Dr. Bui has been thorough and kind in diagnosing and treating my prostate cancer. He was recommended to me by another man who had a prostatectomy with no subseuqnt urinary leakage or incontinence, nor sexual dysfunction (unlike most men I have met or read about). Dr. Bui uses a nerve-sparing technique. Since my prostate removal, I have had no leakage, incontinence or loss of sexual function. He and his staff are available and attentive, welcoming and caring. Dr. Bui follows patients post surgically for ten years, evidence of his thoroghness. I cannot recommend Dr. Bui highly enough. read more

Amazing doctor who took time out of his busy schedule to take care of me. Very patient and made me feel very comfortable because I was so nervous. He is easy to communicate to and is so understanding. If there were 7 stars on this app I would give him an 8. Thank you Dr. Bui for being an amazing doctor, need more like you out there. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Bui for 6 years. Last year I had prostate surgery performed by Dr Bui. The outcome was excellent. I am 1 year post op with a complete recovery. Prior to surgery Dr Bui reviewed all of the treatment options available to me and all of the risks involved with each of the choices. He was thorough, objective and professional. Dr Bui was originally referred to me by two physicians who also are patients of his. The staff supporting the doctor is excellent. They are caring and professional. If you are considering surgery or general urologic care I would highly recommend Dr. Bui. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Matthew Bui for several months and my treatment has included a diagnostic evaluation, a biopsy, and a major surgical procedure and follow-up. My experience has been an excellent one highlighted by caring and informative office visits, and reassuring surgical encounters for both a biopsy and major surgical procedure. Throughout my encounters with Dr. Bui he has been straightforward and has presented options for care and results in a manner that has inspired my confidence in the course of treatment and potential outcomes. Without question I would recommend Dr. Bui to anyone in need of Urological care. read more

My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Dr Bui performed a miracle. I thank GOD every day! Dr Bui was so caring and considerate of me and my husband. Dr Bui called me as soon as my husband was being sent to recovery to tell me all went well and to go get some nourishment and they would call me when he was awake. I was so relieved that I could go get something to eat since I hadn't eaten at all. On the follow up visit Dr Bui was just as professional and caring to explain everything. My husband got a clean bill after having his advanced prostate cancer removed. Follow up in 4 weeks, praying for the same results. Diane, Dr Bui's nurse was so very helpful and caring. The professionalism is outstanding. Thanks again we love you Dr Bui!!! Lisa D read more

My urologist recommended I should get a radical prostatectomy. Seeking a second opinion I made an appointment with Dr. Matthew Bui at Tower Urology whom had been recommended as a "doctor's doctor" by an employee at Cedars Sinai hospital. Meeting Dr. Bui, I was impressed by his patient, attentive and positive manor, his listening skills, the ample time he took to clearly explain my options, and the amount of information he gave me. When he heard I like to bicycle, he even offered a suggestion on a bicycle seat I should switch to. After careful consideration and talking with a friend who is in his radiology residency at an out of state hospital, I decided to have Dr. Bui perform the operation. The two months preceding the operation were plagued by a couple of urinary infections, and I was impressed by the careful treatment I received from Dr. Bui and his nurse. He also quickly responded to the two emails I sent him during that time. The four-hour robotic prostatectomy went well and I spent only one night at Cedars Sinai hospital. Once home I needed only two days of Advil to control pain and no narcotics (though I was given narcotic pills just in case). The day following my return home I walked a half mile and the next day I walked a mile. It has now been two and a half weeks since the surgery and I am happy with the pace of my recovery. I am also very glad that I selected someone as skilled and as communicative as Dr. Bui. read more

I am home now, rapidly recovering from a seven and a half hour bladder and prostate removal surgery performed by Dr. Matthew Bui and his beyond excellent team from Tower Urology and the incredible staff and nursing care at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. Dr. Bui is one of the top surgeons in the country, with many years of experience performing surgeries using the Da Vinci robotic surgery system. Prior to my surgery, Dr. Bui took all the time I needed in answering all of my questions. He cares deeply about his patients, explaining in great detail all of my options while making my wife and I feel as comfortable as possible, in our dealing with the bladder cancer and the life changing surgery I was going to be facing. The operation was a complete success and I am blessed to say that we received the post operation Pathology report. We had the procedure done in time, thank God, and the cancer did not spread beyond my bladder. No bladder muscle wall, lining or lymph nodes were involved. I am cancer free and am filled with gratitude and counting my blessings! Also, because my prostate needed to be removed as well, one of Dr. Bui's areas of expertise is in doing his best in trying to save the nerve package related to the prostate and continuing sexual function which was a very important to me! I would highly recommend Dr. Bui, as a Urologist/Surgeon for an initial consultation or a second opinion. read more

