I visited Dr. Brandeis' office for a circumcision revision on October 31, 2024. I was circumcised at the age of eight in the Philippines, which left me with significant scarring, wrinkles, and excess skin that I have always disliked. After conducting some research, I decided to undergo the revision procedure here. The pricing was very affordable compared to other quotes I received in the area, which ranged from $3,500 to $5,000 for a revision, including one estimate from an office in San Diego! It has now been two weeks since the procedure, and I just had my follow-up appointment with Dr. Brandeis to assess the healing process. So far, everything seems to be going very well--there's been no infection, and I am healing nicely. Many of the sutures have already been absorbed, as he uses absorbable sutures, and I must say his suturing skills are remarkable! I'm really glad I chose October 31 for my revision--I'm determined to conquer the No Nut November (NNN) challenge! My consultation and the procedure were done on the same day and took about an hour or so. It was performed under local anesthesia, and I didn't even feel the needle or the injection. Dr. Brandeis mixed lidocaine (an acidic compound) with sodium bicarbonate (a base compound) to neutralize the acidity, which eliminated the stinging and burning sensation during the injection. His office will prescribe you 12 Norco 5mg pills which you can pick up at your local drug store. The pain was tolerable for me, and I did not even pick up the prescription. I took 1000mg of Tylenol every 8 hours for 3 days and those were it. I highly recommend Dr. Brandeis for your circumcision or revision procedure. His staff is very friendly and helped me feel calm and at ease throughout the entire process. read more

What can I say? Certainly not enough. Dr. Brandeis has helped me completely turn my health around. I was originally referred to him by a very well-known doctor in the Danville area who is a personal friend. He said that Dr. Brandis is the ONLY doctor I should go to regarding urology issues. After a few appointments, I was impressed. I decided to buy his book titled "The 21st Century Man". Wow, what a book! I didn't just read the book. I grabbed a pen and a highlighter and I studied it. I actually took it to him to show him how deep I had gone. Amazing stuff that our doctors don't tell us. Also, a side benefit of having met him is the fact that he is an expert in ED and rejuvenative medicine. due to his guidance and expertise, I have lost weight, gained muscle, and I'm now sleeping better than I have in the last 20 years. My sex life has dramatically changed...what a thing to celebrate. I would not only recommend him, but I would highly recommend him. Due to our age differences... I am 70 years old... Seems to me he will be my doctor for the next 15 years if I'm so lucky. Five stars is all I could give him but otherwise I'd have given him seven!!! Also, his staff is amazing. Everybody cares and I feel welcome anytime I call or walk into his office. read more

I wanted to be in better health, so when I asked my Primary a few things, he answered but also suggested that I see Dr Brandeis in San Ramon. Well, that's my where I live, so I made an appointment. I met 1 on 1 with Dr Brandeis, who I learned was the top Urologist in the Bay Area for 6 years, and now practices as a Men's Health doc. Great! He asked a lot of questions to get to know me and the issues I wanted to address. He ended up showing me a presentation he built. He encouraged me in an extremely credible, sensible, and knowledgeable manner. It was just what I needed and how I needed to be spoken to. I was convinced that the time was NOW to make some changes, a lot of changes. He's also an author of a new book, "21st Century Man". Wow. I'm loving his book! It's way more than a medical "how to". It speaks to me on a "mind, body, spirit" way, being the best man that I can be. Frankly, it's a beautiful read that I will eventually read cover to cover. I've been a patient for just about 5 months. I've lost 35 pounds with 3 more to go for my goal weight, and I've gained muscle. I've had a number of other difficulties, and the procedures have either fixed or I've seen massive improvement and I believe I will be on my way to being "fixed". My commitment to myself: Be the best man I can be. I have amazing energy and continue to be highly motivated. * I joined a gym and working out every day * I'm eating high protein, low cal, and low carbs My special thanks to nurse Kate (so awesome), nurse Laura, and office guru, Kat. They are all wonderful for what they do. THANK YOU. I am so grateful for the new me. read more

Men need a doctor that tends to their needs Brandeis tries to help men with all the issues that men have and eventually will have read more

Simply did not respond. Submitted significant personal info on contact form via website (regret that). A week later I rec'd a text "Has anyone contacted you?". I responded "no not yet." ...and that was that, never any further contact. read more

