He thoroughly arranged the necessary tests, including MRI, biopsy, and PSMA PET/CT, which led to a clear and timely diagnosis. Because I was concerned about the risk of infection, I specifically requested a transperineal (TP) biopsy, and Dr. Shinghal was very receptive and performed it without issue. I truly appreciated how he listened to my concerns and accommodated my request. After the cancer was confirmed, he took the time to clearly explain the available treatment options, discussing both the benefits and potential concerns of each. This helped me make an informed and confident decision about my treatment. His recommendation of Dr. Yao for surgery was excellent and made a meaningful difference in my overall care and outcome. Dr. Shinghal is professional, thoughtful, and genuinely patient-centered. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy urologist.

When I got there I had two young girls follow me everywhere. They said I needed a urinalysis and then told me I needed a physical exam where the doctor inserts his fingers Into me. I let them know I was not comfortable with this given I was on my menstrual cycle. They both made strange faces, left, then t came back and told me the doctor insisted it get done or I can't be checked today. I was so angry given I brought him all my results, ct scans and we did a urinalysis. I hesitantly agreed since I was not feeling well and as I was changing, without knocking, both girls walked into the room. They didn't even apologize and opened the door wide. They proceeded to do something then left while I'm sitting there half naked. When it was time for the check, the doctor came in and was immediately smug about my symptoms. While checking me both girls stood and stared up the curtain which was so uncomfortable. After the test, the doctor came back and said he couldn't be sure it was a kidney infection and gave me some random medicine samples. I asked if I could get the results of the urinalysis and he said I could call if needed. Well I called and emailed twice, and never got a response about the urinalysis results. Needless to say I was traumatized and angry. I did not know about my next appt and did not get any notification it was coming up (I of course would've canceled). And now I get a bill for 50 dollars for missing it. I went to a normal urologist, who never had to insert their fingers in me, who did everything the way he was supposed to and yes I did have a bad infection. AVOID!!!!

Dr. Hsu and his nurse Cynthia are a great team. They are both very kind, caring, patient, and knowledgeable. They always listened to and answered all of our questions.

My father was always called in very close to his scheduled appointment time, and he was seen shortly thereafter. My father is recovering from his surgery, and he is on the road to recovery. I would highly recommend Dr. Hsu to anyone seeking the services of a very good Urologist.

He reviewed my dad's past medical history and the medication he was taking before seeing us. During our visit, he listened attentively and was patient when explaining things to us. My dad was very happy to have found Dr. Hsu and we have continued to see him since. It really felt like Dr. Hsu understands the patient's needs and cares about his patients! On a different note, Dr. Hsu also speaks Chinese Mandarin and Spanish fluently. He was speaking Mandarin with my dad while explaining some of the stuff. I highly recommend Dr. Hsu as a urologist.

They told me that I would have to endure it for the rest of my life. After looking online for other options, I was fortunate to find doctor Sethi. For the first time, I felt like somebody cared about my situation and had the ability to improve it. Doctor Sethi did several examinations and imaging to determine the cause of my suffering. He recommend the Rezume Procedure. I had to pay for the procedure and related tests myself since Kaiser didn't offer it. Although there is some short-term discomfort with the procedure, the long-term results are well worth it. It is an excellent middle-ground between medications and more invasive surgery. I am having to readjust to not having to plan my life around being near a restroom. Doctor Sethi is not only highly skilled but also very personable and caring. I recommend him very highly for any urological complaints.

