    Unprofessional doctor that neglects patients
    Savvy G.

    For Dr. Sameer Malhotra do be a doctor that works with people, he is very unprofessional! He has a negative attitude and talks horribly to patients. He even made a nasty comment to my dad while he was speaking to the receptionist. This behavior is very inappropriate and I don't understand why he still has a job. What is said could be classified as sexual harassment because of his choice of words. When my dad had questions about his case, this doctor told him "let's not go in circles", instead of explaining to him what his plan of care was. If any patients has questions regarding their own care, they should be answered kindly and the procedure should be explained effectively. This doctor is a urologist that should learn how to explain the reproductive system and problems that occur, and if he doesn't know how to explain, maybe he should go back to school and learn something! Again, this doctor is rude, impatient, and has the worst attitude I've ever seen with a healthcare provider. I do not suggest going to him AT ALL. When trying to make a follow up appointment, the doctor declined care, so the receptionist was very standoffish and not helpful at all. No one gave us a referral or let us know our further options. So if our healthcare records get swept under the rug and no follow up or further instructions are given, and if he gets worse, you can be sure to have a lawsuit coming your way for neglecting patient care and abandonment. LEARN HOW TO TREAT PEOPLE !! Especially those that need help and going to doctors to get better.

    Happy to be set up for my kidney stone surgery real soon. 5 stars to Advance Urology

    When you're dealing with male infertility, it takes a heavy toll on both of you, but my husband was…read moreespecially hesitant to even start the process. Finding Dr. Houman was an absolute game-changer for us. From our first consultation, he made my husband feel completely comfortable and respected. Dr. Houman quickly pinpointed a varicocele as the root cause of our fertility struggles and laid out a clear, step-by-step path forward. He never rushed us, answered all my (many) questions, and made sure we both felt confident in the treatment plan. Fast forward to a few months after treatment, my husband's fertility numbers improved dramatically, and we finally got our positive pregnancy test! I am so grateful for Dr. Houman's expertise. If you and your partner are navigating fertility issues or varicocele concerns, you are in the best hands here.

    I came to Dr. Houman after years of dealing with a painful varicocele, ongoing testicular pain, and…read moregrowing concerns about fertility. Other doctors brushed it off, but Dr. Houman took the time to truly listen and explain how varicoceles can cause pain and impact sperm quality and hormones. His depth of expertise in microsurgical varicocele repair and testicular pain treatment is obvious. He was thorough, honest, and never pushed unnecessary treatment. The care felt very precise and highly specialized. Since treatment, my testicular pain has significantly improved and my fertility testing showed significant improvement! Just as important, I finally felt confident and supported throughout the process. If you're dealing with varicoceles, chronic testicular pain, or infertility and want a urologist who genuinely specializes in men's health, I highly recommend Dr. Houman.

He did not take my full medical history into account when treating me and as a result I am now having to navigate issues related to poor treatment and management. Due in part to incomplete informed consent. I also experienced him as dismissive when I asked about a suspected genetic disorder stating "it would not change treatment" but according to my new doctor it changes things significantly. I thought this was a LGBTQ+ safe and affirming practice but that only seems to apply to some parts of that population and not others... He pushes treatments that are inline with harmful dominant cultural norms rather than affirming patients. My life is significantly worse and has been for years because of the poor care i got at this clinic which is made all the more disappointing by the exorbitant cost. Joshua is the doctor that finally broke me and had totally destroyed my trust of doctors and the medical system writ large. I will never trust a doctor implicitly again especially those that on paper appear to have a good pedigree. My life has been made significantly worse as a result of trusting Joshua with my care. If you want a provider who is affirming and practices holistically and with care go elsewhere

Dr. Bellman made it a point to explain the procedure, walk through the paperwork, and explain the ins and outs of the procedure. The office staff, without pressure, allowed me to schedule at my leisure and requested date. The procedure itself was a quick and painless. Myself, opted in for the nitrous as a precaution, but before I knew it Dr. Bellman had completed his work and I was on the road to recovery. I have had no pain, iced for only the first two days, and needed no Tylenol. Procedure was done at 4:30p on a Thursday. I took Friday off as a precaution - but honestly could've come back to the office Friday. Kudos to the entire team for taking an uncomfortable (no pun intended) conversation/procedure and making it an experience worth recommending to anybody considering having it done. Cheers Dr. Bellman and Staff!

Overall, it just felt like a well run office with people who actually care about what they're doing and how their patients feel. Definitely recommend.

    Dr. David Yao seems very knowledgeable about his field in urology. I appreciate how he is always…read morewell behaved, and polite. Thanked me for taking the time out of my busy schedule, to get there, and early. If he's running a little late, he has always apologized so far, although one cannot undo tardiness. But at least he's not late like a lot of these gynecology offices are, and with no apologies nor real attempts to improve, to use as one example. Some of the few things I would say to work on are perhaps to not try to sway a patient to use the portal. If this is in UCLA's staff training, they need to stop doing this. There are many patients like me who prefer for various reasons not to use the portal. And we should never be made to feel that we won't get as good of a response from the doctor and office if we choose not to use it, being direct or indirect about it. We also should not be told falsehoods/insinuations like, how 'everyone else is using the portal" 'it's easier to use than calling in, and that it is implied that "I'm the only one that doesn't use the portal" or maybe even 'most people use the portal- so should you'- kind of a disposition- no matter how true some of those might be, even if)'. This is not so much a singling out of this doctor, but this is to say that a lot of UCLA DOCTORS AND admin staff do indeed do and and imply these things and it is not right. There was also no toilet paper in the restroom when I was being asked to empty my bladder. So I had to wipe my hands on my pants, I've noticed that in many offices offices, the soap is all out in the bathrooms too. This may seem small and/or people would want to minimize such valid concerns, but this all adds up when employees are being evaluated for delivering the patient- centered care that we pay them for. Front desk is 'okay', perhaps like most UCLA staffs, but I'm a pretty cheerful patient, despite the severity of my physical illnesses, so was able to smooth over some of the front desk's abruptness when she was talking loudly to me across the room to put a Mask on. I therefore had to slowly turn around to see Her, and then kindly had to tell tell her to just give me a few seconds as I was trying to set my purse, backpack and bag all down while I was waiting to be taken back to see the MD. In summation, I like the doctor so I'm going to try to stay with him permanently, but hopefully the office will improve with these things permanently.

    A+ office and Dr. Dr Yao is very knowledgeable and he and his staff provided quality care.read more