First off, front desk is professional and responsive. I had circumcision for twice due to some errors on his part. During this time, I got infection. When I complained he agreed to redo it with some cost. We have agreed upon the payment of 500$ but then he couldn't schedule soon enough and the price went up. I would be happy to pay more if the result is satisfactory but even after 4 months post operation, the result is terrible. It is so ridiculous when you have to pay 750$ extra just to get bad experience and services. I do not usually leave review but I do not want others to have the same experience as mine! read more

After doing a bit of research, I decided to get my circumcision here because of the care and intention that Dr. Brandeis seemed to put into his online presence. Also, the idea of doing local anesthesia rather than general was highly appealing to me due to the risks and costs associated with general anesthesia. I couldn't be more happy with my choice and experience. The office staff were helpful and responsive. The office itself felt welcoming, warm, and professional with personal touches that offered a sense of humanity rather than a sterile medical facility. Dr. Brandeis himself had a calm and grounding presence and showed a genuine interest in getting to know me and my reasons for wanting a circumcision. I really have the sense that he cares about his patients and men's wellness as a field. The procedure itself was completely painless, and so far recovery has been much easier and less limiting than I thought it would be. The results are also great. Couldn't recommend enough read more

Very, very nice and clean office and attentive staff. Dr. Brandeis' treatment has worked wonders for me; I'm still somewhat young (in my early 30s), and my body responded very well to the program. Dr Brandeis is a true master and scientist when it comes to all things related to sexual wellness and male enhancement. I'm probably going to be a patient here for a long time to come read more

My regular urologist asked me why I--and other men, `continue to waste their money on Dr. Brandeis and his Gains wave treatments` and I told him it's because he told us we could get lasting improvement without pills. But sadly, my regular urologist was right. My money paid to Dr. Brandeis was a lot of wasted dollars. After the 4th treatment I expressed my concern that the treatments had done nothing for me, but he told me that it takes more time and sessions. So, another $1k and 3 sessions later and only then did he tell me to take a test for plaque in arteries. He should have had me test first before collecting all the considerable fees and wasting all my time. read more

Dr Brandeis and his staff are top notch, responsive, caring, and understanding...all wrapped up in an amazing office with high tech equipment. Dr Brandeis and his team helped me out after complications from a vas procedure at another physician's office. He didn't have to take me on as a patient but made the decision to step in and use his incredible experience as a urologist to assist me. It meant a great deal to me and my family; he picked me up and got me back on the path to feeling better during a very difficult/painful time. I will always be appreciative for his empathy, compassion, time, and excellent care. I can't recommend Dr Brandeis and his office highly enough. read more

Dr Brandeis is a unique doctor, in my opinion. Not only because he literally saved my life by diagnosing prostate cancer after another urologist missed it, but because the combination of his wide-ranging areas of expertise, caring nature, and warm, efficient office staff make being under his care and supervision a very confidence-building experience and relationship. Dr Brandeis has taken much personal time to help me. If I'm in the office, he frequently asked me to come into his office and shows me the latest he's working on or treatments to help me. I've never had such personal access to a doctor, ever. And his staff is just wonderful - they process bills and requests immediately and pick up the phone on the first ring. The overall effect is just an exceptional experience. I unreservedly recommend the doctor for any urological needs. Paul read more

Great experience! Dr Brandeis really communicates well not to mention his urological knowledge is second to none He helped me make a very difficult decision affecting my health with straight answersWhen I left his office it was a lot easier to decide what I wanted to do The other Drs I've seen on this situation left me with more questions than answers when I left there office read more

I have suffered from ED for as long as I remember. Dr Brandeis was the first urologist to look for and identify the root cause. His diagnosis and treatment was life changing. read more

i have found my doctor! FINALLY! Dr. Brandeis is the best in his specialty. I wasted time at other clinics where there was no doctor. I had him fix my problems and would have saved thousands had I found Dr. Brandeis first. Make him your first stop. read more

