Good urologist but his staff is incompetent. As I left after first visit I was given a second appointment and told to get a blood draw and prostate MRI. Had to make those appointments myself and the blood draw never happened- when I went at the appointed time arranged online Labcorp had no record of me from either their own online system or the doctors office. The imaging went well. When I called to double check the follow up appointment with the doctor I was told I had never made one even though I had been given the date and time by the staff as noted above. Gave up, will pursue the image results elsewhere.

The doctor is great! The office staff is uncoordinated, inept, lacks focus, bad patient relations! Call five times this week, got through, they could only take a message and pass it to the nurse, left one every day for four days in a row. Got a text message stating that we should call for an appoint for treatments. I said okay. They wouldn't schedule one because it needed the doctor's approval even though he had written in the patient history that we should come in for 3 treatments in six months. The staff also said they had to be in a row. I told them that to get them in a row, it had to happen today because we leave town after that. No call. Called again today and the staff said someone would call me back. They said that for the last four days. They also forget to order the "treatment" stuff. They also cancel because they say that they didn't receive the insur. authorization. They don't do stuff in time! I don't know why they are not tracking stuff and make me call.

Dr. Blitz might be a great doctor but he cares more about his $$ then the patient. Since I have a gastric sleeve and going without food and water for over 12 hours not possible. He scheduled 2 kidney surgeries the same day so I was scheduled to come to the hospital at 11;30. I called as soon as I found out and his scheduler said we would cancel and reschedule. Right, Bliz blew me off as a patient because I did not show up and I canceled the day before. Humm the hospital called me the day before so how was I to know and besides HE made the other surgeries scheduled for the same day. Like I said more about his $$ then the health or well being of the patient. This alone speaks VOLUMES of what kind of a Dr. he is.

I went to Dr. Barry Blitz for the first time. He took over clients from Dr. VanBeever. I want to say thank you to your staff and personally say thank you Dr. Blitz. I really appreciate being pain free in three days with a 5mm kidney stone. When I was awake I never had to opportunity to say thank you..

I have treated by Dr, Blitz for bladder cancer for the past two years. He is outstanding, very professional and personable. His staff also has been excellent. My only complaint is there seems to be a lot of turn over of staff. I would not hesitate to recommend him

I have been seeing Dr. Blitz for over 5 years. When I moved to Florida my primary care doctor referred me to Dr. Blitz. I could not be more confident in this man. Several of my friends and neighbors at Shellpoint see him, and we all agree, he is excellent. I feel confident referring him to anybody that needs a skillful doctor and a great listener.
