Andrew Grollman is THE WORST Urologist I've ever met. He's extremely arrogant, rude, belittling,…read moredisrespectful, insensitive, pushy, and doesn't deserve to be a doctor at all. He's a HUGE WASTE of money, time, effort, and energy.... I've been experiencing severe pain in my right side for 2 weeks. I went to the Emergency Room and when they took a CAT scan, the Radiologist found scattered lesions in my right kidney. The hospital gave me pain medicine until I could get an appt with a urologist. My mother's mother passed away from kidney cancer and it started when she was around my age now, so there's a history here.
Thankfully an appt became available within three days of going to the ER, so I was looking forward to seeing Andrew Grollman (I refuse to call him doctor). I hadn't taken any pain medicine that day so he can push down on the area where I'm having pain, gauge it on a scale of 1-10, then talk with me about treatment from there... Nope! He came into the room with the nurse, who actually held the door open and didn't close it for privacy.
Then Andrew Grollman DID NOT ask me to show him the location of the pain, how much it hurt, how long have I've been experiencing it... Instead, HE sat down on the patient bed while I sat in a chair. He quickly told me that he looked at my records and said, "It's nothing," and, "I shouldn't be feeling any pain."... I was a half hour early for my appt and he was acting like I was an hour late. He also acted like I didn't know what I was talking about. I showed him where the pain was and described my symptoms. He LITERALLY didn't care and kept trying to convince me that "it's nothing."
Well, if it was "nothing," then I wouldn't have spent 8 hours in the Emergency Room, I wouldn't be in pain going on for 3 weeks now, and I really don't consider "multiple lesions in my kidney" to be nothing.
When I tried to talk about my condition, he kept cutting me off and repeating himself. He talked over me, he talked down to me, he wasn't respectful, he had absolutely no bedside manner, and REALLY didn't care that I was in pain that is now at a level 14.
So now I have to put more time, money, effort, and energy into finding and going to another urologist. Even worse, I have to be in pain that is getting progressively worse by the day for longer than I need to be and should be. I'm writing this review to warn everyone else to not make the mistake I did of relying on Andrew Grollman to care about you and help your condition. Save yourself the trouble and find another urologist.