Dr. Judson Brandeis may just be the best doctor I have ever had in the 72 years of my life. I have seen him a few times now, and I am very pleased with the real interest he has in my health, the excellent care and advice he has provided me with, and the results I am experiencing. I am not going to discuss my personal medical needs here on the internet except to say they have been challenging. Dr. Brandeis made me feel very comfortable and open in talking to him. He has an easy going personality along with a positive outlook on what can be accomplished. Sitting in the beautiful waiting room he created, which includes an authentic guitar once owned by Eric Clapton. I feel like I have a doctor who cares enough to create an atmosphere that expresses and shares his personality and makes me feel really comfortable being there. I feel very fortunate to call him, with his very impressive medical education and years of experience as a top level urologist, my doctor in this special area of medicine. And besides all of this, he is a super nice person. I am really happy to be able to share my thoughts about Dr. Brandeis. Sincerely Keith read more

Dr. Brandeis and his staff are super friendly and incredibly professional. I recently had my vasectomy done at their offices, and it could not have gone better. The procedure was very smooth and they made me feel comfortable and at ease. I would recommend them as a great option for a variety of men's health purposes. read more

Six months ago my brother started losing weight and looking more fit. I asked him what he was doing and he told me about Dr. Brandeis's office. I finally worked up the courage to visit. What an experience. First of all the waiting room is like a sophisticated man cave with really good music playing. Dr. Brandeis spent more time with me than my last 10 doctors visit combined. And I felt like he listened to me. He put together an incredible plan for weight loss, muscle building, hormone replacement and bedroom rejuvenation. It has been Three months and it's been 30 years since I have felt this good. The technology he has in the office is next level. I had not even heard of most of the stuff. All I can say is he changed my life, and me and my wife could not be happier. read more

I recently consulted with Dr. Brandeis and was pleasantly surprise by his kind demeanor and his ability to clearly explain potential treatment. I was seen on a timely basis as well. I read some of the previous negative reviews and was very surprised as my experience with Dr Brandeis as well as staff were exceptional. read more

Best doctor we've ever seen! He genuinely cares and listens patiently. We never felt rushed and felt that we received great advice and solutions to our concerns. For once, my husband and I felt like we could completely trust in this doctors diagnosis. Dr. Brandeis is fantastic! I would recommend him to everyone! The office staff is also very professional and helpful. We experienced no wait time, was helped as soon as we got there for our appointment. read more

Dr. Brandeis is always respectful and responsible. I went in for a Vasectomy consultation and learned so much from him about my health and well-being. I have never sat down and talked to a doctor about my health for so long. He gave me solutions and made me feel cared for. I would definitely trust him and will recommend my family and friends. read more

I was very sick for a year and a half while under the care of a local Urologist. I had a couple kidney stones trapped in my Ureter during this time, not to mention there was a blockage in my Ureter, which was not allowing the stones to pass freely. I was getting Kidney Infection after Kidney Infection for the whole year and a half and constantly taking very strong antibiotics and pain medication. I was very sick off and on for a year and a half and the stones did not pass. The Urologist that I was seeing locally for a year and half, did not address the issue except to tell me to keep drinking lots of water. Finally, after a year and a half, I was sick of being sick. My daughter decided to call Pacific Urology (which was 70 miles away) to see if they would be an option for me to get the help I needed. I called Pacific Urology and explained what was going on and that I needed to find a Urologist that would help me. Right off, the person that I spoke with seemed genuinly concerned with my issue and very compassionate as well. She right away set me up with an appt with Dr. Judson Brandeis. When I arrived for my initial appt. with Doctor Brandeis, I was treated very nicely and the staff seemed to be very professional and on top of everything. I knew I was in the right place and maybe I would get some help. I waited only a few minutes and then brought back to the exam room.It was only a two minute conversation with Dr. Brandeis, then he said to me, that my problem was easily corrected, and he then led me to the proper staff for them to go ahead and get the ball rolling for surgery to remove the stones. I could not believe that I was finally going to be helped! Pacific Urology did all the pre-authorization through my insurance company. I had the surgery within a couple weeks and I feel great! Everything went seamless. Dr. Brandeis removed the two stones that were caught in my Ureter as well as removed a lump that may have caused the stones from passing freely. He also had everything biopsied and it all came out okay, not cancerous. My year and half ordeal had ended. Dr. Brandeis has got to be the best Urologist around and he is most definitly on top of his game as is his staff he has surrounded himself with. I cannot thank Pacific Urology enough, especially Dr. Brandeis. I would highly recommend Dr. Brandeis to anyone that has to see a Urologist, he is the BEST! read more

