly and cut me off multiple times while trying to explain. When I tried to address the issue I was referred for, he completely bypassed it and said it was insignificant. He wanted to do two different procedures for things that I didn't even understand what they were for. I left the office with more questions than answers. I decided I didn't want to see him again and tried to see the other Dr in the office. That was apparently just unacceptable to the office staff. I got the run around for two weeks. I couldn't get anyone on the phone to tell me how to go about seeing the other Dr or to call me back. I finally got someone on the phone, did what I was told and got a new referral... only to be told the dr would not accept me. Which, I don't think it was the dr at all. I think it was the women in the office mad that I wasn't just letting them do whatever they wanted and made them do their job. I have never had so many issues trying to be seen. I will not recommend this office based on the office staff alone! Terribly run. If I could give zero stars I would. read more

I definitely recommend Dr. Horovitz. He has been nothing but genuine and helpful. Very kind and explained my diagnosis and procedures i needed very clearly. He was able to save my kidney and remove my cancerous tumor in its entirety. Im very grateful and thankful for what he has done for me. And thank you to the ladies at the front desk. So sweet and supportive. read more

my sister had a visit to him a few days ago. was bad experience. he wasn't able to read the mri report and he wanted her to go physical and get the written one. while his office can do it with in moments from email from Kern Radiation. Basically arguing with her the patient Rude and very unprofessional read more

I visited Dr. Horovitz twice. The first time he was quite rude and rushed me through our consult. I decided (poorly) to have a Cystcostomy performed at a further date. At the second visit I was treated very rudely and was initally told that an anaesthetic was not nescessary for the procedure. This was a red flag to me so I left the office very unhappy with the Dr. Horovitz's attitude and technique. I went on to find another Dr., whom was very nice and treated me with respect. I do not recommend Dr. Horovitz. read more

Recently had a surgical procedure performed by Dr. Horovitz. He was very accommodating, answering all my questions and made the entire experience comfortable. The results of my procedure couldn't have turned out better. His nursing and office staff are also top notch. Very professional and friendly. If you are looking for a highly qualified urologist, look no further than Dr. Horovitz. read more

Dr.Horowitz and his office have always treated me kindly and with respect. He had been treating me for years for my bouts with kidney stones. I would recommend. read more

Dr. Horovitz performed a urolift procedure on me which was highly successful in relieving my prostate issues. His office staff are professional and take pride in doing the best job possible. I highly recommend Dr. Horovitz to anyone needing urological treatment. read more

This review comes from my 87 yr old mother, Henrietta she does not have Yelp so ask me to transcribe her review. "I am so grateful for Dr Horovitz, after seeing so many Drs for my condition and my age most Drs had given up on me and said there was nothing they could do. But Dr Horovitz took the time to review my history and reviewed my options with me, he was very attentive and was very reassuring. They were good at following up with me after surgery. I recommend him and his staff. read more

One word to define the service on this office: UNPROFESSIONAL! One word to define Dr' Horovitz: UNPROFESSIONAL. The feeling in that office (staff included) is like a third word country. The first day I felt a little uncomfortable (red flag, yes! I did not pay attention). But I decided to follow the flow. Days before my procedure they change the location (second red flag) The day BEFORE my procedure they change AGAIN the location (third red flag) and 3 times the time it was supposed to be performed. The "professional" scheduler lady went from 1 PM, then 2:15 and 2:45. And in the top of it, they CANCELED my procedure 40 minutes before it. And they thought with "my apologies " they fix everything. They don't even know what I need to do to be there ON TIME and on the place they told me after all these location and time changes. This is the worst people to deal with. No wonder they don't have a web page! Please, please, PLEASE!!! Stay away from this office, this dr and his "professional" staff. read more

I took my 9 my year old son to see Dr. Horovitz, for a consultation on considering a re circumcision's. My first impression on this man was awesome he younger and will be able to relate to son better. After talking to him and getting to know him a little better, I could tell my son was getting uncomfortable with all the comments and suggestions he was making about my son weight. Heck I was getting uncomfortable. I respect he personal opinion about his weight. But what really bothered me is I felt we discuss my child weight and eating habits more then his circumcision and that didn't sit right with me. After we left his office my son whole attitude change and he asked for salad for lunch. It broke my heart that a adult man made my child feel this way. I felt like he was fat shamming my child. I would not suggest taking an adult or child that may have few extra pounds to see Dr. Horovitz. read more

Dr. Horovitz is the best urologist in town! He always makes time for his patients, is very thorough, and truly cares!

David is great, he is very thorough. He asks questions and gives you answers that you can understand. Staff are nice and friendly. David has a cool laid back demeanor and is easy to talk to. read more

Dr. Horovitz was nice and procedure went ok but my husband got and infection about a week after and had to go to the hospital. We tried to call the answering service left two messages then called the office the following Monday had to leave a message with the nurse and still never got a call back. read more

I have a chronic illness and Dr. Horovitz has been one of the only doctors to truly listen and seek to understand the underlying cause of my condition. While other doctors have merely provided medicine for temporary relief, Dr. Horovitz has ordered various tests and continues to seek out the reasoning behind my diagnosis. While I'm still very much on the road to recovery, it means so much to have a doctor that listens and seeks answers. I've found Dr. Horovitz to be very empathetic and personable, even taking the extra time to answer phone calls when I've been in pain or talk to pharmacists on my behalf. I highly recommend Dr. Horovitz! read more

Dr. Horovitz did a first-class job in treating a family member's bladder issue. Thank you Doctor!