Dr. Matthew Bui is by far the best urologist and surgeon in Los Angeles. I had advanced prostate cancer and he did surgery at Cedars Sinai Medical Center and it was a 100% success. Everything in perfect working order! Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Bui performed a much needed TURP prostate procedure on me after I had two serious infections, do to not being able to clear my bladder. He was available for all of our questions by email, phone and zoom meetings before and after the surgery. One night in the hospital is all I needed and he came to visit in the hospital 24 hours after the surgery. Prior to surgery he tried to remedy the issue with medicine before rushing into this much needed surgery. He is in the top 3% of all surgeons for a reason. His skills are incomparable in my opinion. I have been followed by Dr. Bui for many years and am grateful that I am a lot older as that improves my odds of having him there if and when I need his skills again. read more

Dr Bui performed a prostatectomy on my husband last December. At the time of surgery, there were no complications. However, a few months out there were some serious issues including infection at the surgery site; this led to blood clots and more than one emergency room visit. Dr Bui dismissed all of my husbands concerns which led to these serious complications. Another review here commented on his sloppy follow up. It's really true as well as his inconsistencies with recommendations. Says one thing one visit, does a complete turn around the next. Most disturbing ... patients must be on their toes at all times and takes notes from one visit to the next with this doctor. Really scary. This is an arrogant doctor who will not listen to the patient. This medical group is well respected though I don't know why. The exam rooms are dirty, the doctors are too busy to really listen, the whole practice is more factory than medical care. Our experience with Dr Bui was overall a very negative one. read more

I can't recommend Dr. Bui more highly. I had a recent spike in my PSA score and Dr. Bui recommended a biopsy. The result was an early (fortunately) diagnosis of prostate cancer. In clear and understandable terms, Dr. Bui explained all of the alternative approaches (active monitoring, radiation and surgery). With his guidance, I elected surgery - a radical prostatectomy using the most advanced robotic procedures. The surgery was performed with great skill and the recovery process has been much better than anticipated. Two more things worth mentioning. First, two close friends are oncologists and both highly recommended Dr. Bui as a physician and surgeon. Second, Dr Bui is supported by a terrific staff at his office - they are responsive and incredibly helpful (a special thanks to Milly and Francisca). My entire family is thankful for the great care I've received. read more

As a health care provider, I did my research into the top robotic prostatectomy surgeons in the country. Dr Bui was in the top 3 percentile. He came highly recommended and once i met him for a consultation, I was convinced he was the man for the job. He exudes confidence and calmness with attention to detail,as i would expect from a surgeon. The procedure went smoothly(it wasn't for cancer; just very large prostate and irregularly shaped). The post op visit went as smooth as I expected. I cannot say enough about his skills, his bedside manner and his persona(He even complied with my request for a selfie in the OR with the robot in the background, prior to induction of anesthesia). I highly recommend Dr. Bui. read more

My visit with Dr. Matthew was extremely disappointing. I had an appointment and came on time, I sat in a room for an hour and a half. I was continuously told that Dr. Matthew was very busy and in surgery, when my patience ran out and I walked out of the room I saw the doctor calmly, happily talking to the receptionist. Very disrespectful when you are nearly 2 hours late to your appointment. I do not recommend this doctor to anyone. read more

Dr. Matt Bui is as great as it gets! From 1st meeting to post surgery I felt like family, along with Dr. Steven Sacks, who BTW is AWSOME, I almost want my prostrate BACK() just to be able to spend more time with them. The team of Sacks/Bui always left me knowing exactly EVERYTHING along the way, even calling me at nite when results would come in. I highly recommend Tower Urology for any urology problems.

I wish to provide the highest recommendation for Dr. Matthew Bui. I had a kidney removed in that it had a tumor. Prior to the surgery, we had an extensive conference, where we discussed in considerable detail, my condition, the nature of the tumor, the nature of the diagnosis, and the concerns raised by renal tumors. Dr. Bui, took the time necessary to provide an in depth analysis of my condition and the nature of the surgery. He is a kind and generous individual, one that you would want treating you or one close to you. Post surgery, he was very helpful and candid about what I had to undertake to assist in my own recovery. Other doctors, I had contacted highly recommended Dr. Bui, and indicated he had very extensive experience in robotic surgery. Yes it is correct, that at times, I had to wait 1/2 hour after my appointment time to see Dr. Bui, in that he was returning from Surgery, or tied up with other patients. But the wait is well worth it. AH Los Angeles, California read more

Very poor communication by this office. The only way you can communicate is by email, Really feel alone with my problem.

