Dr. Meng is part of the awesome Urology Department at UCSF headed by international superstar Dr. Peter Carroll. I was fortunate to see Dr. Carroll for my initial appointments. Eventually Peter referred me to Dr. Meng, who specializes in robotic kidney surgery.
In addition to Dr. Meng's impressive educational credentials, long list of published papers, wealth of real world experience in a practice that deals with many challenging cases, Dr. Meng exudes patient empathy. As others have said, he takes as much time as necessary to thoroughly listen, explain, answer questions and review options. He has a calm demeanor, no sign of an unchecked ego (he refers to himself simply as Max) and inspires confidence. While I hope you never have the need to see a Urologist, if you do, you will be in great hands with Maxwell Meng. My wife, who has accompanied me on my appointments, agrees wholeheartedly.
Yes, UCSF Urology is a much in demand practice which results in occasional delays but the waits are understandable because you know that the docs give their patients quality time. (If possible, scheduling your appointment for the morning will increase your chance of staying on time.) We are fortunate to have a world class medical facility close at hand. read more
