Dr. Suatengco and associated staff have lost their connection with patients. I was seen 45 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. When I asked questions to either the doctor or staff, I was only provided a short-tempered answer after an eye roll and a sigh. The room I was asked to bare all in, was a broom closet, next to the checkout window and included used syringes, open biohazard boxes, and boxed Christmas decorations. When I asked the doctor if the environment was safe, he said ...

I would NOT EVER recommend this doctor to anyone. I had an absolutely horrible experience. Staff was pleasant. The doctor spent a couple minutes with me while he was standing in between the room and door as to show he was in a hurry. NOT ACCEPTABLE. Despite his absolute unfriendly behavior, (worst bedside manner I have ever experienced) he proceeded to discuss possible diagnosis in front of other patients. UNETHICAL, UNPROFESSIONAL I can't believe I experienced this. SO SO DISAPPOINTING!

Dr S is my husband's urologist. Ongoing kidney stone issues. Dr S has always been responsive to concerns and sat with me after a procedure explaining what was done and even diagramming the kidney for me.

I have been seeing Dr. Suatengco for over six years and he has been terrific. He is not chatty and warm, but knows his stuff and will answer questions directly. The nurses are angels, but the front desk staff can be distant. My quality of life is much improved because of him.

I have been going to Dr. S. for the past two years and been treated for enlarged prostate, kidney stones and bladder stones. He took the time to explain the options for prostrate treatment and benefits of each.He is working with me through the kidney issues with surgery scheduled on short notice to resolve problems. I was able to get in on same day issues when needed with appropriate follow up actions. His bedside manner may not be the warmest, but he is knowledgeable and his staff, especially Bonnie is absolutely magnificent. Bottom line is if you want a urologist who knows his profession and can help you resolve your problems, Dr. S. is a good choice.

I unlike others actually think the staff is very condescending and even though not rude lacking bed side manners. Approach is too cold and unemotional. As far as the doctor, I agree with previous posters, he seems to always be in a hurry and spends a couple minutes with you and leaves to this office.Rubs you of as uncaring.I've had Kidney stones and wanted to ask questions about it, he left the room and I had to ask the nurse if I can see him again to ask the questions. Took a few minutes but she then took me to his office and it felt like I was sent to the principal's office. Doctor is very unapproachable. As far as his skills, I've had two kidney stones in the last 4 years, first one I passed naturally, the second one required surgery. He didn't find it and I was left with pain. I decided to finally change practice.New Dr went in, found the stone and removed it.I asked for pictures and I don't understand how can you miss a truck in the middle of the highway. very, very disappointed.

I was referred to Dr. Suatengco when my GP was concerned about PSA levels. Diagnosed with early, confined, low-volume prostate cancer in April 2010, and Dr. Suagengco performed cryosurgery in August. I have had no complications and am doing very well in October. He is very matter-of-fact and a man of few words, which does not bother me because I don't need hand-holding or agonize over nuances when making treatment decisions. I did a lot of reading (I'm a librarian) and he clarified my understanding of this disease and its treatment as necessary when I was puzzled or mistaken. Staff is very good also. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

My son had a very serious condition and the Dr. recognized the condition and acted quickly. The procedure was done competently. No he isn't warm and fuzzy but he knew what he was doing and acted accordingly. I would recommend him to others.