This is a worst doctor . avoid him. he is a liar. He performed a surgery on me and I got infection. I suffered a lot and had to have another two surgeries to get rid of infection. After that he told me that I need to wait first a half year to heal the wound to repeat this surgery and then another half year. So after I came to him one year later he said that he failed me miserably and he wants me to find another doctor. He couldn't answer why did he made me to wait for so long and than refused to do the surgery. I was able to find another doctor at UCLA and he performed the surgery and repaired all the damage that doctor Bui done. read more

Excellent physician. Caring, knowledgeable, skillful, informative... straightforward yet empathetic bedside manner. Gets right back to you if there are questions. Surrounded by a terrific professional staff. Lucky to have him in LA. Highly recommend. read more

A bright guy who undoubtedly knows his medicine, and friendly enough on the surface. But I found him inconsistent in his recommendations, lacking in thoughtfulness toward me, and disturbingly sloppy in his followup--and I have good reason to find his multiple omissions disturbing. There are other bright docs out there who know their medicine--but also care enough about their patients to consider their welfare and not just what it takes to get a patient out the door quickly. A subsequent urologist also shared with me that this practice is known for doing unnecessary testing. read more

Robotic prostatectomy: I found Dr Bui through a referral and became completely convinced after seeing projects.propublica.org/surgeons/ and meeting him. He exudes very high confidence yet remains caring and down-to-earth. He took the time to explain everything from possible complications to alternative treatment (radiation). On the day of surgery, he took time to answer all questions and strongly advocated for TED hose which the pre-op nurses had not provided. Dr Bui is also taking a very proactive approach to helping me avoid incontinence and impotence. He has quite a few options remaining if his first recommendations are insufficient for me. My post-op pathology report was excellent and time will tell if I am one of the few who have ongoing problems despite a perfect surgery. read more

I found Dr. Bui to be extremely caring and considerate in his communication and treatment. He was clear and concise in his explanations of my condition and my options. He listened to my concerns and opinions, and did not try to impose his opinion on me. Once we had agreed on a treatment, his counseling as to the physical ramifications were extremely accurate. His recovery program, which I followed scrupulously, led to a very swift and successful healing. I am very happy that I chose Dr. Bui and I have already recommended him to others, including my family doctor. Surgery is never a happy occasion, but my experience with Dr. Bui and his practice was as positive an experience as I could have hoped for. He's also one of the smartest people I have ever met! read more

this is going to be along one, sorry. in 9/2014 dr. cinman (5 stars for him, same office) thought that the small tumor on my kidney could be cancer and kidney should be removed. he had been following it for a few years and it was growing. he said dr. bui should do it. we met and he saw all the scar tissue from 2 kidney transplants and a pancreas transplant. he said he would do laprascopic robotic. dr. cinman recommended him and i trusted him so i had the surgery. next morning i was sent home even though all nurses knew there weren't any bowel sounds. by the time i got home about 15 minutes away i knew i was dying. went to cedars ER where they thought i was groveling for drugs, gave me a shot of morphine and left. moved me to a room upstairs. i was starting to have trouble breathing and the hospitalist just said, "it's very painful surgery." NO IT'S NOT!! my 2 kidney transplants were both from friends and they were fine. about 20 minutes later i code blue'd. passed out right in a friend's arms. they couldn't get me stable enough for a CAT scan because blood pressure kept dropping. nobody knew what was wrong. the next day a surgeon who happened to be a gym friend operated. dr. bui had nicked my colon and tied small bowel in half. i woke up on ventilator/respirator and told i had a 20% chance of living. in severe septic shock. 3 surgeries in 5 days to correct his negligence. he tried to say it "just happened." and when i wrote, "no, i did Go Lightly the night before your surgery and it would have happened then." never saw him again. a few days later an unnamed surgery assistant/tech came to my room and told me wouldn't testify but he saw the string tying small bowel in half when the new surgeon (who saved my life) took my guts out to see what was going on. and yes, 2 friends heard that. his laprascopic surgery which should have had 2 or 3 small holes left me with about 15. obviously he was having trouble. 4-5 days on breathing machine, 5 in ICU, 7 more on surgical floor. i lived somehow. juvenile diabetic for 45 years at that time, 3 organ transplants and severe sepsis and i lived. thank you to dr. brendan carroll, dr alice peng, dr. michael bush and dr. stephen graham. f you dr bui. lost many feet of small intestine and a foot or so of colon where he cut it. didn't believe in PTSD until all that. it's very real. please do not use dr. bui. he's suppsed to be good at prostate removal. why risk your life? why didn't i sue? this will urt him more than his insurance paying out. read more
