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.

I would strongly encourage anyone who is seeking a vasectomy to seriously reconsider. Do your…read moreresearch and fully understand that what you will hear from this practice is a misleading representation of stats and outcomes regarding the risks of this seemingly common procedure. I waited over two years to post this review as I know I can't change my decision, but perhaps I can help others learn from my research. I had a vasectomy done in late 2018 and months later started developing Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome, a condition I was not even aware existed until after the procedure was done. At first these guys were great, they ordered ultrasounds, made time to hear my concerns but once the pain continued and no obvious answers were found, I was referred out for pain management and that was that. Two years later am still experiencing ongoing daily pain that will likely be lifelong despite a reversal earlier this year. I was willing to pay the premium price tag for the individualized attention of the practice, but if you are part of the 15% of men who develop any longterm complications from the procedure--you are on your own because they'll act like PVPS doesn't exist. Welcome to Hell. PVPS affects upward of 15% of men according to a 2016 study. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4854072/) The consequences are lifelong and very difficult to pinpoint. Their consent form is a laughably thin single page document which cites the possibility of some post-operative pain and complication, but PVPS and lifelong pain is mentioned exactly zero times. These guys are great salesmen. You walk in thinking, "It's simple, quick, effective, and has no impact on anything other than fertility and this is white glove service. False. Nowhere does it mention the well documented possibility of PVPS which has been known for decades. Had I been presented with true outcome risks and a true understanding of the longterm impact I would have walked out the door, and you should too. As Warren Buffett famously said, "Never ask a barber if you need a haircut" and never let a urologist sell you on a vasectomy.

First referred by my Primary Care in Fairfax, I continue being a patient even though travelling from Ashburn to Fairfax isn't easy.

I find him very attentive to my concerns and as an overseas traveler, he ensures I have what I need in my trips.
