I was referred to Dr. Thompson because I was losing my erection within a couple of minutes after penetration. I achieved my initial erection using erectile dysfunction drug alprostadil injections for 3 years after Viagra stopped working after 10 years. It was determined that I had erectile dysfunction due to venous leakage where blood would leave my penis losing my erection and unable to have satisfactory intercourse. Dr. Thompson recommended that I have surgery to have an inflatable penile implant. She explained the procedure in depth. I was concerned that I would lose penis erection length. Dr. Thompson told me that I would not lose length and she made sure I was sized to the proper implant size. I decided to undergo the procedure and am glad I did. Dr. Thompson is an excellent physician and surgeon. I highly recommend her if you are considering a penile implant.

I couldn't have been more wrong. Dr. Nelles completely brushed my concerns off after my exam and proceeded to refer me to a pelvic floor therapist. I saw my PCP soon after and she was speechless when I told her he didn't prescribe a medication for me. She informed me about a drug that was perfectly suited to my needs and I literally cried in relief-- it's called tolterodine (sp?) and I can now run errands without stopping to use the restroom at every store. I no longer need to lay down to ease the pain. Why didn't the so-called specialist prescribe this for me? How come he couldnt spend 5 minutes discussing medication options?

Imagine experiencing the feeling of never being able to empty your bladder, having to urinate every…read more20-30 minutes, and having to wake-up out of a deep sleep 3-4 times a night in order to urinate. This describes what I was experiencing for roughly six months. This condition was causing me to be extremely irritable ( due to a lack of quality sleep) and less productive at work (frequent trips to the restroom). Due to my stubbornness, I let the condition persist until I could no longer live with the discomfort. Therefore, I made an appointment with my physician for an examination. My physician conducted a prostate test (I will spare you the details), diagnosed me with an enlarged prostate, and told me that I should reduce my water intake. In addition, she suggested that I take a medication called Flomax. This medication would suppress the symptoms, but had a myriad of side effects. After complaining that the medication was causing me to be extremely drowsy, my physician referred me to a urologist. Shortly after my conversation with my physician, I received a call from Dr. Golden's office. I scheduled my appointment, which was roughly a month and a half away (I assume that this is because he is a specialist). Leading up to the appointment I was extremely nervous and did not know what to expect. I advise anyone who may be in a similar situation to stay off of the internet at this time (WebMD almost sent me into a nervous breakdown). When I arrived (they ask that you arrive 30 minutes prior to your appointment), I was warmly greeted by Dr. Golden's assistant. Her temperament was very enthusiastic, personable, and soothed my nerves. After completing the new patient intake form, she brought me in to check my vitals and administer a urine culture. After doing the aforementioned tests, his assistant conducted an ultrasound of my bladder (to determine if I was emptying my bladder). Shortly after her departure, Dr. Golden entered the room. Although personable with a great sense of humor, he was very knowledgeable and asked the right probing questions. Dr. Golden explained to me that after providing the urine sample (which was 15 minutes prior to his arrival), there was roughly 12 ounces of urine remaining in my bladder. Therefore, it was determined that I was not fully emptying my bladder. In addition, Dr. Golden was able to narrow the diagnosis down to a condition called urethral stricture, which is a narrowing of the urethra. This is caused by an injury to the penis or scrotum, and causes a decrease in urine stream and discomfort while urinating. Afterwards, Dr. Golden's assistant directed me to a room where Dr. Golden would perform the most painful procedure that I have ever endured. Dr. Golden inserted a thin camera called a endoscope into my urethra. The camera would allow Dr. Golden to see the intricate details of my urethra. After inserting the camera, Dr. Golden pointed out that I had a significant amount of scar tissue restricting the flow of urine through my urethra. Hence why I had a weak urine flow and experienced difficulty emptying my bladder. Being that Dr. Golden's goal was to send me home with some relief, he proceeded to insert a flimsy, thin metal wire into my urethra. Dr. Golden used this instrument to clear the scar tissue blocking the areas. This extremely uncomfortable procedure lasted for roughly 20 minutes, and had me highly anticipating the moment when he and his assistant would remove the inserted devices. Shortly after the removal of the instruments, I made a bee-line for the restroom. This may sound ridiculous, but Dr. Golden and his assistant offered me one of the best Christmas gifts....the ability to urinate with no restrictions! My post-procedure urination was strong (stream) and fulfilling. I cannot put into words the discomfort that I experienced prior to this procedure; therefore, I will never take for granted the ability to urinate freely. Before sending me home, Dr. Golden and his assistant scheduled me for a Retrograde Cystography. So far, I have been sleeping through the night with less trips to the restroom and have been experiencing a healthy urine stream. Thank you Dr. Golden and your team for calming my nerves, listening to me, and providing me with some relief!

