I have been a long time patient of Dr. Schraudenbach and Texas Urology Specialists. I don't know for exactly how long, but it has been years - approaching a decade.
I like Dr. Schraudenbach and he has always been helpful, consultative and attentive. He takes his time and listens, asks questions, answers questions and I have always enjoyed my interactions with him.
For the last year or so, the business side of this practice has taken a terrible turn for the worse. Communication by phone has become impossible - answering service tries to filter calls, then, if you get to speak with the on-site staff and leave a message for a nurse or anyone else, it will just be ignored. I have not received a call back from any request I have made in the last month+. They have a patient portal, but responses there are slow at best, and the responses I've seen from staff seem to be completely inattentive - as if they barely read what you write. I had elevated levels of a substance in my blood which I have been treated for before, but this last round of blood tests I had to notice this issue myself, and spend 3 pretty bad days trying to get some resulting action.
If it were just Dr. Schraudenbach, I would still be a patient there. As it is, I cannot continue this charade. They no longer seem to care enough to speak with patients with questions or for any other reason. Heck, I couldn't even get them to answer the phone so that I could cancel any future appointments I had!
It's a shame. Used to be a great place. read more
