I had my first appointment with Dr. Cornell today. I was actually supposed to have my first…read moreappointment next week but I was in a lot of pain and extremely uncomfortable that Dr. Cornell and the office manager lady Kim went out of their way and accommodated me and brought me in today at last minute. They truly cared about me as a patient and as a person. I moved to Knoxville, TN about 2 months ago for work. I've been seeing my previous urologist in NJ for years for my urological issues. My urological issues are embarrassing to me and it is very difficult for me to find the right person I'm comfortable with for treatment. I couldn't find anyone in Knoxville that could help my specific issue and that I was comfortable with as well. I did some research and I found Dr. Cornell and saw he had lots of experience with my issue and offered the same kind of treatments as my previous doctor. At my appointment today I felt extremely comfortable with Dr. Cornell. I was surprisingly more comfortable with him than my previous urologist I've seen for years. He is very nice and listens well. He offers excellent advice. And his treatment was even better and more effective than my NJ urologist as well. I am doing so much better right now and I'm grateful. I have to drive 3 hours each way to see Dr. Cornell but it is worth it to me. He is now my official urologist and I will be seeing him regularly. I am extremely grateful and relieved that I found him. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a urologist. Honestly I believe he is the best doctor and this is the best doctor office I've ever been to. Please check him out. He will help you. Thank you Dr. Cornell and Kim. - Christopher Neller

I was referred to Dr. Cornell by my internist, and I'm so glad I was!…read more I saw Dr. Cornell as a new patient today, and he and his staff could not have been nicer or more efficient. Once I got there and gave his office manager my paperwork, I only had to wait long enough for her to photocopy my license and insurance and start a chart, which took no more than 10 minutes. I was taken back quickly, and waited no more than 10 minutes again to see Dr. Cornell himself. Dr. Cornell was EXTREMELY thorough, and looked over my past history, looking for anything that could help him piece together a picture of what was going on with me; which I really appreciated. He answered every question (even if I accidentally asked more than once), made sure I knew exactly what was going on, and took as much time as I needed to understand his conclusions, course of treatment, and the reasoning behind it. Dr. Cornell listened and made sure he understood exactly what I was saying before coming to any conclusions or making a diagnosis. It was so wonderful to have a doctor that really listened and spent time with me. I cannot say enough about my experience with Dr. Cornell today.

Despite me having two kidney stones and passing blood almost every day they told me that it would…read morebe a month before they could see me. My condition was worsening and just as I pulled into the parking lot on the day of the appointment they called to cancel the appointment. The lady said they could have brought me in sooner to see a nurse and wasn't sure why I had to wait so long. REALLY? I cancelled another appointment so I could attend this one. My question to the doctors and employees of this practice is a simple one. Would you want yourself or a family member to be treated this way? R H Cox

Think twice before trusting this practice I have a…read morecomplicated kidney situation. Initial visits seemed very positive but slowly deteriorated. When the doctor went on vacation he did not have a backup. Very poor communication even using their portal and returning phone calls. The doctor told me if I expected this I was told he could recommendation another urology doctor. I could go in more detail but don't feel it would be worth the time. Be aware that I did not feel any empath or timely concern for me. Bottom line do NOT seek medical care from this doctor!!!

Joanne Hooks moved to Advent Health Chatsworth office located at the Chatsworth hospital campus…read more As soon as I heard I immediately signed on as a patient because I consider her to be one of the top professionals in the business. She immediately solved a complex problem I had been suffering with. She was successful because she has the necessary skills, but more importantly she asks questions and listens intently to completely understand what is going on. I had been seen by here already at another practice in Dalton, GA and already was completely sold on her. The practice in Chatsworth is an extension office of the Gordon Hospital and I really like the size and atmosphere of the office. Never have long wait times and the practice is connected through the HELLOWELL Ap. So I can reach out with an email when something is going on and the replies are always quick. Unfortunately I have required urological care in the past 6 years, and have tried several urologists. Joann and Advent Health are top shelf and recommend this practice without any reservation as offering the best care anywhere in the area (and I have tried most of them).

I had a doctor's appointment, but it was going to be a few weeks so they called me and told me they…read morecould get me in sooner with another doctor. He left the practice, so they sent me up with someone else, but it was going to be a while so I asked him to fill my Flomax. He didn't do it. I ended up with UTI and septicemia, and had to stay in the hospital for a week. And they could have got me in earlier but the doctor they changed me from originally wouldn't take me because he said I canceled on him. But it wasn't me that canceled it was the office that canceled . The left hand don't know what the right hand is doing in this office so please be warned .

This practice is part of Advanced Urology, who has offices in Snellville (main), Decatur, and Johns Creek. They also have a great patient portal available to all patients. I saw Dr. Prabharasuth in the Decatur office for a second opinion on a surgical need and a medical issue and he was far superior to the other physician I saw from another practice. The only issue is that for surgery, I have to go the Snellville surgery center because the Decatur surgery center is not in-network with Ambetter. NPWH=The office staff, doctors, phone operators, billing department, and everyone in between are RIDICULOUSLY nice. I totally recommend this group to anybody.

My husband had a terrible abscess that caused him to be admitted to the hospital for two weeks. I am very fortunate he was able to contain the infection before it could spread throughout his body. During this process Dr. Patel kept me informed and was a great sounding board. He made himself accessible. Words cannot express our gratitude. This is my first time writing on a blog but I felt compelled to go on record and tell everyone that he is the Greatest Urologist out there. I also want to give kudos to his staff.

Their excuses ran the gamut from Dr. Is on vacation to no operating rooms available at the hospital. My ex is 74, easily confused, non-confrontational and on Medicare. When I finally convinced him to let them know that I could speak to them, they suddenly found an OR available. Dr. Woo was careful to show me what a great job he had done, but when I asked about the damage that could have been caused by the prolonged use of a catheter, he quickly started blaming prostrate medication...medication HE prescribed! Fortunately, removal went off well and he is able to "void" so far. A lawsuit is still not out of the question for the pain and suffering caused by this neglect.
