I don't give 5 stars for just ANYBODY - but this doctor's office deserves every one of them!…read more When I had my regular appointment with my primary care physician, I was referred to Dr. Chapman. My doctor's office made the referral appointment for me, and I was very pleased to be able to get in to see him so soon - in just 5 days. I got to the office on time - was given 2 sheets of paper to fill out that wasn't in the 'online' version - and took care of doing the things you have to do when visiting a urologist. Typically I get gun shy, but luckily for me, everything came out as expected... After filling the cup, my wait was less than 15 minutes until I was called to be seen. I did all the 'new patient Olympic tricks' - checked my height, my weight - my blood pressure - temp - and was taken to 'the room' to wait for Doctor Chapman. The room was as comfortable as you can be, waiting for a doctor. I could overhear him talking to the patient in the next room - couldn't understand what they were talking about - but he was answering the patient's questions thoroughly - and that already impressed me. I like it when my doctor answers my questions, so there's another 'plus' mark in my ratings book. When he came into the room, he introduced himself - and I in return - and he started asking questions about the answers and concerns I had indicated on the forms that I had filled out. He listened to my questions - and answered them very professionally. He followed up with more info insuring me that he was giving me good information - and that he cared about my overall health and well being. We talked about a game plan he is going to put me on, and I look forward in working with him very much. He ordered some blood tests, and scheduled my next appointment with him - and now comes the 'fun' part... Time to meet the vampire who'll take my blood! I don't like having my blood drawn. Unless it's with a pen or a pencil, having my blood drawn is never on my million things to do.... ever. The guy in my primary care physician's office, has high ratings from me, in drawing my blood. This woman makes Doug look like a novice. She was OUTSTANDING! When she got done, I literally gave her a HUGE hug, as I've had mosquitos do more painful blood extractions than she did... I mean this woman ROCKS! I look forward in working with the staff at his office - and of course with Dr. Chapman... They are all very professional and did I mention how awesome the blood taking lady is?... She scored a 25 on a 1 to 10 scale!

IT IS MY OPINION that I was damaged for life as a result of seeing a urologist at this practice…read more MANISH SHAH first did a failed prostate microwaving on me that was supposed to work 90% of the time he said. He then said I HAD to have a transurethral resection of the Prostate or TURP operation and it would be "definnitive" therapy for an enlarged prostate. It not only did NOT work, I was worse after it and developed major orgasmic sensation loss. He had assured me of that,, "It will feel the same". Nothing could be furher from the truth and others have told me they also had signififcant sensation loss too. He did not verify that I was numb before starting to operate on me and as a result I felt the instruments enter my body and the cutting of my prostate begin before I was finally KNOCKED out. He did not bother to wear a surgical mask during that operation or either of the two that followed it. (see photo) I had TURP 2 only 3 weeks later and it only put me back to where I had been. He then UNBELIEVABLY did TURP 3 just 3 months later and it did NOTHING. I began to develop PEYRONIES Disease just a week after it and it has been horrible. I was NEVER warned that was a possibility by him before. Nor was I warned that the drug AVODART can cause breast enlargement or gynocomastia. When it happened to me, only then did he say it was just on 1/2 of 1% of patients. How carring was he when it happened? He joked about my "man boobs" in the presenced of his female nurse, who was later my student. He failed to check for an inguinal hernia when I first had severe tessticular pain , explaining it away as just infecction, so I suffered much longer than I should have. After all my problems as a result of ever letting him touch me, he had the nerve to demean two physicians to me, one a urologist in another city, and the other a local cosmetic surgeon. It is MY OPINON that I would have been better off being completely untreated or seeing a veternarian for help., Know that what heppened to me could happen to you. I was a fool to not have gotten a second opinion before I agreed to ANY surgery that he did.

the staff at the Boaz location we're very unprofessional, I was given an appointment date but they…read moreforgot to add me to the schedule, so I was turned away.. keep in mind I had already waited a month for this appointment just so that Dr Hopkins can read me my CT scan results...I still don't have those results and no PTO days and a $400 hospital bill for the CT scans,, FML right..

