Yes. Top notch! Took care of my problem with extreme care and his skills are extraordinary!

An absolute godsend. Amazing, empathetic and responsive. Truly one of the kindest, most caring medical professionals I have ever met. Will never be able to thank him for his kindness and immediate attention in an emergency situation. read more

Dr Faulkner made an awkward surgery the best with his positive and friendly bedside manner. He has a way of connecting and showing a caring approach to Health care! Great experience read more

I have been a patient of his for over 20 years. When he had his own practice, his patient care was drastically different than it is now that he is with Eisenhower. It appears that Eisenhower has him running procedures generating revenue for the hospital at the expense of him giving adequate patient car. recently after my third kidney stone known under this care - well it was dealt with rather casually. I needed a clinical progress note for the qualification medical needed for my work. Three weeks of asking for that, I was never given that and went into my physical without those progress notes that delayed my physical, and added huge of anxiety was not needed and certainly generated from a not doing what he needs to do to complete his patient care after he's procedure. He told me in a MyChart message that I was a bigger and that he doesn't need a lecture from me as to the standards of his profession ( that being the clinical progress notes ). His focus appears to be production for the Eisenhower Hospital and asked for a reason why I shouldn't file a complaint with the hospital the medical board, I was clearly told "he was expecting this letter" and go ahead and talk to Marty. The attitude of this gentleman right now is very questionable as far as to his ethics in medicine and patient care. He seems to be very casual in his approach in light of a patient who has had numerous kidney stones in the past, which if he really practiced patient care, he would have devised a protocol know to him to help me prevent such stones. Even after the first kidney stone under his care no clear guidance was given. It was only after my insistence and asking lots of questions that I insisted on him ordering a 24 hour urinalysis. Even after the results of that, there was no discussion from him and it was only upon my insistence on based upon the lab results that I asked him if I need to see a dietitian or do I need to see a nephrologist. A nephrologist refereal was made and it took me six months to see their nephrologist. Between Dr. Faulkner, and the nephrologist I was only told to drink more water. Just a week ago after I received my medical for work my primary care doctor said could not understand why John Faulkner did not prescribe medication called potassium citrate. So my primary care physician even though he's not a urologist Wrote the prescription. John Faulkner, 20 years ago should've offered this as part of his after procedure but never did. It's almost like he doesn't want to and as urologist they don't care about people that have kidney stones. It's not a big revenue generator for them like prostate cancer or other urological disorders that require surgical procedures. John Faulkner should not be your first choice of people in the practice of urology. Oh, I forgot to tell you about last year and going under general anesthesia 3 times in a week for a simple laser procedure on a stone. totally improper medical practice for this procedure resulted in a huge amount of pain over and above that kidney stone during that week. Do not be fold by what appears to be a very nice demeanor in the with his ability to treat you under the standards of his licensed practice in medicine. read more

I had a 8 mil Kidney stone and Eisenhower Hospital recommended Dr.Falukner to me. I am so glad they did He is a fantastic Doctor,he was very polite and helpful. He operated on me, I was very nervous but ha made me feel safe and comfortable. His follow up afterwards was perfect and he has continued to take care of me and make sure I never have another stone. I highly recommend this wonderful professional Doctor read more

Did you notice that all of Dr. Faulkner's reviews are 5 stars, except for one? And the one that has only one star NEVER even went to him as a patient! How can that even be allowed? What is interesting is the reviewer complained about the 5 month wait to see him. Well, I had to wait 9 months but once you see him you will understand WHY there is such a long wait. BECAUSE HE IS THE BEST DAMN UROLOGIST PERIOD and no one would ever want to leave his practice. He is not only medically very knowledgable, but extremely patient, kind and compassionate. And has a great sense of humor. He is dedicated to his work and his patients. He always gets back to me quickly e when I have a problem and is very helpful with my complex medical issues. For this doctor, Yelp needs to allow TEN STARS!!! read more

He is terrific at his specialty and very likable. I've been a patient for 8 years. Super doctor and extremely popular, which unfortunately you might wait quite som time to get an appointment. David D Palm Springs read more

He is amazing! I have never had a doctor to not only be knowledgeable but as caring and thorough as Dr. Faulkner. I have a complicated medical issue, and he has tirelessly tried many options to get my situation under control. I am very grateful to him. read more

By far "THE BEST DOCTOR IN THE WORLD". Dr. Faulker is remarkable! Actually, looks at your chart from the past and discusses everything with you. He is patient and spends time understanding a persons concerns and needs. Yes, he is not easy to get into but the wait is well worth it. The staff is amazing, everyone especially Ana. I feel so lucky and blessed to have his practice as my doctor. What a "MENCH" and I mean it. Such a pleasure to meet a doctor so thorough and fantastic! I am one lucky woman! A big thank you to the amazing staff! read more

Dr Faulkner performed surgery last November. I could tell within four months that the procedure did not remedy the problem. Now he won't respond to several contacts I have made for an appointment and for a Rx to alleviate resulting pain. read more

