I was dumbstruck. How did he do that?? Why was UCSF so painful? does it have something to do with it being a teaching hospital? saving on anesthesia? (not being sarcastic). I will confess, I was not going to tolerate the snarky nurse/attendant. impatient, would not replace my torn gown, no consideration for modesty, at one point snickering at me.

Those doctors focused on treating the inflection and not the overall issue which caused me to become resistant to several antibiotics. I was losing hope, thinking I was always going to have ongoing issues for the rest of my life (I was 24 at the time). I was more than desperate to find alternate solutions. I found him over yelp and took a chance. He took my concerns very seriously and recommended an over the counter capsule, d mannose, and a couple of in office procedures. It's been almost over 10 years since I've seen him and I haven't had any more issues at all! I am so thankful for his treatment and encouragement. You want to find doctors like him, who treat the overall issues without taking the easy way and prescribing medication as a fix all. Thank you so much for your care.

Dr. Caro is engaging & doesn't make one feel rushed during the visit, so there's that. He did,…read morehowever, 'diagnose' something that was then totally quashed by today's visit to an ob-gyn. Her words with respect to Caro's opinion: to a carpenter, everything looks like a hammer. Dr. Caro could also not offer any real explanation for present symptoms, but cautioned me to not ride my bike, my primary mode of transport, for the duration. It all felt a bit like guess-work, a.k.a. what I'd been doing in the confines of my own home prior to seeking treatment. A return visit to Dr. Caro is now not forthcoming. The two receptionists I dealt with were, sort of, two sides of the same coin: one was personable, efficient & present; the other one had an off-putting, distracted manner. The best bit was when she coughed directly & at length into the telephone receiver after asking me a question. Spoiler alert: I had to repeat the answer. After getting the usual who-are-you info. out of the way, I was told this: you'll be asked for a urine sample, so come prepared! I took that to mean that there would be no water fountain in the office & I had better schlep my own water to the appointment-which I did. Upon entering the office, I immediately saw a water cooler set up with cups for patients' use & I thought to myself, duh, it's a urologist's office, dummy. In addition to being told to come prepared, I was also told (in response to my direct question) that this office does indeed accept Blue Cross. My scheduled visit, not two days later, included the following information: as it's the beginning of the year, you may or may not receive a bill for our services. We may or may not be in network (for Blue Cross users). Had I known that at the outset, I would have gone elsewhere. -not keen to potentially pay up to 300 bucks for a urine test/urethra check. The office space itself was tidy & welcoming. --magazines, background music, art on the walls, etc. The medical building is easy to find, located in downtown San Mateo. Dr. Caro's office is located on the ground floor. Bike parking is ample.

Dr. Caro is the lucky urologist who performed my vasectomy. He was very informative and answered…read moreall my questions in the consultation appointment. Then there's a mandatory waiting period before the operation (to avoid buyer's remorse?). The operation itself was brief and relatively painless. I only felt the needle for the first Novocaine shot, and I've felt worse shots at the dentist. The procedure lasted about 45 minutes, just the doctor and me, chatting and listening to music. This is way preferable to the woman's equivalent operation, which involves an OR, anesthesiologist, serious recuperation, etc. When I got home I applied ice packs (OK, frozen peas) as instructed and didn't have any swelling and only minor pain. The scars immediately after the surgery looked pretty bad, and some bruising developed. I'm kind of glad it was a holiday the day after the procedure, but I was back to work (sitting at a computer) two days after. I felt OK, but took it easy and didn't climb stairs for a few days. The bruising disappeared in a week and the scars took about three weeks to completely disappear. The stitches dissolved and didn't require another visit to take out. Full, um, function returned in a week as the doctor estimated. Dr. Caro is friendly and professional, and obviously knows his stuff. I'd recommend him to anyone contemplating this procedure.

Then she calls back and says the doctor doesn't think it's an emergency but I could go to the emergency room if you think so. Yes I felt it was an urgent problem or I wouldn't have bothered with this ridiculous exercise of trying to see the doctor. I have seen this Doctor for years, what a complete failure on him and his office. The emergency room is overflowing with sick people, a 10 minute appointment would have helped me tremendously.
