Dr. Gershman was amazing. My mom came into his office in very severe condition with a prolapsed bladder and uterus, and he immediately understood how urgently she needed surgery to improve her quality of life. Within about a week and a half of her first visit, he made it possible for her to have surgery. He explained that it would be a difficult procedure due to the severity of her condition, but the surgery went very well and her recovery has been great. My mom is now doing so much better--her bladder issues are gone and she finally has her quality of life back. Dr. Gershman has excellent bedside manner, and both he and his office staff were very kind and supportive during her post-op visits. Our family is extremely grateful for the care he provided. Thank you, Dr. Gershman! read more

I wasn't even really treated by Dr. Gershman just his NP or PA ( I was never told what he is. he could be just an RN for all I know). This place just finds what they can bill for and puts you through tests and procedures just so they can bill your insurance. I did blood test an ultrasound, and intake appointment before i was able to actually sit and talk with the NP/PA about anything. Only to be told upon meeting him that this practice does not manage the specific issue I was referred to him for. His website also claims to manage this issue but I was told they actually don't. They also made a haphazard dose adjustment to one of my medications and it has caused me significant issues and I am having to now find a new provider to manage this medication due to this practice making this adjustment and offering ZERO follow up care. I did meet Dr. Gershman when the NP/PA took me into his office to get his approval on the dose adjustment. He gave the Dr a report. Dr Gershman said okay and that was pretty much it. It does not feel good to spend the time and money on diagnostic tests even though my diagnosis and treatment protocols were established and presented before the appointment. I'm not sure why they couldn't tell me earlier on in this process that they do not manage my type of case. (The following is a response to the offices reply to my review) 1) You claim to never prescribe off label medications YET you made an adjustment and provided a prescription for said adjustment. Knowing full well that you would not be offering ANY sort of follow or care or even an actual referral. I am now suffering with new symptoms as a result of your irresponsible actions when I was stable prior to coming into your clinic. 2) You claim that you provide a referral in cases that you deem out of your scope of expertise which is totally fair... However I was provided no referral. Even when I asked for one. I was told that you don't give referrals like that and to contact my primary care doctor. That is not a referral, that's sending me back to square one. (This review was reposted from google reviews for increased visability/warning) read more

Very friendly office. The stuff was efficient and very nice. The medical assistant Sergei he was welcoming and very informative looking forward going back . read more

Dr Gershman is a trail blazer in the field of urology; a renouned world-class urologist. I was blessed to get hooked up with Dr. Gershman. He and his staff are friendly, very professional, and caring. Everytime I leave his office, I am happy and smiling. Excellent Doctor and staff! read more

I just had a bladder surgery with Dr Alexander Gershman. And all the personal care is Amazing. Im keep getting my follow up They explain everything. Thank you! Dr GERSHAM and Stuff read more

Dr. Gershman help me through a difficult time and he keeps me going with constant checkups. Staff is wonderful and I never wait too long.

My mom's kidney was removed 5/2022 and she passed away 3/2023. She didn't make a full year after Gershman removed her kidney. I ask all black clients of this doctor, please take your health into your own hands. Please let's stop being required to see foreign doctors about our health. Food heals the body. Us as black people have to let go of the processed foods, soul food, sweets, sodas, candy, dairy. We need to start taking our health seriously because there aren't many doctors including Gershman that will care. I wish my mom would have never been seen and treated by this doctor. The only silver lining is that she's no longer suffering and in pain anymore. read more

This was an HMO referral. I waited 52 minutes to be seen. I am then informed this is actually a consultation with the doctor's assistant. My co-pay is $90. I said "so you are going to write down that I want to discuss xyz with the doctor, I will pay you $90, then I can make another appointment to actually see the doctor for another $90?" "Yes, today is just talk." My response "goodbye!" I told reception I will not be paying. This is a scam tactic to get 2 copays. Shame on them. read more

I want to think that's the Gershman and his very professional staff his supporting for everything they did to comfort me before surgery and after surgery, I would recommend Dr Gershman to anyone who just went through what I went through. I felt comfortable and respected the whole time with saying all that I wish that staff and Mr. Gershman the best. read more

The nurses at DR. Gershman's office are very rude, they never answer the phone properly. It's always one word and they hang up the phone. It's hard to work with them. read more

