I had been dealing with significant pain for a very long time and had repeatedly sought medical…read morecare without getting a clear explanation. Dr. M. Shapiro at Advanced Urology Institute's Snellville location was thorough, attentive, and willing to investigate further rather than simply dismiss what I was experiencing. He performed the appropriate testing and identified a physical issue that finally gave me a direction for further care. After years of uncertainty, that was a major turning point for me. I also want to acknowledge his clinical staff. The person assisting him was genuinely caring, patient, and compassionate, and that made a difficult experience much easier. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Shapiro and his team. When a physician takes the time to listen, investigate thoroughly, and help a patient finally move toward answers, that deserves recognition.

Everything went well from the ease of scheduling appointments to check out. The front desk staff was professional and prompt from uploading documents to getting him seen within 15 min of arrival Octavia, the nurse, was very sweet. She introduced herself and gave a bit of background about herself and the purpose of her role during his visit. She asked thorough questions and repeated his responses back to him for clarification. Dr. Shapiro came in 10 min after she entered the notes. He was very nice and polite. He asked follow-up questions that Octavia had previously asked for clarification on. He explained thoroughly why my dad was on specific medications and their role. He ordered bloodwork in which it was done in-house. He also ordered imaging (PET scan) and prescription refills. The Phlobotomist was sweet and funny! She and my dad hit it off well. She suggested he drink more water considering it was difficult to find a vein. My dad says well may I should have had a glass of wine! . She laughed and stated that it would not be a good idea As previously stated check out was good. On the way home I received a call from the office scheduling the PET scan. We were able to get the day/time we wanted. All in all, it was a very good visit! I'm very pleased with the staff and Dr. Shapiro. If you or a family member needs a Urologist, give them a call. From my understanding, there are other locations.

This practice is part of Advanced Urology, who has offices in Snellville (main), Decatur, and Johns Creek. They also have a great patient portal available to all patients. I saw Dr. Prabharasuth in the Decatur office for a second opinion on a surgical need and a medical issue and he was far superior to the other physician I saw from another practice. The only issue is that for surgery, I have to go the Snellville surgery center because the Decatur surgery center is not in-network with Ambetter. NPWH=The office staff, doctors, phone operators, billing department, and everyone in between are RIDICULOUSLY nice. I totally recommend this group to anybody.

My husband had a terrible abscess that caused him to be admitted to the hospital for two weeks. I am very fortunate he was able to contain the infection before it could spread throughout his body. During this process Dr. Patel kept me informed and was a great sounding board. He made himself accessible. Words cannot express our gratitude. This is my first time writing on a blog but I felt compelled to go on record and tell everyone that he is the Greatest Urologist out there. I also want to give kudos to his staff. Thanks, Reginald & Michelle McCoy

BEWARE!!! I was…read morecharged $723 for a visit that lasted less than 5 minutes. I barely sat down before the appointment was over. All that happened was a quick conversation and I was asked to pee in a cup. That's it. Before the appointment, I specifically asked the front desk for an upfront estimate with my insurance (United Healthcare) because I didn't want any surprise bills. They told me the estimated cost would be around $243, which I paid upfront at the office. Later I checked my itemized bill and saw the total charge was $723. My insurance paid $0, and now I'm being billed another $141.57 on top of the $243 I already paid. So somehow a 5-minute visit and urine sample equals $723. What's even more ridiculous is I was told self-pay would have been around $275, meaning using insurance actually made the visit hundreds of dollars more expensive. This kind of pricing feels extremely misleading. If the office would like to publicly explain how a 5-minute visit and urine sample justifies a $723 charge, I'd genuinely love to hear it.

Over 40 years seeing three of there urologists…read more I have had very bad experiences with them, on hold for 30 minute's then a person just took a message never a returned call this happened April and May, was trying to get Dr Kemper to contact the insurance company for a prior authorization E males sent, their portal does not work, Really bad when a Dr does not follow up on the paperwork that he promosed, Tried first few days in June to see if I could get through, sent an E Mail to the CEO and he did not respond. So after all the years I've been with them 30 years I now at 83 think I need to find another urologist Ga urology is going down the tube, in my case I had an uncaring urologist. Art

I had a biopsy yesterday and was supposed to on an antibiotic prior to the procedure. No antibiotic…read morewas prescribed. When I had the procedure I was told that an antibiotic would be called in that day. This is the day after and still no antibiotic and nobody picks up the phone at GA Urology. I also paid the bill in full yesterday and today I got a bill for more than Medicare stated I should pay. No answer from their billing department. Dr. Sharpe is a good surgeon, but there are serious problems at this facility. Nobody seems to be in charge here. If you check their responses to their negative reviews you will see that GA Urology states that they will reach out to you. They never do. It is just a standard meaningless statement to make it seem that they are being responsive. They are not. It is like the Wild West at this provider. I hope I don't get an infection due to lack of antibiotics.