The waiting times are outrageous. Appointment was at 10:15am and at 11:45, we r still waiting to see Dr Brandeis. The worst part is this is the second visit we had and the first visit was even worse, 2 hours to even be ushered into an exam room. If you have the misfortune of being referred to this office, be prepared for a marathon wait. read more

Same complaints as everyone (waiting forever in office, rude, sarcastic doctor, cold, etc.) except one thing. He violently violated me (doing a "procedure") in a cold sadistic manner while staring me in the eyes while I told him what he was doing was excruciatingly painful and begged him to please stop. After the third time asking him to stop he finally did. I was initially embarrassed, but I have recently been considering legal action, as he evidently crossed the line over and over again with my wife as witness. She later described it as witnessing "rape". I was in tears. Please do not support this person for your own sake. read more

I usually do not give reviews but the way I was treated by both the office staff and this doctor needed to be shared. I arrived 10 min early for ny appt waited while they helped another patient filled out paperwork and handed it in 5 min after my appt time. I sat in the waiting room for one hour when they called me to the front desk to inform me it would be at least one more hour as I needed to wait for two more patients to be seen because my paperwork was turned in late!!!!! I rescheduled and when I came back the doctor was incredibly rude and treated me with sarcasm. Very unprofessional. I wish I would have viewed his reviews first as it seems others have had issues here as well. I think he must have paid someone off to get doctor of the year awards. In 45 years of going to a doctor I have never been treated this way. Oh and he ran a urine culture before my appt and his staff never notified me they sent in a prescription. I get a call from Walgreens thinking its a mistake. Nope he called me in only 5 days worth of a required 14 day course for a bacteria that can kill you thru septicemia. Unbelievable.... had to find a doctor quickly to continue medication as stopping mid course can cause the bacteria to flourish and become resistant. Rude and incompetent is the rating I give you Dr Brandeis and staff! read more

Dr. Brandeis and his very friendly, helpful staff consistently provided great care, information, and worked with me financially so I could get the treatment I needed. I felt like I was treated human to human, instead of rushed doctor to vulnerable patient. If there were more than 5 stars, i would add those to my highest recommendation! read more

I had a procedure performed by Dr. Brandeis, Pub0-vaginal sling. Dr. Brandeis explained in detail the procedure and what expectations for my recovery. Everything went accordingly and I was very pleased. Dr. Brandeis and his staff were professional and very pleasant to deal with. I would recommend Dr. Brandeis to friends and family. S. Eldridge read more

I was referred to Dr. Brandeis by my primary doctor. I was super nervous at first seeing a male doctor, but his kind and gentle manner was very comforting. He explained everything clearly, and addressed all of my concerns. He really knows his stuff, and had a great sense of humor, too. I definitely would recommend him! read more

Experience has not been great.. they don't call back when they say they will. The dr. needs to see you to say, it's time to schedule another CT Scan. But the worst was having my husband do a biopsy at the hospital and it was not conclusive. Ok.. maybe that wasn't Brandeis' fault but when we went in to find out if my husband had cancer or not, Brandeis sits down and starts reading his file. We had to wait two weeks to hear whether or not he has cancer and the Dr. decides to open the file for the first time when we got there? Then he needed to ask a question to the person who did the biopsy so he didn't even give us an answer that day. Anyway.. has not been good. Seems like he is the only Dr in the area that specializes in kidney problems. read more

I'm surprised to see all the negative feedback. Not in my case. I had to see Dr. Brandeis for a procedure and his performance was exceptional. He is the best at what he does. Yes I do recommend seeing him. read more

Before my surgical procedure (Prostiva) even with medication (Proscar), I still was having urination problems as a result of an enlarged prostrate. Dr. Brandies did a great job of reviewing the pros and cons of the Prostiva procedure. I chose the procedure based on his extensive experience over the years performing this particular procedure. I have to say, it's the best decision I ever made. Dr. Brandies was careful to review what I could expect during and after the operation so there were no surprises. Also, his staff was great. They were attentive, pleasant and professional. It's been 3 months since the Prostiva procedure; it is no understatement that my quality of life has been markedly improved, and I'm back to my "ol' used to be". Thank you Dr. Brandeis. Steven G. read more

