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.

I'm thrilled to say that the surgery was successful and that all of the post-operation meetings with Dr Schenk have been reassuring and encouraging. I feel that he is an excellent surgeon and I highly recommend him.

This is going to be a long post but I promise you, if you have any question, doubts, or want to…read moreknow what you are in for by putting your heath in Dr. Ayoub's hands, it is worth the read. My story starts over 12 years ago, after I had my one and only baby boy. I had terrible periods but I was told that was just my body getting back to normal after having had a child, they put me on the pill to help regulate it. As a new mom I was tired, sometimes painfully and mind numbingly so, but hey what new mom isn't, right? I started suffering from HORRENDOUS UTI's to the point where I was put on a mild antibiotic all the time to keep them at bay. All my symptoms were always chalked up to being a mom, then being a working mom, then it was that I was a working mom of an active boy and I was in grad school. I always had stomach issues, I went to 3 GI's and had more endoscopies then I care to count and no one could figure out what was wrong with me. I finally was told early in the year that this was just my cross to bear and that we would work on finding a combination of medicines that would help keep things as ok as possible. I was so miserable and in sooooooo much pain. My son turned 12 in March, and I have been dealing with this since right after he was born, OVER A DECADE. Enter Dr. Ayoub... You must understand that when I say he saved me I am not being dramatic, I thought I was going to go insane for how horrible I felt yet was always told nothing was wrong with me. He listened, and after one conversation where he put all my history together and asked me questions and took the time to understand, HE gave me the answer. Endometriosis. If you can believe it I had never heard of it and had no idea what it was, I now know that is what I have dealt with for at least 12 years. The mess he cleaned up inside of me was epic, the organ adhesion was terrible, the lesions were on everywhere, and it explains EVERYTHING that was wrong with me for over a decade. I am done having kids, and I have known this for many years so this was the right choice for me, so to put an end to the pain I had a full hysterectomy. I got to keep my ovaries and but everything else came out. I am writing this 2 weeks post that surgery and even though I am still recovering I can't begin to put into words the absolute wonder and amazement I feel at not being in the pain I have lived with for sooooo long; it had just become my normal. Dr. Ayoub took the time to look at the whole picture, the same picture so many other doctors had had before him but he took the time to find the root cause not just try and find a quick fix. He gave me options, counseled me through them and set realistic expectations. I will never be able to fully articulate how amazing he is and how this process has changed my life in a way I didn't think was possible for me. Dr. Ayoub from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU.

Don't go to this man - go somewhere else where the doctor will actually care…read more He will literally not listen to you, and will just talk over you the entire time. As all the other bad reviews list, he is a huge narcissist and has the worst bedside manners I've ever had from a doctor. During my colposcopy I brought my fiancé with me and Ayoub just verbally backhanded attacked him the entire time, and saying a bunch of "all men right" to me comments, ABOUT my fiancé who was there supporting me??? that made me so confused and disgusted all at once. He doesn't even remember half the shit you talk about in each visit and it's like he forgets what he is saying or doing each visit when it comes to you and your well being. You can send him previous visits/notes from other visits and he won't even read them. He is incredibly condescending and fear mongering. Just avoid.

Its funny but prior to getting hit with nasty urinary tract infections one starts to learn there way around there bladder and kidney in no long fashion. You have to dig in and study; see what is going on and often have to make important decisions about your care. Dr. Fialk staff are some of the most cordial you will find anywhere. Things flow smoothly in this practice. Prescription requests are acted on without delay. And most importantly, when your ill, Dr. Fialk usually calls you back often times in less than a few minutes, even on labor day weekend. Folks, if you're in need of these types of services then Urologic Surgeons of NO VA should definitely be considered. You will not be disappointed.

Finding a good doctor is hard, espically when everyone has thier own opinions. Ultimately, I am…read morevery happy with Dr. Arnold and her staff. I was referred to her by my regular doctor. The staff is helpful. I forgot the receptionist name but she tries to answer your questions as well as possible and very politely. Her medical assistants are very kind. They will call you and relay information to you. You can trust them as they sit in the room with Dr. Arnold and they are very knowledgeable in the field. If they are not sure on something, they will ask Dr. Arnold. Victoria is great! Dr. Arnold herself listens and thinks outloud. She will not jump to conclusions or seem rushed. In the end, she performed surgery and my life inhibiting episodes have been controled! Her office look is outdated, but I am not there to be impressed by that aspect. I did have to wait but c'mon- where do you not have to wait? This is not the nail salon. A good doctor will have other patients besides you (remember you are waiting for them to leave. Would you want your doctor to rush on you?) She did move my surgery time up which is fine since they told me to take the whole day off. Her surgery days are Tuesdays and Thursdays. So your appointments will usually be Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. They have the text reminders for appointments if you choose that method which is nice. Overall, I am pleased. She has had many awards and she is a very smart lady. I am glad she helped me. Keep drinking lots of water and be nice to your doctor everyone!

Nurse/admin staff is as usual. His office in the building was a little hard to get to. The details: Dr Basile's nonchalant and calming demeanor exemplify the ease at which he executes his work-solidifying his vast experience and how routine this work is for him. During the procedure we chatted about what was being done, small social banter to ease my mind, and in 30 minutes flat I was out and taking the weekend off. First visit for a consult, was a simple walk-through of my decision, risks, and what encompassed the procedure. Nurse/admin staff was attentive and straightforward. I was lost in the beginning, trying to find his office; it's in the basement down a narrow hallway. Second visit for the procedure, the office was busier and my appointment started 20 minutes later than planned. Nonetheless, schedule aside, the procedure was executed as planned and I just had to recover over the weekend. I will definitely go to Dr. Basile in the future for any other urology related inquiries or concerns.

Dr. Basile is very thorough and thoughtful and was willing to schedule me in on a typically non surgery day, due some some extenuating circumstances on my part. I greatly appreciated this and the work he did.

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.

They show a level of care and compassion that you so rarely ever deal with in a doctors office anymore, you are not just a number to them, you are a person, and they care about making you whole and better. Wonderful people.
