The office is unprofessional, they are not friendly, and very unempathetic. Be sure to check to see if he is covered by your insurance before going - the office will not notify you and then bill you extravagant amounts. The office does not have flexible scheduling, or online patient options and generally does anything it can to make money.
- They do not respect or value their patients as people or their time.

Dr. Atwell is dismissive, very rushed, and does not take the time to talk to his patients and you can be waiting for a long time when you get there - He does not respect his patients or their time.

Very expensive - and if that is mentioned - Atwell makes every excuse as to why it is....even though his office is littered with expensive F1 Racing memorabilia...
It's a joke.

Avoid this place and the crap service if you value your sanity and money.

My grandfather was scheduled to get a small procedure with Dr. Atwell. A week prior, we made an appointment to go over the tests and procedure. Our first inkling that something was very wrong was when the nurse snapped demanding to know “why we were there”. Um, well, we were there to go over the barrage of tests, understand the procedure and discuss other options”. We were made to feel like we were wasting their time. We were rushed in and out, shown no test results nor were able to ask any questions. A few days later, we still had questions so I called the office to ask for their email so that I could email the 3 questions that we had. I was literally screamed at by Dr. Atwell’s assistant/wife who said “email!! How would I even charge you for email??!! When I asked if we could have copies of the results of the ultra-sounds and cat-scans ordered by them, I was told she was dropping my grandfather as a patient because we
were “wasting their time”. Do yourself a favor and find another Oncologist. This practice is horrible. Uncaring and boarding on unethical in my opinion. What doctor refuses to answer a few simple questions about a procedure? Or, to provide you with test results? Not a good one, I assure you.

He is rude at times, yelled at me and left office with me asking a question as he was walking away - gave a 1 word answer without turning around! He performed a cystoscopy and didn't know what he was seeing-kept saying it looked like a UTI infection but previous tests came back negative for that. My 1st year med student daughter saw the images and diagnosed me. Went to another urologist and he confirmed my daughter's diagnosis. Staff can be indifferent however the male PA was great!

Absolutely one of the best doctors I have ever seen. I have been going to him for many years. He took his time and listened to all my concerns. Helped me get my life back on track

I had an appt. with Dr. Atwell as I was having bladder and urination problems. I was told by the PA that Dr. Atwell will come in and I should take off clothes below the waist, which I did and waited for him. He along with the nurse and the PA came back in and without even acknowledging my presence he proceeded to give me a pelvic exam without any kind of lubricant on his fingers. I screamed "you're hurting me, stop". He not only ignored me but left the room and left the nurse and P.A. there for me to talk to.
I was so angry and upset that he could behave this way with me and I got up and left the room. He is disrespectful, arrogant and should not be practicing. He isn't a doctor - he is a Monster!!!

Unbelievable. The office closes for lunch. Totally disrespectful to the elderly patience waiting outside in the heat. I do not recommend this doctor or his practice.

IF YOU HAVE IC, HE WANTS NO PART OF YOU. RUDE, QUICK TEMPER, NO IDEA OF TIME, LOTS AND LOTS OF STAFF TURN OVER. THEY TRAIN THEM FROM THE FRONT DESK, THEN THEY WORK WITH THIS DR. AND ARE REFERRED TO AS NURSES. WHAT A SLAP IN THE FACE TO ALL NURSES. HORRIBLE, BRIEF EXPERIENCE.

I never got to see the doctor. I was told to get an ultrasound twice and never got a definitive answer as to my problem. When I refused to comply with their "policy" of giving them my credit card number to keep on file, I was kicked out of the practice. Would not reccomend this bunch to anyone.

Scheduled an appointment for 4-18-17 at 1:30. When asked, I was told the doctor would see me in 10 minutes. I was called in at 2. Met with the nurse, who I like a lot. She had to give me the news that the doctor was in surgery and I could either reschedule or meet with his PA. I told them I didn't want to meet with the PA who asked about my prostate (I am female) during one of my last visits. I said I want the doctor to call me and explain to me the results of my sonagram. By this time the office was filled with people telling me the doctor would not call me.
