Worst of the worst. No doubt my Dad would have lived longer not meeting him. Horrible things happened to my Dad in his practice, then wouldn't refer him to an oncologist and didn't want to prescribe pain meds for stage 4 cancer. cant get a hold of the office staff and they don't call back. RUN AWAY from here! read more

It's almost impossible to contact the front office. They don't answer or return calls as you would expect. I had several visits preparing me for a procedure with Dr. Sethi. This was a humiliating procedure for a man, not much talk preparing me of the entire process and what to expect. This was called a urolift. The treatment failed! After all I went through the end results Left me with zero improvement not to mention the cost and charges to the insurance carrier. After a post-op visit I was told to make another appointment and the doctor would take another look down my man hood to see what went wrong. I cancelled that appointment and since then have not had anyone reach out to me, concerned about me. Really disappointed . read more

Quality care, dr.Sabra is professional and provides comfort during what can often be a very stressful procedure. A lot of people leave bad reviews, but I think it's mainly because of the experience they may be going through not so much the doctors fault sometimes this things you can't control in life but at least there's people in this world that can make it better. I appreciate Golden State urology. read more

Ofc is professional and runs on time Dr and staff are knowledgeable patient and caring. The Dr has a sense of humor once you are relaxed with him I guess his line if work it helos with the possible embarrassment. My husband was put at ease. read more

Terrible office staff. My regular doctor called in a referral to them and after 6 months I gave up because after 10 phone calls, nobody had the courtesy to respond. They kept telling me I was on the wait list, but I could never get thru to the staff that booked appointments. Awful experience and I was never able to get an appointment. If I had a serious problem, I could be dead by now, still waiting after 1 year. I know urology is in short supply these days, but there is no excuse for treating people this way. read more

I gave Golden State Urology five stars because I couldn't see any reason not to. Everyone there was kind and professional and I don't know enough about the process to not give them the benefit of the doubt. My experience below is not to judge as much as to inform. I believe the 'procedure' was called a urolift but I am not positive and it was the first step needed to take care of my bladder and kidney problems. I will update this review as the process continues but the other patients in the waiting room have only had praise for Dr Sethi. Anyway, here is my story. It only took a couple of days of massive pain in my side to decide to go to the local emergency room and find out what the hell was wrong me. After running a few tests they decided I had kidney stones, kidney disease, and something else wrong with my kidneys. For some reason they did not think that was the source of the pain so they prescribed some pain killers and suggested I visit my primary care physician to set up an appointment with a urologist. That led to an appointment with Dr Sethi at Golden State Urology. I thought he was going to go over my blood test and the information he received from the emergency room at Methodist Hospital. I even brought in a kidney stone the size of a very large pea that had fallen out of my penis the weekend before. He had something else in mind though. I was instructed to go to the bathroom to empty my bladder and come back to the room, drop my pants to my knees and cover my junk with a towel. A few minute later Dr Sethi entered the room and very nonchalantly said "this might feel a little cold" and stuck a camera up my penis. Holy mother from hell that burned! The next thing I knew, I was looking at a very swollen, sad looking bladder with another kidney stone that looked like the twin of the one that had fallen from my penis the weekend before. After kindly removing his camera from my penis, Dr Sethi instructed me to empty my bladder and return to the room for a ultra sound that revealed that my bladder did not drain properly and I would need a 'procedure'. Fast forward three week and I returned with Ida (my significant other) to have this "procedure'. I was asked if I would be interested in paying an extra $100 for nitrous oxide and after a little discussion I decided a valium and some local pain killer would be fine. My advice, take the nitrous. A few minutes later the man in charge of administering the drugs and setting up the "procedure" brought a valium and some antibiotics to me in the waiting room. It wasn't too much longer before I was lying on a table without my pants. The man in charge of the meds and setting up the 'procedure' then tented my upper body so I could not watch what was going to take place and stuck some local up my penis. Let me tell you, that was when I knew this was not going to be any trip to Disneyland. I made sure to inform Ida that she was in charge of the family jewels since I could not see what was going on. Whatever they stuck up my penis, I don't really know but I think it was a big, hard, stiff tube and it hurt like hell and I suddenly felt like I needed to take a hot, burning, bloody piss. I was told they were draining my bladder but the rather unpleasant sensation I was getting felt more like my bladder was going to overflow. I was told that was from the pressure. Then it felt like the doc stuck something else up the tube and was moving it around trying to properly position it while the burning sensation and the pain increased immensely. Why did I not choose the nitrous? This could have been much more pleasant if only I had chosen the nitrous oxide. I was then told I would hear a snap and not to jump. "Snap"..."ouch, that fricking hurt". It felt like the tip of my penis where all of the nerve ending are had been slammed in a mouse trap while a chunk had been hacked from my inner organs. Doc Sethi; "I told you not to jump when you heard the snap." I think I heard a hint of humor in his voice. Humor is always a good thing when you are being tortured. Short story, after repeating the above several times, the 'procedure' was mercifully over. Now it was time to get my prescriptions. You guessed, I was given my prescriptions and sent to my pharmacy to stand in line. Fortunately, I had thought ahead and brought a pair of depends so, when I was standing in line with my bladder and the tip of my penis burning and not sure I could control the urine and blood from doing what it pleased, at least I had the comfort of know it was being contained and concealed. The pain killers mainly just made me feel drugged and did very little for the pain. It was very painful to urinate for the next few days and it was even more painful not to.I could blame this on the doctor but I am pretty sure he would have done much more if only my medical insurance had paid for it. I don't know? Maybe I just have a very low pain tolerance these days? read more

