Office was not even opened and the staff lied about rescheduling us when there were no notice or communication. Staff and doctor belittled my elderly father because he did not speak English. It's a shame that there are doctors out there who looks down on their patients. If you are unhappy or can't sympathize for others - maybe re-evaluate why you became a doctor. I understand the job can be stressful but think about the patient's perspective as well. They are also stressed and looking to you for care and reassurance. Don't treat them as they're not worthy of your time. There need to be some kind of evaluation for these type of doctors.

This is review on Ella and Nancy who work in the urology department at northbay at Dr. Khaira's…read moreoffice. I had a procedure done yesterday on 6/20/23 and am in significant amount of pain.. I was told by Nancy when she called me around 835am this morning to remove my stent that was placed in 24hrs at home by myself.. I was also told that if couldn't do it alone I could be seen In office to be helped. I then was called from the recovery department at north bay at around 2pm to see how I was doing with everything after the surgery and asked about pain and all that and they told me that the stent should be removed in 10days. I told them I was in significant amount of pain and that Nancy at Dr. khairas office told me I had to remove the stent in 24hrs not 10days.. so the nurse on the phone told me to TRIPLE check again with Dr. K to see about the stent and to ask for better pain management meds. So I called the office and Ella said she would pass the message to Nancy to call me back.. so Nancy called me back at 320pm and asked me what was wrong.. (but with attitude)I told her about the confusion i had with when to pull the stent out and that I was in a significant amount of pain and the meds were not helping.. she then said "The recovery department does not know what they are talking about always listen to the Doctors orders not them, what you need to do is pull the stent out and wait 30 mins if your still in pain call us back before 5pm" but THE WAY she delivered that was very rude. So I said I would.. I tried to remove it in the shower around 345pm .. I tried tugging the string and deep breathing like 3 times but holy F.. it HURTS SOOO BAD. So I called them back to see if I could come in person so they can help me. ELLA (bc they even spelled it out rudely for me) answered the phone and didn't even ask for my name or DOB like almost she already knew who was calling.. she put me on hold and then when she came back on very rudely she said "ma'am if you can get here by 445pm we can help you to remove it here in the office" I told her I didn't have a ride until 5pm bc I'm home alone and can't drive and she said "well we close at 5pm you can come in tomorrow @9am" I then asked if i could at least have something g prescribed for tonight in the meantime while I waited for the appt tmw and their response (again very rudely and apathetic) " we'll all the doctors are gone now so idk what to tell you, if it hurts THAT bad then you can go to the ER" I was left with my jaw on the floor.. I just said "okay.... What's your name?" And that's when they spelled it out for me.. I just wanted to say that the LACK of empathy, understanding and compassion for patients is no where to be found in these two staff members. They kept saying "I understand" very rudely.. but in reality do they understand???? Are they the ones in pain with a stent that is in your body running from your kidney to your urethra???? Have they ever felt what that's like bc I wish this pain on nobody. I'm sorry but this department needs to go through some SERIOUS customer service and empathy training to say the least. Dr. Khaira was AMAZING.. he has the best bedside manner I have ever experienced in a Dr and the surgical team was also sooo amazing they were so loving and caring and showed so much compassion.. even my NP Dorothy is amazing!! The sweeetest NP ever.. but it seems like the actual staff running the front missed the training on how to be decent human beings.. please northbay offer your staff some customer service trainings.