Dr. Judson Brandeis is as good as it gets. He is thorough, caring, gentle, experienced, and knowledgeable. I have been going to him since 2003 and would highly recommend him! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Judson Brandeis for five years. I personally think he is the best Urologist in the state. I have had three major treatments including prostate surgery and he has done a great job. He was very concerned about me and my progress, and that is reassuring. I would highly recommend him to anyone. In fact, I have already done so and some of my friends are now going to him. I have checked with nurses and other docotrs and they all hold him in very high regard as the best . Mike read more

I've been more than satisfied based on my 8-10 years of experience with Dr. Brandeis. I had a prostate biopsy from him about 6 years ago, and a PVP laser procedure for my BPH (reduction of an enlarged prostate using a laser procedure) about 8 months ago. In both instances I have been well pleased with his knowledge and the procedure I received. He is always very courteous with me, as is his staff. I am pleased to be able to recommend him to others, and have done so more than once. read more

Excellent doctor & surgeon. It is a busy office but as far as the medical expertise goes there is no one I would rather have in the operating room than Dr. Brandeis. He is brilliant, careful and state-of-the-art in his skills as a physician and surgeon. His "bedside manner" I find very professional and thorough. I've asked for his 'opinion' and he replied 'I don't guess'.... meaning more tests were needed. In my opinion, you will not find a more knowledgeable, competent, skilled urologist anywhere in Northern California. I recommend Dr. Brandeis without hesitation as one of the top surgeons in the Bay Area. read more

Great Doctor. Feel very comfortable. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

I was referred to Dr. Brandeis by my primary physician for a vasectomy. After an initial visit, I scheduled the procedure and was given clear, specific preparation instructions. The vasectomy was performed professionally and again, was given clear, specific follow up instructions. I came back about 6 weeks later, dropped off a sample and I am now sperm free (a swimming pool without any swimmers) - great job Dr. read more

I saw Dr. Brandeis following complications from gynecological surgery. He pinpointed my problem right away and even though the news was not good, at least I knew what was happening and what to do about it.. He has been attentive, professional, and sensitive to the issues of women. Many urologists seem to have difficulty dealing with women, but Dr. Brandeis does not. I would highly recommend him. read more

I am extremely pleased with the professional care and expertise that I experienced at Pacific Urology and particularly the care provided to me by Dr. Judson Brandeis. Dr. Brandeis and his staff were very accommodating to my scheduling needs and I was informed about the procedure (lithotripsy) and what to expect in very reasonable detail. Needless to say, my procedure went flawlessly. I do not ever expect all things in my medical care to go perfectly. I am extremely grateful when they do and I believe that Dr. Brandeis made every attempt to provide a successful outcome for me that came to pass. read more

Dr. Judson Brandeis performed a cystoscopy on me, which went very quick, was easy, and best of all quite painless. I was prepped, inspected, and had my results discussed all in about 30 minutes. Dr. Brandeis is a younger doctor, but very up-to-date on all new procedures. He took the time to answer all my questions. I would recommend him. His office surgery scheduler, Molly, worked a scheduling miracle in order to get me into an earlier appointment than I would have had normally. read more

Started peeing blood clots one day. Rushed to Pacific Urology to see Dr. Brandeis. They couldn't see me. Referred me to the ER where they took care of me and said to schedule a follow-up appointment with Dr. Brandeis in a few days which I did. After sitting in the waiting room for an hour beyond my appointment time I was asked if I had gotten a CT scan. I said "no". They said the CT scan people were supposed to have called me to schedule an appointment. Shouldn't someone from Pacific Urology have called me to tell me what was going on? Said Dr. Brandeis couldn't see me until I had the CT scan. I said I wasn't leaving until I saw Dr. Brandeis. When I did and asked him why he hadn't communicated with me about my blood clot issue he said that he prefers to only communicate via email...apparently no message you leave for him gets passed on. As a patient I expect my doctor to at least acknowledge he/she is aware that I have a problem. Since this appointment I have been contacted by Pacific Urology to change my next appointment indicating Dr. Brandeis is no longer associated with their practice. Hmmm. read more