Golden State Urology - Before stirrups - Urologists Near Me - Sacramento, California

One of the worst clinics I ever dealt with. I tried to make an appointment for my 84 year father to remove his catheter, the office said they will call back, but they never did. Then we called them again 2 days later, they said we need a referral. Why was it not mention in the first conversation?!!! After my father's doctor faxed over the referral, I had to call them the next day to make appointment and they said they will call me if I don't hear back in 3 days, I should call them back to ask. WTF!!! I don't time have to play tag, my father is in pain and need to remove his catheter asap. How is this acceptable? I'm so disappointed in our healthcare system. read more

Hands down worst clinic to even deal with. They arnt organize, the front clerk doesn't now how to communicate or listen well. Nothing to do with race but the intellect level of the whole entire clinic. I honestly have only the worst to say about this clinic. Hope it shuts down soon read more

Dr. Sethi is good. Office staff is a complete clown show, a train wreck. Front desk is uncaring and unfriendly. Spent two years there getting billed by my insurance for test I never authorized, waiting forever on hold when I called and forever to see the doctor. Finally left for a new doctor and when the new doctor requested my records...nothing. New doctor put in 2 requests over a 2 month period with NO response from Golden State. I finally had to drive down and get the records myself and they had the nerve to still charge $25. I asked them why after two requests for records over two months were ignored all the said was " I don't know". That's the office staff in a nutshell, they don't know anything. Stay AWAY from this place if you can. read more

Tried to make an appointment for days. They do NOT return calls at all! Then when I finally booked at appointment and arrived at my appointment they said I came in the wrong day. Do they think I would have the wrong date after I have tried to make an appointment foe them for weeks? OMG!! I would give them ZERO stars if I can. read more

The Doctors and staff at Golden State Ufology are extremely professional and knowledgeable. Soon after my sixtieth year milestone, I find myself more and more in need of medical care than I had ever before imagined. I have so much confidence in the Doctors ability, and their genuine concern for my well being, that routine appointments are damn near a pleasure. I know it sounds crazy, but It's true. And on my way out the door, I'm generally wearing a smile because I feel so well cared for. At my current age, I really need that. Sincerely-Thank you! read more

Was with my brother today on visit for his Prostate cancer. Amanda was amazing, great bedside manner. The doctor did an excellent job answering questions. Thank you read more

The doctor's are wonderful but the staff (not all staff but majority) are no help at all. They get referrals and don't contact people to let them know they have the referral in the office. They don't care how patient is feeling or how much pain they are in. It's not their pain and it's to much trouble to reschedule an appointment. Most people who gave them 5 stars were 3 years ago. The recent reviews are mostly 1 star. To anyone who have had kidney stones and know how painful they are which is like giving birth without an epidural. My kidney stones have to be blasted out because they are to big to pass and my doctor wrote ASAP and their idea of ASAP was over 3 weeks. I only wish the people who make the appointments would get kidney stones and not get an appointment for that long and see how they do! I can only wish, maybe I'll get a voodoo doll. Don't think I won't be complaining to the doctor when I get in there. I am not a complainer nor do I write negative remarks but I am upset!! And like I said the doctor's are great and I have a very good rapport with both doctors. With the doctors I am always smiling and laughing. That won't be happening this appointment! read more

100 Scores,5 Stars perfect nice Doctor. Appreciate him forever. I never forget. Enthusiasm,charitable,mercy ,patience,everything satisfactory.The best of the best I never seen. read more

Always waiting forever at this office. As much as we appreciate Dr. Sethi, I wish they would do something about the wait time. We've been waiting for almost an hour and a half now. He has a lot of patients, but we have not been told why the others have gone ahead of us or how much longer we need to wait. Stars are all for the doctor. read more

Do not go here. Scheduled appointment for 10:30, it's 11:20 now and he's yet to come in the room. This doctor clearly over books his days with too many patients & doesn't respect anyone's daily schedule other than his own. I have somewhere to be at 11:45 so I have to leave now. The nurse asked me to reschedule but I don't think I'll be scheduling anything with this horrible & disrespectful doctor that's money hungry and doesn't care for his patients. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

Do not recommend. Appt was for my elderly mother. Was not told would not be meeting with doctor but with NP in exam room. Told that only drug available to prescribe was a non patented drug that was not covered on insurance and is $500 a month, but conveniently had sample to provide. Told that invasive procedure was also necessary and then it was scheduled -not given any options. Large screen in waiting room advertising sculpting procedure that looks like is done by relative which don't see how it is connected to urology. Not only disappointed but disturbed that drug prescribed/recommended was not patented-made us feel that we were experiment and can't help but wonder if doctor is making $$$ with drug recommendIation read more

