Ridiculously unprofessional. Talked to nurse about non-medical issues for 20 minutes in the middle of the appointment. I came to visit him because of 6 months of prostatic pain. He seemed disinterested, and gave almost no advice.

He seemed competent and knowledgeable, but not very interested. I spent ten minutes with him, and he was constantly checking his watch the entire time; it made me feel like he just wanted me to leave.

Would not reccomend, staff is great, but doctor was terrible, has no compassion for others, unknowledgeable, too young to know what he is talking about. does not even have an idea what pain is, would not even take my dog to him!

He was approachable and nice; however, just because the case at hand was not his specialty, it does not justify the complete lack of knowledge and willingness to refer me to another specialist. Complete waste of time and money.

I am amazed by the negative reactions. I am a woman who presented with chronic blood in my urinalyses. He was very thorough. Took lots of time with me. Did a procedure that others had told me was painful but which was not painful at all. I have recommended him to many people. I was pleased with the service.

Was very thorough in running tests for an odd medical issue. Waited until he had all the information before telling me what I should do from here. Answered all of my questions.

Did not conduct any testing for recurrent utis aside from an office urinalysis. Either unable or unwilling to run tests. Rude. Provides no options or alternatives for diagnosis or treatment. Complete waste of time. Amazing that we graduated from the same alma mater (U. of Va)and he is so incompetent.