I was approved by my insurance for what I thought would be some tests, but when I went in I sat in the waiting room for a half hour, was called in by someone who I don't think was a doctor, and after he heard my symptoms told me to drink some cranberry juice and come back in six weeks. The whole thing took 90 seconds. Nothing else happened: no tests, no measurements, no vitals taken. Then they had the temerity to charge my insurance company $450 for the "consultation," of which I am responsible for $65. When I called to get clarity I was told a bunch of boilerplate corporate crap about how it's my responsibility to pay from the moment I walk in the office and that this "consultation" was necessary to establish a relationship and get me "in the system." Well, get me out of the system because I can assure you I won't be coming back here. After the punch in the nads this place gave me with their terrible service and unclear communication, I don't them anywhere near my nads again, thank you very much. read more

I feel fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Gershman, as he and his staff are professional, compassionate, and accessible. In these times I don't take any of that for granted. I underwent a procedure today that was not particularly pleasant, but Dr. Gershman made it quick and relatively painless, and he told me that I could contact him over the weekend if I needed to do so. While being in a stressful situation it is good to be in the hands of someone who cares. Additionally, Dr. Gershman worked around my schedule so that I could quickly get in for my procedure. I am happy to say that I highly recommend him if you are in the unfortunate situation of needing his services. read more

The best Doctor and the best office in Los Angeles. Highly professional, caring, friendly, polite. Fast respond, organised, there is no waiting time for visit. Warm people to be around. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Gershman. Not to sound over-dramatic, but he saved my life. I did not know until I read his resume on Wikipedia that he is a world-class surgeon. For my case, he developed an effective treatment plan, which was the most minimally invasive manner to treat a serious condition. When he performed the prostatectomy on me last year, I had zero complications and zero pain from the surgery, only soreness from the incisions. Today, my condition is super promising. I am still under his follow up care. He has been super attentive in every way. If you have a urology issue, I could not recommend him any higher. read more

This is strange to say, but this is the best medical visit I've experienced. I actually left with a smile on my face, which is...uncommon when leaving a doctor's office. Starting with reception, these ladies HUSTLE. The waiting room is full (I'm not surprised this place is popular), but they are always professional, friendly, and calm. I could hear them cracking jokes to each other between calls and patients, and it brings a big smile to my face. One of the ladies is hilarious! I have to get her name next time Moving on to the purpose of my visit: I had an unusual issue that SHOULD have been addressed by my gynecologist but was instead solved here! My gynecologist didn't do anything! She told me she had never heard of my issue, gave me a blood test, and sent me on my way. I realized I could also maybe see a urologist to address my concern, and that's how I ended up at Dr. Gershman's. The man who saw me was not Dr. Gershman, but he was amazing! I wish I had gotten his name, too. Seriously one of the best healthcare practitioners I have ever experienced. He was funny, caring, and so sweet (also handsome, but that doesn't influence this review ). He patiently and thoroughly talked my issue over with me; then he decided on a comprehensive process to figure out what was going on. After giving me an ultrasound and scheduling me for an endoscopy, I learned what my issue was and how to care for my urethra properly. We talked for a while, but I never felt rushed despite the people waiting outside. I still can't believe a urologist solved what was supposed to be a gynecologist's problem. Shoutout also to the woman who gave me my ultrasound! You can tell she's experienced and great at what she does, and I felt comfortable with her. I've had ultrasounds in the past, and they were not pleasant. I'm incredibly thankful to everyone at Dr. Gershman's office. This is the standard that all healthcare should aspire to be. I've been recommending them to everyone needing urological care! read more

While I appreciate their service, many things should be improved. For starters, wait times (once you're admitted) are oftentimes outrageously long. There were instances where I would waiting for 20+ minutes between tests/procedures. (During the cystoscopy, I also had to wait for a very long time, being in an extremely awkward position... Ridiculous!). I've seen other patients complaining about the same thing. It kooks like your staff keeps overbooking... thus excessive wait time. Their responsiveness is also subpar, and they rarely reply to emails, even when important questions are brought up. Also, during one of my visits a doctor refused to give his name (Seriously ?! Don't you know it's illegal!) - which was a bit shady... though I later found out his name was Sergey. All in all, certainly, there is room for improvement. Thank you. read more

I am a current patient of Dr. Gershman. Dr. Gershman and his staff are top-tier professionals, always responsive and helpful. They are specialists of the highest level, who always prioritize patients' needs. More than 10 years ago, Dr. Gershman successfully performed a very complicated surgery on emergency basis for me. Since then, I have been his regular patient. I am grateful to him and his staff not only for the excellent care that they provide but also for significantly improving my quality of life. While I sometimes receive treatment in Europe also, I see how other doctors abroad in Dr. Gershman's field regard him as a professional of the highest degree. During these upcoming holidays, I am very grateful to Dr. Gershman and his staff for all of the great work that they do and wish they only the best health, happiness and success in the indispensable services that they provide to me and all of their patients. read more

Very efficient, down to earth, and caring and I;m keeping him and his wonderful office staff.

