    This office provides a wide array of alternative health treatments at relatively reasonable rates…read more After all, what is "real health CARE" actually worth? No insurance here. We happily pay as we go because we are getting results. SIDE NOTE: I pay $777 per month for MY Hometown Health insurance which I rarely use because let's face it...it is not really HEALTH care, it is sick care. (And I would NOT be without my SICK CARE insurance, so I can hardly wait for Medicare!) But Dr. Edwards and his amazing STAFF (who have all been doing their jobs here for over 14 to over 20 years)...provide what we consider to be REAL HEALTH CARE. Yes, you can come here sick and get better. But your options for REAL HEALTH CARE do not stop after you are well. Yes this office provides treatments that promote HEALTHY AGING. Why Age poorly if we can AGE HEALTHFULLY? I'm writing this review as my husband is having one of the most amazing treatments at this office. The picture of him on the EECP bed is below. Please watch the videos about EECP on YouTube and research EECP online if you are interested. And pick up the book that explains it all in detail. My wonderful husband is almost 83 and has a pacemaker and 2 stents. But he does not have angina which is why Medicare will not pay for him to have (otherwise Medicare approved and paid for) EECP. So he is having his treatments here. The results? His oxygen levels are now NORMALHis memory is almost back to normal already! His energy levels are GREAT! He is also having IV Chelation to further improve his circulation which also helps memory as well as heart stuff! I've included a picture of the room full of comfortable recliners that is the Chelation Room. It is often full! Today is a snow day so it's empty! I have spinal and joint pain that Dr. Edwards is treating with ProloZone injections. And yes I am much BETTER also! They do much much more here. We highly recommend Dr Edwards because there is much more that can be done to STAY HEALTHY AND AGE WELL...that Sick Care Insurance simply cannot provide you. After a few visits we could tell that Dr. Edwards really LOVES helping people get better and stay healthy...and yes...he has some UNUSUAL and EFFECTIVE approaches! Come with an open mind. This is not a normal Doctors office! We love it here not only because the staff are wonderful to us by also because we are HEALTHIER THAN EVER!

    I am a medical doctor with 50 years experience. I am prostate cancer survivor and have prostate…read moreenlargement. I have been under his supervision for over two years. He has tried to pressure me to perform a prostate biopsy because my PSA continued to rise. Prostate enlargement will elevate PSA. PSA does not reliably diagnose cancer. My annual Prostate MRIs never have shown any return of cancer. He never discussed starting me on medication to reduce the size of the prostate and to lower the PSA. Another Urologist immediately put me on finasteride and my PSA normalized. Nowadays doctors make much more money doing biopsies than office visits. That is the business of medicine. Two friends recently had prostate biopsies at the same clinic instead of a safe prostate MRI exam. Fortunately, neither biopsy showed cancer. However, one nearly died of sepsis from the biopsy and the other has MRSA prostatitis for the rest of his life. Both complications were completely avoidable.

    This is a good and amazingly well educated - check his bio - urologist if he will actually see you…read more More likely, he will push you off to a physician assistant (PA), whose education and experience pales to his, like he did to me - but same cost per visit to you with most insurance plans. Basically, every time I saw him, his attitude was, 'why are you wasting my time, you could see a PA for this'. Before I moved to Reno from a larger town, I saw multiple urologists for the same reasons I saw Dr. McCormack (kidney stones), and none of them dismissed me or urged me to see at PA instead of them. Also, in the years I saw Dr. McCormack, he never once performed a DRE. I received DREs from prior doctors at a younger age annually. And annually from my new urologist in Carson City. Check the standard of care, this may not meet it? PS - Urology Nevada is horrible and worse than Dr. McCormack, of which he is a part and presumably a decisionmaker and part of management / ownership, so he has to take responsibility for the poor service of everyone who works for or with him here. See my separate review on Yelp and see all the horrible Yelp & Google reviews written by other patients. Also, you have to fight with the front desk every time because they will auto-book you with a PA instead of with Dr. McCormack for your next appointment. YMMV if you have other issues deemed more serious than a history of kidney stones, which may possibly be what he prefers due to being more lucrative or other reasons?