Bittersweet feelings about this doctor…read more He was very informative about pointing out and showing proof of the incompetence of ValleyCare Medical Center radiologists and another doctor. He affirmed when my family has experienced with the VC radiologists; for the most part with my family's care that they just cannot read X-Rays correctly. Some horrible and dangerous errors have been made by VC's radiologist at our expense...incredible. Beware of that issue. He was more helpful than ANY of the many doctors assigned my care during hospital stays. He didn't do any "ass covering" for doctors who had messed up my care. That is very appreciated by my entire family. Big loss of stars regarding respect for our time. My husband was by my side for most of the experiences with Dr. Schmidt, including taking time off from work. Not happy about Dr. Schmidt's disregard for our time. When hospitalized, he was many hours late visiting me to release me from the hospital. During in-office visits, he left a lobby filled with patients waiting and waiting and waiting. First visit- the lobby wait was about an hour and a half. There was also a long wait in the exam room. During my second visit, I became very frustrated after waiting in the hallway for the staff to return from lunch, waiting in the lobby and then waiting in the exam room. The exam room wait alone was an hour. After that full hour wait, I got dressed and asked a receptionist if the doctor was even IN the office. She answered that he was not there, nor would he answer the several pages she made to him. I asked for my co-pay refund and happily walked out of his office. Our time is JUST as important as any doctor's time.

My dad was nervous about going to Dr. Schmidt for a urological exam, as he hadn't been to a urologist in decades. Like many doctors' offices, you end up waiting a bit once you arrive at Dr. Schmidt's office, but it was fairly comfortable and the wait to start the exam wasn't terribly long. The only complaint we had about this part of the visit is that the front desk people can be a bit brusque and abrupt. They weren't rude, but they weren't welcoming and warm either. A bit of charm would help. The doctor was incredibly thorough and patient with my father. He spent close to an hour talking to my father and mother about my father's medical history, what kind of problems he was experiencing and other matters to give him a full understanding of what he was working with. It was refreshing to see a doctor take his time to really get to know his patient. My dad found Dr. Schmidt to be personable, professional and warm. After that, the doctor did a physical exam and gave us his overview of the medical situation and a proposed plan of action to help my dad. It's still early in the process, but after the first office visit we are very pleased to have found Dr. Schmidt.

A few visits of this, and I gave up.

My husband was seriously bleeding from his prostate and was requiring blood and these big bags of water. He was having a hard time with blood clots and in the evening on Call urologists would have to come. Dr Saleh was trying real hard to get him in for an operation and finally, one evening when he was not the on call Dr he came and said we need to do an emergency surgery. He afterwards told me he couldn't stop all the bleeding but he tried real hard but he was worried that his heart which needed a valve couldn't handle more surgery. Nachum coded when he was recovering. I recall meeting the Dr the next day after being up most of the night and having a full day of treatment I met the Dr in ICU and I asked him would he finally be able to get some rest and he said, "no, his 5 year old son had a science project that he submitted. The Dr treated him kindly and when my hubby who was in the hospital for a month was taking it badly he would just talk to him for 5-10 minutes. Also, in Aug 2020 he caught COVID before vacines. Putting a catheter was always tricky for something they called a secret package but the Dr had a family emergency and before he left he took care of my hubby. Dr. Saleh is the best, kind, caring, very knowledgable Dr. and we have been blessed to have him as my hubby's urologist. There is a comment by an Albert M. and truly it does not seem like we are talking about the same Dr. The World in my opinion is a better world because it has such an incredible Dr. This is long overdue but I am so glad to be doing it.

My experience with the so called Weiwei Xu was absolutely infuriating. The conduct I witnessed from Xu was completely unacceptable, shocking, and downright disgusting in any healthcare environment. Weiwei Xu made insensitive and cruel comments about a patient with a health condition. In a medical setting, where patients are vulnerable and come seeking care and support, this behavior is inexcusable. I honestly don't understand how someone with this background was allowed to become a provider. Weiwei Xu's credentials include: Temple University, an internship at St. Vincent Hospital of NYC, and a residency at New York Medical College and yet, the professionalism I observed fell far below the standards expected of any medical professional. After two decades in healthcare, I can say with certainty that this is NOT the standard patients deserve. I gave this facility one star only because zero--or less--is not an option. I will never return, and I strongly urge leadership to address this lack of professionalism immediately. Patients deserve compassion, respect, and dignity not mockery or cruelty.
