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!!!

Everything went well from the ease of scheduling appointments to check out. The front desk staff was professional and prompt from uploading documents to getting him seen within 15 min of arrival Octavia, the nurse, was very sweet. She introduced herself and gave a bit of background about herself and the purpose of her role during his visit. She asked thorough questions and repeated his responses back to him for clarification. Dr. Shapiro came in 10 min after she entered the notes. He was very nice and polite. He asked follow-up questions that Octavia had previously asked for clarification on. He explained thoroughly why my dad was on specific medications and their role. He ordered bloodwork in which it was done in-house. He also ordered imaging (PET scan) and prescription refills. The Phlobotomist was sweet and funny! She and my dad hit it off well. She suggested he drink more water considering it was difficult to find a vein. My dad says well may I should have had a glass of wine! . She laughed and stated that it would not be a good idea As previously stated check out was good. On the way home I received a call from the office scheduling the PET scan. We were able to get the day/time we wanted. All in all, it was a very good visit! I'm very pleased with the staff and Dr. Shapiro. If you or a family member needs a Urologist, give them a call. From my understanding, there are other locations.

My ex-husband was given a catheter in February. He was told it couldn't be taken out until he had…read moreprostate surgery...which he agreed to. Then, they postponed surgery FOR SEVEN MONTHS. 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.

First, they will push whatever the local pharmaceutical rep is selling. Once you find out that's not covered by insurance, they'll send another prescription to the pharmacy. Then they'll take 2-3 weeks to send the authorization, during which time the pharmacy will drop your standing prescription. I have been to the pharmacy multiple times, called the Dr's office multiple times, spoken with my insurance multiple times, and still do not have my prescription after waiting for 2 months. They milk your insurance, push pharma rep preferred name brands (likely with kickbacks), and don't really care how long it takes to get your medication to you. I eventually gave up and will now have to start the process over with another urologist. Save yourself and headache and GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! Quite possibly the worst experience I have had with any medial office.

This I knew because Georgia Urology did my procedure seven years ago. So he wanted to put in a new stent, I told him a day before the procedure do not under any circumstances. So he didn't and it's a miracle "all the stones" were removed this time... So I was called in early for the procedure, and prepped immediately to go back, I was so happy. Only to find out the wait was indefinite, about 90 min. The nurses were tired of me asking so they decided to turn up the music at the nurses station, very rude. When I arrived financial acknowledged they felt bad about my night in the ER! As they should but it was nice of her to say. She was the most competent person I dealt with in the entire office. So they remove the stent/stones and I nearly bled to death when the nurse took out the IV. There's a lot of incompetence and greed. The doctor has the knowledge but chooses the most expensive way to remove stones. I feel like this is a pill mill, but for surgical procedures....so they can over charge you and your insurance company. I'm a little guy, but I believe I need to do more than write reviews about this. This is too serious. They are getting away with neglect and bad practices, maybe even more.... If you have had a bad surgical, or billing experience with Advanced Urology, I would like to hear your story! If you haven't, save your time, money and maybe your life by going somewhere else.