I have struggled most of my life with my bladder problems and have seen many Drs and Specialists. The day I met Dr. Horovitz was the day God Blessed me beyond my wildest imagination. At 59 I had all but given up hope that anyone would care. Dr. Horovitz, Jen, and all of his staff are awesome. After a very short time of being in Dr. Horovitz care, I have finally had surgery and actually found someone, a Dr. How actually cares. On a scale of 1 thru 10 they are a 20. Thank you Dr. Horovitz, and the staff at Riverwalk Surgery. You were the answer to my prayers. If you need a Urology specialist this is the Dr for you and the staff is phenomenon. read more

We were referred by my insurance and I'm so happy to have him. Dr. Horovitz is kind and professional. He makes us feel welcome and is understanding. His staff is always nice, professional and fun. And sometimes that's needed. Everyone there is knowledgeable and helps navigate you through your journey there. read more

I agree with other reviews on here. Terrible bedside manner. I felt grilled while he was performing my procedure, asking details of my personal life which were none of his business. I felt this was extremely inappropriate and I am a male, I can only imagine how females feel with this type of behavior. Use someone else. read more

I read great reviews, so I was hopeful. At my very 1st visit he basically wrote me off, said he that wasn't going to do anything,  but small tests. 2nd appt was for a small procedure that he made me stay awake for...it took longer & was much more painful. He became extremely irritated and upset with me almost yelling at me to when I yelp in pain. Told me that I shouldn'thirt so bad. Gave me a med that didn't work before. I will be finding another dr. read more

I was referred to Dr. Horovitz after being diagnosed at the ER with kidney stones. One was likely too large to pass so I needed a urologist. I met with Dr H and found him to be very knowledgeable about what I needed to have done to get rid of the stone and the pain! He was very nice and gave me and my husband all our options, as well as spelled out clearly the risks of the surgery. I knew I needed the surgery, so his staff worked quickly to add me on the schedule that week as well as worked with my primary doctor and Mercy Hospital to make sure my insurance and pre-op tests were all in order and completed. Surgery went well, home the same day, and back in two weeks for a follow up. His medical assistant Jordan was so helpful and kind, and his scheduler Jennifer went out of her way to make me feel she cared. I'm happy to recommend Dr. Horovitz and his staff if you need a urologist. read more

This is a great Urologist to trust your health to. He's very knowledgeable and have the patience to hear your concerns about your procedure. I just had a kidney removal due to severe hydronephrosis on August the 27th and been doing great after this procedure. read more

I met Dr. Horovitz in pre-op. I was impressed with his demeanor and how he explained how the procedure would go. In recovery he cane to let me know he had gotten all the kidney stones and would see me when I came in for the stent removal. At his office he was,again, pleasant and explained everything as he was doing the cystoscopy. My primary care doctor was glad he was my surgeon, and I will definitely call him if I ever get additional kidney issues. read more

Wow, I am shocked by the prior reviews that I have read on Dr. David Horovitz as for our experience and I say "our" as I am a 54 year old male looking after my 84 year old Father) who has for the last six months + been through the ringer to say the least...starting with a hernia surgery then a blood clot in his lung which required two "stints" installed on each leg to the most recent of having "prostate" issues requiring a temporary catheter. Dr Horovitz has been great from our first initial visit thru all of my fathers surgeries (which we are pleased to say "went very well") clear up to the date of this review and I have no reason to believe otherwise beyond that as well.. unlike ALL of the other reviews coincidentally all dated within a few weeks of each other no big flag there?... (Sorry John W. maybe a dentist instead of a urologist is your answer?)... This is a genuine, honest and fair review. Dr Horovitz has always been professional, considerate and polite while explaining in clear detail a possible procedure, what our options are and/or any questions/concerns we may have asked and has always been answered in a manner that was clearly understood. (or I'll ask "could you please explain that again") I am not a shy person especially when it comes to my Fathers health care. We have never felt "left in the dark" on any portion of any procedure in which Dr. Horovitz was going to preform or had preformed. Dr Horovitz has been the only Dr. who has personally contacted me by phone (on more than one occasion I might add) as a returned call to a question we had and as a follow up on my Fathers condition after surgery which I personally have never had a Doctor do for me and was totally taken by surprise. I thanked him for this type of personal concern in hopes he will continue in doing so. read more

Dr David Horovitz, MD operated on my husband first thing in the morning and then informed the office he was working at that he quit in the afternoon and left us hanging as far as follow up appointments for his surgery. Who knows where he will try practicing again. Patients beware!!! read more