For the last 5 years I have had huge problems with kidney stones. In my country, not a single surgeon wanted to take responsibility for my life and perform an operation. My close relatives have experienced many years of severe stress. Dr. Alexander Gershman operated on me and not only saved me, but also helped me start life. Dr. Gershman is the best doctor I have ever met. He showed me great attention, kindness, compassion and gave me confidence that everything will be fine. My family and I will always be grateful that Dr. Gershman brought me back to life. Thank you very much DOCTOR! Edward Mankov 05/10/23 read more

A week ago I went to this clinic for a consultation by phone, paid $350, Dr. Alexander Gershman talked to me for a minute asking for my tests and after that he just disappeared. I called this clinic several more times and each time the assistant Regina assured me that the doctor would contact me, but these were empty words read more

Dr. Gershman and his team are world-class professionals -- and I am blessed to have been under their care. Dr. Gershman was able to identify an issue that had been misdiagnosed and gone unresolved for many years.

His team was with me every step of the way and now I am living pain free! 10 stars for this team! read more

Dr. Alexander Gresham is a life saver literally! I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for his services. He accomplished 3 successful surgeries on me.

Alexander Gershman MD - Best Staff - Surgeons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My HONEST comment... Arrived with 3 large hernias (diverticulum) growing out of my bladder & a serious prostate blockage problem... Note: I spent the past two years searching for a solution, and, catheterizing myself for the past five months four times per day - while working - it was a nightmare. yes, I was (literally), reaching the end of the line. After trying a couple of useless urologists that wasted months of my time w/endless tests (including the dreadful Cystoscopy) that drained my soul... I landed at Dr Gershman's Clinic. All the necessary pre-op tests were done at his facility, very quickly. They have a GREAT, super solid team over there. The doctor is a very serious, very sleek & scientific kinda person. During the last pre-op visit, he stared at my eyes, and assured me with a firm handshake: "Do not worry... we gonna take good care of you". Still, you never know, right?... well, the doc delivered 100%. We went in for a delicate double procedure (same day), Dr Alexander Gershman operated on me w/extreme precision (master)... six weeks later (today) I am back at work AND fully recovered... feel LIKE NEW!!! Honestly... I feel like a new man now - So, today, I gave him a big THANK YOU hug. ------ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

He butchered up my circumcision so bad. I have to go to another urologist and repeat the procedure. There were even extra burn marks on my penis. This has been the most painful experience for me and can't even describe the mental trauma. Maybe he was good in the past with all the pictures in his office but now its a different story. He's there just to rush you and see the next patient. There are definitely fake reviews on his profile. Look up his history on California medial board. He was fired from Cedars-Sinai. Hope you don't have to go through what I went through. Please stay away! read more

Just an update from my last review. Everything is still great here, the staff is very courteous and professional, and the doctor is helpful and very informative with any questions and concerns I have. I will continue to come here as long as needed. read more

I've never been good with doctors, they always seem so Dismissive, but doctor Gershman and his amazing team are always there for me at advanced Urology, they have literally saved my life. I unfortunately Produce kidney stones like chicklits, every year and a half or 2. For the last 8 years or so. Dr. Gershman and his team have been there at every step. They see me so much it almost seems like family. I know They wish that I would send them cards instead of bring them stones . I know that my wife appreciates knowing that they're there when I need them. This provides me great comfort and her the peace of knowing that I'm in good hands when I'm in their's. I am forever grateful. read more

I do not recommend this place. I have never been treated so poorly in a medical facility. I was send here to have a procedure done they not only botched my procedure but they blatantly lied to my insurance company when I made a complaint. I was laughed at by receptionist when I inquired about how the surgery would look after healing. Her response was" honey this is not a plastic surgery office" the doctor mid procedure spoke mostly Russian so I wasn't aware of what was going on. He also took a phone call in his earbuds while still operation me. Post survey when I removed the bandages I could already see that it was poorly done and when I returned they would just send me home saying it was normal. Now it's 4 months later and I'm still suffering from this bad procedure and I refuse to go back. Definitely go somewhere else you do not wanna deal with this dr. read more

I was referred to Dr Gershman by a friend of mine for my dads kidney stone problems. I really appreciated the help that they gave my dad. He and his are awesome.

After the procedure, my dad was super happy and ultimately received relief from his pain. Definitely would recommend anyone to go to him. read more
