Warning: Long review about Male infertility, IVF, Testosterone, Urologist…read more When my wife and I faced fertility challenges, her doctor recommended a semen analysis for me. The results were shocking: I had azoospermia--zero sperm in my ejaculate. I was devastated. Those were the darkest, most painful days of my life, and even now, the memory is haunting. I began searching for a urologist and I am immensely grateful to have found Dr. Karpman. As some reviews mention, he can be very straightforward and less emotionally soft at first--but to me, that was irrelevant. What truly matters is expertise, and that is where Dr. Karpman shines. Some reviews also note long wait times, but in my opinion, that is minor compared to finding a doctor who truly knows what they are doing. Dr. Karpman conducted another semen analysis, blood tests, and confirmed my azoospermia. He diagnosed it as non-obstructive based on a physical examination alone. His expertise became evident when he suggested an MRI of my pituitary gland after reviewing my hormone levels. The scan revealed an abnormality that might have been overlooked elsewhere. Unlike some doctors who may have immediately suggested surgical sperm retrieval, Dr. Karpman recommended medications to stimulate my pituitary gland. After three months on the medication, my semen analysis showed a few thousand non-motile sperm. While modest, it was encouraging--there was hope. Six months later, my sperm count had improved enough for IVF. I continued the treatment for several years as my wife and I navigated the challenging IVF and ICSI process. Throughout, I consistently had sufficient sperm for every egg retrieved. After multiple IVF attempts, chemical pregnancies, and even miscarriage, we finally achieved our dream. Today, I am holding my 6.5-month-old beautiful baby, and words cannot express my gratitude to Dr. Karpman. I still remember the day I feared I would never become a father. Never say never. I am not a religious person, but Dr. Karpman's treatment feels like a divine blessing. I sincerely wish him all the best and hope that anyone reading this who faces similar struggles will consider consulting him.

A spermatocele is a cyst (sac of fluid) that contains sperm. It forms inside your scrotum on the outside of your testicle.) The doctor's initial consultation was to the point, full of background data, informative, he let me see the ultrasound tests with him, and most importantly he let me make the final decision. Pre surgery.... he stopped in to check on me during prep. The anesthesiologist also followed him to check on me. Very genuine, personable and alert. Post surgery .... was able to take a question from me via phone with no waiting. Very grateful for the fine service. This was my third recent visit at this surgical center and I must say I'm very impressed with all the surgeons, nurses and admins. They run a tight ship here. Very clean and very professional . I don't think you can go wrong with any of the staff here.

Compassionate, skilled urologist who helped my dad when no one else would…read more My 73‑year‑old dad recently had a urinary retention emergency and was in severe pain with a catheter in place. Locally, we couldn't get a timely urology appointment even with an urgent referral, so we went to see Dr. Wesley Kong at El Camino Health Urology out of pocket. From the first visit, Dr. Kong was a lifesaver for my dad: * He took the time to review my dad's ER records and explain clearly what was going on with his severely enlarged prostate. * He removed the catheter safely, did a careful voiding trial, and made sure my dad could urinate on his own before letting him leave. * He started the right medications, monitored my dad closely, and set up a logical plan for follow‑up and long‑term management. * He spoke to us with respect and empathy, answered all our questions, and treated my dad as a person, not a number. Thanks to Dr. Kong, my dad's pain improved, he got off the catheter, and we finally felt like someone was truly looking out for him. We drove from the Central Valley to the Bay Area to see him, and it was worth every mile and every penny. I highly recommend Dr. Wesley Kong and the El Camino Health Urology team to anyone looking for a urologist who is not only highly competent, but also kind, patient, and truly committed to his patients' well‑being.

My experience is PAMF has a big problem in its urology department. I strongly recommend to find…read morecare elsewhere unless you know someone there you already have good relationship with and respect for. I would recommend strongly against this physician. There was nothing remotely like "hello nice to meet you." Not even close. As Phonsombat entered the room he was already speaking in a raised tone of voice , I had never laid eyes on him before yet he was angry. Pushy, plowing ahead without seeking / allowing a word from me, said I "talked to" this person or that person as though to use that as a threat, was verbally aggressive, wanting to subjugate, construing my medical picture as dire without bothering to acquire one word of information directly from me, or, refer to medical conventions, statistics regarding data pertaining to outcomes. I've made critical comments about other Urologists at PAMF .... I suspect Phonsombat has taken on the task of the Urology department "hit man". He isn't the first. He was not able to comment on a question about a drug I'm taking, a commonly prescribed drug in urology. I answered it for him after the fact. He does not resemble a solid stable seasoned professional in any way I could see. Read all the books no doubt, anybody can do that. Possesing a depth of character and humanity, that is a different matter. That is what makes a great doc. I had decided on the newest treatment well known for yielding equivalent result with fewer side effects. Phonsombat used the hackneyed "that is not proven" to weakly attempt diminish that decision. That is the "weasel" response of the century used in American medicine (that would be the system that is on track all by itself to bankrupt the wealthiest nation) , it's like saying global heating isn't proven. We will never be able to afford double blind proof of everything so we need to be smart about integrating empiric evidence ... or perish. It's not complicated but does require smarts. The bizzare part, he was angry and didn't even realize it, so natural. In what universe does a doctor begin a first meeting with a new patient in an angry state and not realize it.? If he was aware .... well that is substandard medical care and indicates he is an emotionally bereft as regards self awareness. Avoid this guy like the plague. Further checking regarding medical facts reveal he is clueless in factual matters here. I'm 72 with a lifetime of experience with world class old school physicians , firstly my father a beloved pediatrician, public health official and founder of Redwood Medical in Redwood City. I also have MD degree and trained with game changing psychology , medical /psychiatric researchers prior to getting a medical degree. This unsavory picture is repeating itself with PAMF urologists. Another PAMF urologist Keith Lee blew a gasket and withheld proper care I'm sure because he needs to be up on a pedestal and is not in my eyes. I received a threatening letter from someone claiming to be the "clinical coordinator" at PAMF urology, a woman who is clearly unstable , angry , obviously disturbed. She threatened to cut off all medical care after my observations about other PAMF docs I regard as substandard. She singled out one comment and worked very (very) hard, we're talking serious overtime, at trying to misconstrue me as racist. Not only does she appear to be uneducated she was unable to leave her rage out of her (so called) professional life. If you are going to be a professional you need to learn to leave that stuff at home, or better yet, heal it completely. To me its shocking PAMF would employ someone like that. Its ominous about PAMF. I also have to say I've met a few really top notch docs at PAMF. Top of the heap, good people.
