I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Gregory Barme and the way he cared for me during one of…read morethe most painful experiences of my life. I was admitted with a kidney stone that left me literally kneeling by the hospital bed in agony when he first came in to see me. From the moment he walked in, his kind and calm demeanor made a huge difference. He didn't just rush through -- he took the time to explain what was happening, what my options were, and how we could relieve the pain and get me on the path to healing. He treated me like a person, not just a patient in crisis. His expertise was clear, but what stood out most was his compassion. He reassured me in a moment when I felt completely overwhelmed, and he guided me through the procedure with such steady confidence that I felt safe placing my trust in him. Thanks to his care, I am able to move from a place of unbearable pain to healing and stability. I'm deeply grateful to Dr. Barme and would highly recommend him to anyone facing urological issues -- not only for his medical skill, but for the humanity he brings into the room.

So that made me feel nice when people actually remember you! He sat and gave me a lot of information I didn't have. He even confirmed some false information I was given a while back. So now that I have the real info, I'll be doing what I can with it. He was patient and answered all my questions. Great doctor! Highly recommend him to anyone!

He thoroughly arranged the necessary tests, including MRI, biopsy, and PSMA PET/CT, which led to a clear and timely diagnosis. Because I was concerned about the risk of infection, I specifically requested a transperineal (TP) biopsy, and Dr. Shinghal was very receptive and performed it without issue. I truly appreciated how he listened to my concerns and accommodated my request. After the cancer was confirmed, he took the time to clearly explain the available treatment options, discussing both the benefits and potential concerns of each. This helped me make an informed and confident decision about my treatment. His recommendation of Dr. Yao for surgery was excellent and made a meaningful difference in my overall care and outcome. Dr. Shinghal is professional, thoughtful, and genuinely patient-centered. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy urologist.

Dr. Rosenberg gets 2 stars because he didn't keep me waiting too long past my appointment time, and…read morehe did spend more than 10 minutes with me. Unfortunately, it didn't do any good. He treated me like a moron, didn't listen, and didn't solve my problem. So he only gets 2 stars. I was born with my right ureter through a muscle, which caused many kidney infections as a child. The local doctor misdiagnosed this as backwash. Luckily, my mom persevered and got a correct diagnosis and I was successfully operated on when I was 6. Last year (at 28), I had 3 kidney infections within 6 months. I thought this was a problem, so I starting the slow path through the insurance and doctoral hoops until I finally got to a urologist, who had a test done, which revealed that (surprise surprise) my right kidney had reduced functioning. He said this was likely due to scar tissue from the childhood operation, and could be fixed easily enough. Unfortunately, I moved to SF before we could get on with the fixing. The old urologist recommended Dr. Rosenberg here in SF, and I immediately made an appointment in hopes that we could start out where I had left off with other urologist. I brought with me my chart from the other urologist, including the results of the kidney function test. I wrote down my whole history in their "new patient" forms, and then told it all to Dr. Rosenberg. He pretended to listen, and then proceeded with the generally uncomfortable process of manually exploring my urinary tract. Below is a small excerpt of the frustrating conversation that ensued: Dr: It's probably backwash. Me: Actually, that is what I was misdiagnosed with as a child. Dr: Hmm. So, where's your scar? Me: On my lower abdomen. (Dr. examines scar on lower abdomen) Dr: Well, that is not where the scar should be, if the operation was what you said. It should be up here on your side. (Dr. proceeds to physically turn me and search for a scar on my side. Like there really might be a scar there that I had not noticed in the past quarter century. Like maybe I got a long thin scar on my lower abdomen through some other childhood scrape, like, I dunno, falling off a bike, and that distracted me from the REAL surgery scar on my side, unnoticed by me until the astute Dr. pointed it out.) Me: Um, no, I am sure I don't have a scar on my side. I don't know exactly how they did the operation, but I know it was my ureter through a muscle. Dr. (giving up on searching for the elusive side scar, but with no explanation as to the actual scar on my lower abdomen): Couldn't have been. It's probably backwash. If you have backwash, go to Dr. Rosenberg. For any other problem and/or for an actual doagnosis, go elsewhere. I am.