If I could give them -1 stars, I would have. I'm the caregiver, power of attorney for my 79 soon to be 80 year old mother. My mom was referred here by her primary care physician. My mom has Alzheimer's and dementia. Dr. Thomas Sorbera, confirmed my mother's bladder cancer diagnosis. She had surgery in May. I was informed there's a 50/50 chance the cancer would return due her cancer being highly aggressive. At her June 29th visit, another view of the bladder showed the cancer had returned and another area didn't heal. Dr. Sorbera told mom her cancer returned and a new surgery would be scheduled. My said, "Cancer? Who said I have cancer? When did I get cancer? How did I get cancer? Dr. Sorbera's reply was "I don't know. You tell me". I was instantly angry, frustrated and disappointed. Are you freaking kidding me? Do these people not read the chart? I couldn't even ask the questions that I needed to ask for better understanding and clarification of what happens after the 2nd surgery. I ushered my mother to the waiting area and then made my way back to the doctors office to speak with him about what just occurred. Her condition WAS NOT documented in the chart. I've reminded them on EVERY visit. I explained SHE DOES NOT REMEMBER. Her short-term memory is BAD. Everytime I bring her, I have to re-explain so she understands in real time. Dr. Sorbera said that he thought she was making a joke. He said she seems normal functioning. That was the explanation for his distasteful reply during her examination. He also confirmed that her chart was NOT documented. WOW . Dr. Sorbera also said, "So, the surgery....". I said, "No, she doesn't remember. I take her for her labs, pre-op stuff and she's confused. I bring her for surgery, she's confused. She doesn't remember". I let him know that as her daughter, I'm super stressed by ALL of this. While, my mother seems normal functioning to him, she is not. Her short-term memory is bad. She can remember when she was a little girl but not things that happening currently. He seemed to understand. I spoke to Jade, in the Stockton office on July 8th to schedule the 2nd surgery. I shared my concerns from the June 29th visit. She checked the computer and there still wasn't a notation about my mom being an Alzheimer's patient. The explanation was that they recently changed computer systems......AND what ‍.... Jade said she would add a note at the top for it to be seen. She'd figure out how to do that. I also requested a called from the doctor. She confirmed they are still having only one doctor do the surgery, Dr. Sethi, but she'd leave a message for Dr. Sorbera to call me. No call yet. This place really sucks! I've made several attempts to reach a "live" person in the Sacramento office that can assist me with leaving a message or scheduling an in person consult so that I may get some questions answered. JESUS, please take the wheel and help me. I'm just praying this medical practice doesn't mistreat my mother because they THINK she's normal functioning. I can only go so far with her on the surgery days. I'm horribly disappointed and irritated. Did I forget to mention, I'm afraid for my mother's prognosis. As of now, I don't know what her prognosis is. I ABSOLUTELY DO "NOT", I MEAN "DO NOT" RECOMMEND THIS PRACTICE. read more

Went in for procedure and staff are very nice and professional. Start to finish everything went smooth!

WARNING: On March 6, 2020 I was at Golden State Urology (GSU) because I had an initial appointment to schedule a prostate biopsy. Prior to the appointment I was a Kaiser member and my urologist had informed me I needed a prostate biopsy. I had been on active surveillance because my PSA numbers were low for the past 10 years. However, during the 10 year period, I had 2 other biopsies at Kaiser. At my appointment at GSU I also requested I be sedated during the procedure. I was informed the additional cost for sedation would be $100.00. The biopsy was scheduled on March 20, 2020, but no instructions to prepare for the biopsy were given to me. At my previous two biopsies at Kaiser I remembered I had been given instructions. So, on March 17th I went back to GSU to ask for instructions. Had I NOT returned and obtained the instructions, I wouldn't have known I needed to take an antibiotic prior to the biopsy. On day of the procedure, two of the assistants didn't know how to open the cylinders and get the Nitrous Oxide N2O to work for sedation. During the biopsy I screamed and sobbed because I don't believe the N2O and gas mask worked. The biopsy was EXTREMELY PAINFUL, AGONIZING and TORTUROUS. On April 3, 2020 I called the office to express my concern and was informed that prostate biopsies at GSU are standard and usually very painful. I have now changed my medical insurance back to Kaiser. I will NOT return to GSU and I do NOT recommend Golden State Urology. read more

WORST DOCTORS AND DOCTOR'S OFFICE EVER!!!!!!!!! AVOID AT ALL COST!!!!! I have had several visits. Every visit I had to wait 45 minutes to one hour. The last appointment, took 2 weeks top schedule I waited one hour and the doctor asked me to repeat what I had told the front desk. After that he(Dr. Sobera) say he would look into it. An appointment to pass a message to the doctor! He said he would send the prescription in again. Two weeks later I called the office to find out what happened to the prescription. They didn't know and told me to call the pharmacy, which I did. The pharmacy said that the only prescription that they received was for a sample and they only give that to doctors. They did not fill the prescription because of this. After four call to the doctor's office and two calls to the pharmacy I have made not progress. The calls, including long hold times have taken up the last 4 hours of my life and accomplished nothing. read more