    I am writing in regard to my experience as a post-operative patient of Dr. Anthony Michael…read moreSciascia, II, MD (License No.: 16951), (Dr. Sciascia for future references), an Emergency Physician with Renown Health Systems. The following link will take you the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners where you can enter his last name and review his previous medical background and training (https://nsbme.mylicense.com/verification/Search.aspx). Earlier this week, I had the misfortune of interacting with Dr. Sciascia in one of the Emergency Rooms (ER) associated with Renown Medical Center. I have never come into contact with such a rude, condescending, and offensive health care provider. I should note that I, too, am a doctor and Federal Law Enforcement Officer, so I deal with difficult personalities on a daily basis. I would also like to note that I would never treat any of my patients, no matter who they are or what they've done, the way Dr. Sciascia treated me. This is unacceptable, and I intend on bringing this to the attention of anyone who may come into contact with this physician, someone who should not be allowed to treat patients. When I went to the ER, I was two days post-op, and in a considerable amount of pain. As I previously mentioned, I was unlucky to have Dr. Sciascia pick up my case. From the first moment I met him, there was something odd about his demeanor and he had the worst bedside demeanor I have ever witnessed. My friend that accompanied me to the ER said the exact thing, and she actually picked up on this vibe before I did. As an aside, all of the nurses were flabbergasted by my account of what occurred during my interactions with Dr. Sciascia. Long story short, Dr. Sciascia essentially accused me of drug-seeking, and told me that he didn't believe that I was actually experiencing pain, despite being 2 days postop. Dr. Sciascia was literally trying to instigate an argument with me, which I refused to engage in. He compared to me heroin addicts, which I am not, as well as misusing my pain medication, which I did not. Dr. Sciascia then compared me to other patients he has seen with "broken bones sticking" sticking out of their skin and that they refused to take any medication at all. First of all, I dislike being compared to other people, especially when their injuries are not even close to what my surgery or pain entailed. As a man, Dr. Sciascia does not know how painful certain 'female conditions' can be, so it is extremely rude to dismiss as if it meant nothing. Dr. Sciascia invalidated the pain I was experiencing, and I refuse to let anyone treat or speak to me in such a manner. Prior to being released from the ER, he informed me that I was going to be prescribed Gabapentin, a drug with which I am familiar. Gabapentin, also known as Neurontin, is a medication used for neuropathic pain, not postoperative pain. I asked Dr. Sciascia how that would be helpful in my situation, and he literally said, "I don't know." My friend advocated for me by asking for something that actually helped me, and he switched it to a muscle relaxant, which I refuse to take. I am unfamiliar with that medication, and I have lost trust in doctors in Renown's ER. More than one nurse I came into contact with during my several hour stint in the ER informed me that Dr. Sciascia "has a really weird demeanor...[and] has no bedside manner." They said more, but I hope you get where I am coming from. I will be taking this to the medical board of NV, as well as any site on which a review can be posted. Dr. Sciascia caused more harm than good, as I was extremely upset when leaving the ER, and I was still in pain. Given that I have only had one experience with Dr. Sciascia, I cannot comment on his overall competence as an ER Physician, and it would be unethical of me to do so. I can only speak to my personal experience with Dr. Sciascia, which was so horrific that I will never return to that ER for fear of coming into contact with him again. I am writing this review in hopes that others will read this and steer clear of Dr. Sciascia, if at all possible. If you want to be treated like a human being, find another doctor. Further, as a doctor myself (not an MD), I am a strong advocate for those who may not have the knowledge, access, or resources to go up against a physician. This is NOT over. Thank you for reading.

    My boyfriend broke out with giant blotchy rashes all over his body for no apparent reason one day…read more We visited an urgent care, only to wait almost 3 hours for them to tell us to go to the ER. We were so frustrated, however I am glad that Dr. Sciascia (pronounced "Sha-sha") was able to treat him. Although the ER was incredibly busy that day, Dr. Sciascia made an effort to find the root of the problem without pushing him to have unnecessary medications, labs, etc. He suggested some over the counter meds we could purchase, gave us a prescription, and referred him to an allergist. Most importantly, he took the time to answer all of our questions and check on him before we left. It was the most efficient and caring ER visit we had. Plus, he's hilarious and super personable. Highly recommended!

    This review is specific to Dr. Astrom and her staff. Dr. Astrom has been my primary physician for a…read morefew years now and while it can be annoying to have her waiting area in the same room as the ROC clinic AND urgent care, I've always been treated kindly and respectfully. Dr. Astrom listens to my concerns, asks me specific questions, and never makes me feel silly for talking with her about my WebMD discoveries (even though I'm sure all doctors just love patients who self-diagnose via the internet). The booking staff does a decent job with getting you in and will notify you if a spot opens up from a cancellation. Once I'm there and checked in, I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes or so before my name is called. I appreciate that as my time is valuable. So again, I can't speak for the urgent care or ROC office but if you want a physician that listens and makes you feel comfortable, then you can't do better than Dr. Astrom.

    My appointment was April 22, 2026. Dr. Stephanie Rogers is excellent. She listens to my concerns…read more& answers knowledgeably. She is caring for my serious illness & I'm thankful. However, the office staff needs more training. The checkout person who I encountered violated their Code of Conduct rule. She was very rude & said to me, "If u don't complete the paperwork, we won't schedule any more appointments for you." It was shocking to be threatened so boldly. Previously, I completed their forms, but they repeatedly tell me it's not complete. I've told the office staff their repeated forms requirement is redundant. A patient shouldn't be expected to repeatedly complete the numerous forms. The office employee who threatened me should be disciplined. I would like a call from management to discuss this problem.