Well, how does one review a Urology clinic when it's the first ever visit? Well, I researched the…read moreclinics in Sonoma County and San Francisco. I choose this one because I liked the credentials and biographies of all the doctors - didn't read any bad reviews in yelp... and I liked the faces of the doctors in the biographies! You know, show me a police line-up and I think I can detect the ones who have all the lights on and someone is at home when I look into the eyes. So, based upon reviews, biographies, internet stuff and a book from Amazon I choose Napa Valley Urology Associates. I choose Dr Khaira but would have been happy with anyone in that group. I needed a specialist to act upon a high PSA score. Dr Khaira was able to verify a biopsy was needed and performed the procedure to get the needed results. This excellent review is given because of his skillful performance to get the 12 samples and do it quickly with minimal pain. He had an assistant so that the procedure was quickly done. I have read of this exercise being done with as few as six samples - and the use of a topical painkiller rather than injections and no assistant. The pain from the topical painkiller can be "excruciating" so that six samples is all that can be taken at one time. ( I always like to inject a little humor into my reviews as a little treat to anyone who takes the bother to read it... so use your own imagination here to have a good laugh and then read on. ) Dr Khaira gave adequate pain injections and the procedure went smoothly. Napa Valley Urology Associates is a busy place! When I went in for a 10:30 appointment it was like a busy bus station... though there were plenty of seats. A small army of women run the front desk and from the banter of conversations I heard they are a happy crew that work well together: signs of a well managed group. I also saw a couple of local men who were surprised to see each other there - but found the opportunity to schedule a dinner to try out some new wine. A busy place and a happy place.

But, I'm very…read moreshy, and I explained my last visit with his partner whereby a female came to prep me for a procedure, and I was totally horrified, shocked in fact. His comment was "we don't have any male nurses" & "they have seen it a hundred times", neither comment of course eased any of my discomfort. After explaining the options, we chose one, and he advised that the first procedure would require a female to show me how it works. I was aghast, I just explained to him how uncomfortable I was about that. At any rate, I called back the following week and canceled the prescription & first initial instructional visit with his female assistant. I came away thinking, these doctor's aren't really interested in helping you address the core problem, it's more of a philosophy of hey try these drugs (even though they probably have never tried any themselves) and they will be your cure. But none of them are a cure, it's just a continual cycle of doctors who give what they think is best, and patients relying on medication that really doesn't address the core issues, or adequately treat the problem. I'm left frustrated with our healthcare, not just with doctor's, but insurance companies too. Insurance always seems to come between what your doctor & you agree is the best course of action, because insurance follows the cheapest path of care. Interjecting themselves between you & your doctor, as if they know better than you & your doctor, just isn't right. The state of healthcare in America is horrible, and that's a person talking from decades of healthcare coverage. Imagine people with no coverage, or MediCaid. Why can't we as a society push for cures, decent medical care, less pills, more research, a system where doctor's are not handcuffed by the final decision of insurance companies. Dr. Kaplan was a good doctor, but he's in the rabbit hole same as all the other doctors. Hamstrung by today's inadequacies in our medical care system. Would I recommend Dr. Kaplan, and go back to see him? Yes I would, he's the best in his field that I've met so far.

Prostate cancer is in his family so needless to say we are worried. I waited a few days then called Dr Kaplan's office to see about getting an appointment. Dr. Kaplan's office said they did not receive the referral. I got their fax number and called our doctor back. I confirmed the fax number with our doctor, and confirmed they did send the referral over and gave me the exact date they sent it. I asked my doctor to resend referral again just to make sure which they did when I was on the phone with them. I waited a few more days and then called Dr Kaplan's office back again. We are really worried and wanting to get this going especially if there is cancer. Dr Kaplan's office said they still did not receive the referral. They wanted me to confirm that I had their correct fax number which I did. Dr Kaplan's wanted me to call our doctor back again. I asked if Dr Kaplan's office could just call our doctor to get this resolved. And Jason at Dr Kaplan's told me that he could not make these type of phone calls he only makes appointments. So, I asked if someone else in the office could call our doctor - he said No. I asked "you are telling me no one from Dr Kaplan's office can make a phone call to another doctor's office" Dr Kaplan's office (Jason) said No. Dr Kaplan's office (Jason) said he has a backline fax number I could give to my doctor. I feel that they just do not care and if there is something really wrong with my husband I don't want to deal with a doctor who has this lack of customer service. I felt like they don't care and there was no urgency - I guess they have enough business, so they don't give a *%it. Anyway, end of story is that with just an important life and death stakes we asked for a new referral to a different doctor.