Great medical treatment. Dr Faulkner has a relaxed yet efficient way that makes the whole experience pleasant. a very competent and friendly staff as well. read more

I finally got to see Dr. Faulkner and was very impressed with his knowledge, the time he took to look at My Chart, his ability to answer my questions and have a true physician/patient conversation. He definitely knows how to make the patient experience outstanding. One of the best physicians I have seen since moving to Rancho Mirage. Highly recommend Dr. Faulkner. read more

Seems like a solid referral. However, the advance booking time for new patients is into October, 2023. Is a patient with an illness expected to wait 9 months to be seen. I had high hopes by Dr. Faulkner's recommendation but, seriously? read more

Not accepting new patients. You will not find out until you wait in queue and then give them your info. Oddly, they will not put this on their phone message. Are they being selective in the new patients they accept? Fine. But. Be respectful of the time of patients who are in pain and need help. read more

Like many patients, I have had many Urologists. Similar procedures with terrible interactions and ill mannered Doctors. This guy is GREAT!! My recent procedure and stent removal was flawless and skilled. Great demeanor, great staff and just so lucky to research him. It took 6 months to get in but I had a chronic kidney stone recurrence and luckily no emergency as in the past. He educated me about the nutrition aspects for the future and .......thank you Dr. Faulkner. read more

How do you begin. It started with a really bad kidney stone attack and I went to the emergency room. Dr. Faulkner was luckily on call Sunday June 18th. The emergency room told me I I was just set up with the best. Now I don't really know what the best is in terms of going up inside of me to lasso on to my kidneys and install a stent. But this guy truly made it sound like it was not a big deal and Eisenhower Medical Center definitely backed that up, they made this process very pleasant very much not a big deal and everybody at the Eisenhower Medical Center was absolutely wonderful. But to finalize this just want to say Dr Faulkner is the kind of guy you want to be on your side. I'm sure he even makes a trueriffic friend... read more

To start, I hate urologists. I have had several bad, bad, experiences in the past, which I won't detail here. So when my prostatitis recurred after a seven year hiatus, I dreaded having to visit a urologist again. I called Dt. Faulkner's office fully expecting a delay of sevetal weeks. When I explained my situation, his scheduler got me in in 3 days, god bless her. His PA had actually reviewed my history and was very professional and thorough. Dr. Faulkner, who looks much younger than his age, also had read my history and wasted no time getting to my issues. He listened and responded with empathy and understanding. He took a lot of time listening and responding to my concerns and questions. I still don't like urologists in general, but Dr. Faulkner is AOK with me. read more

I was unable to pass a Kidney Stone, and I was fortunate enough that Dr John Faulkner was the urologist on-call at Eisenhower Hospital. He not only easily took care of my medical issue, but he also calmed the fears of my husband and I, explained the process, and treated us more like friends than patients/customers. Dr Faulkner's practice is booked 6 months in advanced, and he is "the best Urologist in the valley", so, him being in the ER rotation the week that I had my medical issue was our great fortune! One day later, recovering nicely! read more

Dont bother just called. 1st available appt is October, 2019 and its May (5 mos). His NP (2 mos). For most reasons to see a Urologist 2-5 mos would be hard to wait. Not much empathy and no suggestions from receptionists. read more

Awesome doctor Knowledgeable, skilled and compassionate. Have been to his office many times and have had friends and family go as well.... never any issues. Extremely high recommend. read more

Dr. Faulkner saved my life again removing a 10mm kidney stone .. He's so personable, knowledgeable, and funny ! I just adore him .

After moving to the desert, I needed to find a new urologist. Dr. Faulkner has been treating me for a year and a half now, and is absolutely fabulous. He has a sincere, caring interest in his patients. Great staff also! read more

Agree with prior reviewer.... Dr Faulkner and staff are excellent. Dr. Faulkner was even recommended by his colleagues in the same field that said "his skills are better than mine" -- that takes a lot of guts for a doc in the same field that has been around longer to say something like that. Have had family members see him as well. Highest ratings in all categories hands down - knowledge, demeanor, bedside manner, work ethic etc etx... parking very convenient with covered parking in the medical complex.. read more

DR Faulkner is the best doctor i ever had the staff is excellent

Stellar in every way. A great doctor with awesome manner and an expert in his field.

Because of his stirling reputation I waited 5 months to see him and was not disappointed. He is a wonderful human being and a better Doctor. If you're in need of a Neurologist, simply put, you cannot do better. read more

An amazing doctor!!! I needed emergency treatment and an operation that followed. There are no words to describe his professionalism, bed manner and skills. His office is well staffed and they follow thru on everything. He is now my goto Dr. period for any issues in urology. read more

Dr. Faulkner is simply the BEST. Busy all the time, so it's not easy getting an appointment quickly, but well worth the wait. I started seeing him several years ago and am seeing him currently. Friendly bedside manner as well! read more