Scheduling an appointment has been a frustrating experience. After my grandpa was discharged from…read morethe hospital, I called immediately to arrange a follow-up appointment for three weeks later. The call went to voicemail, so I left my contact information and explained the need for the follow-up. No one returned my call all week. I tried again on Friday and finally got someone on the line, which seemed promising, but I was mistaken. She put me on hold and said, "You're on our list of people to call back." Another week has passed, and I still haven't heard anything, nor have they answered the phone. It's been two weeks since my initial call. I wouldn't recommend this office for patients who need follow-up care after being discharged. It's been incredibly stressful.

A patient in the waiting room said Javidan joked about the wait and said it was better than the alternative, death. Sadly Javidan has no bedside manner. When you try to explain the patients health issues he does not care. He had his assistant remove all chart info right in front of me. Having worked in the medical field myself I firmly believe in the big picture when caring for a patient. I was spoken to in a loud voice about why my father could not take two pills. I repeatedly told the doctor my father could not keep anything down. We had even gone to the ER for this. He did not care. My father had a bad fall before his next appointment. He was in pain and Javidan insisted on performing an in office procedure. I stepped out of room to only hear Javidan belittle and raise his voice my father. I heard "Your a hot mess! Do you want me to get your daughter? You are doing this procedure today!" It was elder abuse. His assistant came out of room to tell me I was taking good care of my father. I had the feeling the assistant was horrified by the treatment of my father. On our next visit Javidan kept complimenting me. It was so odd. My father passed away and as instructed I left a voicemail weeks prior cancelling an upcoming appointment. They called me to confirm and never heard my vm. I do not fault the staff as they can only control so much at this office. Javidan needs to rethink why he is in a profession that cares for others. Zero stars

I went into Nixons office in 2020 for kidney stones. Was scheduled for surgery and was told that I had to pay over $300 co-pay for the anesthesiologist prior to surgery? A stint was also inserted during the surgery. Office visit was 11/24 for post op and have the stint removed. I was told at the time that the surgery turned out to be not necessary due to the kidney stones location but would probably would have been at sometime...The skin had also grown over the stint and was painfully removed (without any medication. Ouch) Now we are done with the fun part. In 2022, I received a call from a credit agency saying that I was delinquent on a bill for $778.47 to them for the surgery. I have had Blue Cross/Blue Cross for over 30 years and have never had an issue with co-pays. I called the office and they said that they did all that they would and told me to deal with the Credit Agency. That was another issue. Not pleasant people. I refused to pay the extortion due to the fact I didn't owe it until 2024. For the sake of my credit score, I paid the ransom in full. $778.47 Fast forward to 2 weeks ago The same credit agency called me to say that I owed $365.55 due from the same procedure! 6 Years ago! Ok. Now I'm mad. Office says they changed their billing from in office to having Carson Tahoe do it. THEY HAVE NO RECORDS PRIOR TO 2023 ! BC/BS has no record of a claim for the surgery anywhere. He was/is in the group. The office is rude and unhelpful when they do answer. BC/BS says they will still pay it if the claim is sent. I cannot give this Office a passing grade on anything. From the "Doctor" to Abby, the self proclaimed "Lead" of she doesn't know what, are terrible and rude. I suggested that I could come into the office to show the information I have and we could discuss it. Abby said that would be considered a "threat" if I went there. I stated I would not come and that I didn't threaten anyone and that I was again being blackmailed, this time for $346.55, I stated that I am going to stand up for my principles and defy their incompetence, limitations and shortcomings. I wouldn't recommend them for anything. If I could give a "0", I would.