He is kind, caring, empathetic and has a celebrity-like quality. I see angry/negative reviews and the problem I have with them is, I doubt Dr. Turek looked at anyone and said, "I can fix this without a doubt". If you're looking for certainty, I think it is highly unreasonable in this area. My wife and I understood this but would have stopped at nothing to build our family. I understand the cost involved is staggering but if Dr. Turek has any guidance it is worth following based on your desire and resolve. Diagnoses: Azoospermia Treatment: 1. Sperm mapping. 2. Varicocelectomy 3. As a result of the varicocelectomy not correcting, I underwent microTESE. One of the most important points I would like to make is, at the time of treatment I was in my mid to late 40's. I had never been under general anesthesia, been operated on nor had stitches. I was TERRIFIED knowing what I was about to go through. Literally my worst nightmare come true. I still have spontaneous thought inducing panic about the days leading up to my surgeries. I would do it all again without hesitation if it was Dr. Turek who was my physician/surgeon. I felt he was truly invested in our success and my care. He knew and understood my pain and anxiety. He knew how important this was to my wife and me.

Unfortunately, the same issue has occurred on my first visit back- not yet a full hour, but I was the first person in the office and they still took the person who arrived after me first. I'll address the issue with the group and appropriate licensing boards, but you should be aware of their lack of professionalism, timeliness and standards. I've done all my due diligence in relation to arriving early, checking in and following directions- and I have no issues with interpersonal relationships or behavior- so this is egregious.

His comment was "we don't have any male nurses" & "they have seen it a hundred times", neither comment of course eased any of my discomfort. After explaining the options, we chose one, and he advised that the first procedure would require a female to show me how it works. I was aghast, I just explained to him how uncomfortable I was about that. At any rate, I called back the following week and canceled the prescription & first initial instructional visit with his female assistant. I came away thinking, these doctor's aren't really interested in helping you address the core problem, it's more of a philosophy of hey try these drugs (even though they probably have never tried any themselves) and they will be your cure. But none of them are a cure, it's just a continual cycle of doctors who give what they think is best, and patients relying on medication that really doesn't address the core issues, or adequately treat the problem. I'm left frustrated with our healthcare, not just with doctor's, but insurance companies too. Insurance always seems to come between what your doctor & you agree is the best course of action, because insurance follows the cheapest path of care. Interjecting themselves between you & your doctor, as if they know better than you & your doctor, just isn't right. The state of healthcare in America is horrible, and that's a person talking from decades of healthcare coverage. Imagine people with no coverage, or MediCaid. Why can't we as a society push for cures, decent medical care, less pills, more research, a system where doctor's are not handcuffed by the final decision of insurance companies. Dr. Kaplan was a good doctor, but he's in the rabbit hole same as all the other doctors. Hamstrung by today's inadequacies in our medical care system. Would I recommend Dr. Kaplan, and go back to see him? Yes I would, he's the best in his field that I've met so far.

I confirmed the fax number with our doctor, and confirmed they did send the referral over and gave me the exact date they sent it. I asked my doctor to resend referral again just to make sure which they did when I was on the phone with them. I waited a few more days and then called Dr Kaplan's office back again. We are really worried and wanting to get this going especially if there is cancer. Dr Kaplan's office said they still did not receive the referral. They wanted me to confirm that I had their correct fax number which I did. Dr Kaplan's wanted me to call our doctor back again. I asked if Dr Kaplan's office could just call our doctor to get this resolved. And Jason at Dr Kaplan's told me that he could not make these type of phone calls he only makes appointments. So, I asked if someone else in the office could call our doctor - he said No. I asked "you are telling me no one from Dr Kaplan's office can make a phone call to another doctor's office" Dr Kaplan's office (Jason) said No. Dr Kaplan's office (Jason) said he has a backline fax number I could give to my doctor. I feel that they just do not care and if there is something really wrong with my husband I don't want to deal with a doctor who has this lack of customer service. I felt like they don't care and there was no urgency - I guess they have enough business, so they don't give a *%it. Anyway, end of story is that with just an important life and death stakes we asked for a new referral to a different doctor.