I am extremely disappointed with my experience trying to schedule an appointment with this office…read moreafter being diagnosed with RCC (renal cell carcinoma) cancer. My primary care physician sent a referral to this office three separate times. Every time I called to follow up, I was told that the referral had not been received. After more than two weeks of getting nowhere, I sought help from another physician, who submitted an additional referral. When I called again, I was finally told that both referrals had been received. However, despite each referral clearly stating that I needed to be seen urgently, I was informed that the earliest available appointment was more than a month from the date of the original referral because the office did not have my imaging studies. Wanting to avoid any further delays, I personally delivered the imaging CD to the office. Only then was I told that they could not view images from a CD and instead needed the radiology report. Fortunately, I had a copy and emailed it immediately. After that, I was told the report still had to be processed and reviewed by the physicians before an appointment could even be scheduled. As a patient dealing with a cancer diagnosis, this process was incredibly frustrating and stressful. The repeated delays, conflicting information, and lack of urgency were alarming. It is difficult to understand why a patient with an urgent cancer referral would face so many obstacles just to obtain an appointment. I hope the office reviews its referral, scheduling, and communication processes so that future patients especially those facing serious diagnoses receive the timely care and attention they deserve.

First, a little background on my complaint. And this complaint is not about the doctor but rather…read morethe CRNP for Urology Specialists of Huntsville. I was a patient of doctor Daniel Osula of Urology Specialists of Huntsville and I had an incident this past Thursday, April 9th where I was nauseated with dizzyness. My family doctor, referred me to Marshall Medical Center North outpatient services because of my complaint of nausea/vomiting. After extensive blood work and CT scans, no infections were detected. My family doctor thinks it could be a case of Prostatitis that had made me ill and required me to seek ER attention on Thursday April 9th. my Dr then referred me, late in the day, to the Crestwood Medical Center emergency room where I might be seen by a urologist on-call and possibly a GI specialist. No one was available on Thursday night so the follow up instructions provided by the ER was to contact my urologist for an immediate appointment. I tried calling Urology Specialists of Huntsville on Monday and I was like number 86 in the queue I think. I left my name and call-back number, 256-527-9656. I never received a call back so I proceeded to send them an email with the information on my issue and request an appointment. The response I received from Valerie Gonsalez Urology Specialists P.C. was as follows: The nurse would like to get you scheduled with the Nurse Practitioner. Appointment has been scheduled on 04/15/26 at 3:50pm with Carmen Herring, CRNP. If this appointment doesn't work, please reply back and I can get it changed. Thank you. I don't want an appointment with the CRNP, I was referred to a Dr. This same CRNP failed to catch my illness during visits earlier in 2026, the last being in early March. We were scheduled to leave for a Caribbean cruise on Friday April 10th with the ship sailing on April 11th. Due to my illness, we had to cancel all of our travel arrangements, costing me the money paid for the cruise since we were past the cancellation date and we are out costs of copays and deductibles on insurance. So the failure to catch this illness in the early stages has been quite costly to me. Yet as early as this afternoon, 4/14/26, Urology Specialists P.C. is still trying to schedule me to see a person that I don't want to see for tomorrow 4/15/26 at 3:50. I had made this known 4/13/26 and asked for a response which I didn't receive until after 6:00p on 4/13/26. I again responded I didn't want this appointment and that I was no longer a patient and that I would be filing this complaint/review. I blame all of my medical issues on the failure of the CRNP to properly diagnose an issue, and allow me to see a qualified MD, causing a lot of recent pain, physical discomfort and loss of vacation money paid in advance as well as copays and deductibles. The communications issue is a disastrous mess and it seems like the CRNP is a filter that blocks access to the doctors, even when I ask to see a Dr or I am referred by 2 different medical resources (my family doctor and the Crestwood ER doctor). I would recommend that if you have any serious issues that go beyond "peeing in a cup" that you GO ELSEWHERE. That is the extent the CRNP goes to and then dismisses any other symptoms when the "pee in a cup" test is clear. Obviously 6-8 weeks after the "all clear", here I am with a more serious issue and about 12 days physical illness, missed plans, extra expenses because someone wouldn't or couldn't act beyond their limited capacity.
