    I recently visited this clinic to start testosterone replacement therapy using medication, as I…read morewasn't quite ready to begin injections, which my primary care doctor had initially recommended. Unfortunately, the appointment didn't start well--the doctor arrived almost an hour late, which set a negative tone. When he finally saw me, the consultation felt rushed, as if he was hurrying to catch up with other patients he'd kept waiting. While he was open to discussing treatment for my low testosterone, I asked for additional blood work to ensure a thorough evaluation. I also mentioned a specific medication I was interested in, commonly used for treating central hypogonadism. They drew my blood, and the nurse informed me that the results would take about a week. However, after a week passed without any follow-up, I had to call the office myself. I found out that the results were already in, but no one had reached out to inform me. During the follow-up, the doctor explained that my testosterone levels were technically within the normal range. However, I'm in the 1st percentile for my age, meaning 99% of men my age have higher levels. My levels were just barely above the threshold considered "normal" and didn't even meet the American Urological Association's (AUA) recommended post-treatment range for testosterone, which is 450-600 ng/dL. The AUA advises evaluating symptoms, not just numbers, and suggests aiming for the higher end of the normal range for treatment. My results fell below this threshold, which was frustrating. Why is it okay to boost someone's testosterone to this range, yet if someone's baseline is below it, they're still considered "normal," and on top of that, I had three prior tests showing below-normal levels? Despite my medical history and multiple previous lab results showing low testosterone, the doctor dismissed my symptoms--no libido, low motivation, and lack of energy. I was very clear that I've experienced these symptoms for over a decade. I explained that three out of four tests from the same lab showed below-normal levels and that my medical conditions likely contribute to my low testosterone. However, he based his decision solely on the most recent test and disregarded my history and symptoms. I've decided to find a provider who will take a more comprehensive look at my health. I hope this clinic can improve its communication and approach to patient care, especially for those who need specialized treatment.

    Referred to Dr. Johnson at the Stonecrest Urology Associates office for hernia repair…read more On the initial appt., I was checked in and saw the doctor in a timely fashion. While in the waiting room, the staff was asking some intimate questions of patients checking in with no regard for privacy. Doctor Johnson was competent and prepared having already reviewed ultrasound and bloodwork before joining me in the exam room. We agreed that surgery was appropriate. There was a dedicated "scheduler/coordinator" who scheduled the operation at the downtown Nashville Urology Associates Surgical center. I showed up at the appointed time at the downtown Nashville surgery center -- and was informed that the surgery had been cancelled because of some approval not received. It is fine that there was an issue with approvals -- that happens. Cancelling the surgery WITHOUT letting me know -- is not OK. The people at the desk said it was not their fault. It was the fault of the doctor's office. Always good to know that people are willing to be accountable and responsible. So no surgery.. but at least I could now have my Morning coffee. And the coffee station in the waiting room was filthy and sticky. If the stuff you can readily see is filthy and dirty maybe it's just as well that I did not get the surgery there. I have switched providers.

    I've been a patient here for a few years, and at first everything was great. I used to see Dr…read more Scarpero at the Nashville location and never had any issues getting an appointment with her. Since she retired, though, it's been really frustrating. Now I can only get appointments with a physician assistant. I recently tried to move my Friday appointment in May to something sooner, but no one answered the phone and my voicemail wasn't returned. I called again today, left another message, and finally got a callback. When I asked to see a doctor instead of the PA, I was told I have to see the PA first before I can even get scheduled with a doctor. I was also told the PA is only in the office Monday through Wednesday. Then when I asked how I somehow have a Friday appointment in May, I found out it's actually at the Franklin office--which no one mentioned when it was booked. On top of that, the online scheduling tool only shows PAs, not doctors, and the one I'm scheduled with doesn't even publish her schedule online in the booking tool. At this point, I'll be finding a different urologist. I just want to be able to schedule with a doctor without jumping through hoops or wasting extra time and money.

    I was hopeful by how professional they look on their website that they would act professionally. My…read moremeeting with the provider was very quick, but that's not the thing I have the biggest issue with. I had to follow up with them regarding the composition of my kidney stone. I was under the impression they were gonna call and let me know. Not only that, but they were supposed to send for a 24 hour collection for me and when I called to follow up about it since I hadn't received the container, they referred me to call the LabCorp place to check on the status. When I called LabCorp, they said they didn't even have the referral or the order sent to them. Now I have to follow back up with Female Urology a third time when they didn't do their job in the first place. I have come to the conclusion that based on conversations, the staff just want to get off the phone with you. Hardly a way to run a business.

    Highly Recommended by our family fertility doctor! I can affirm! Dr. Calvert & both his nurses were…read moreamazing. Checking in was easy and the clerks were polite and prompt. They were patient with my paperwork as the Veterans Administration isn't the easiest to work with. While in the patient room he encouraged that my wife listen in and ask question regarding IVF. He traversed our questions & worries all while being funny. Honestly, with issues that one may bring them to see a Urologist are often uncomfortable conversations, everyone made it "normal" that I was there in my young age for IVF. Thank Urology Associates for making it a pleasant visit. Dr. Calvert, your 2 nurses are well trained, professional and just NICE! It's hard to find that these days. I will continue to go through the process and update this thread every step of the way! Finding the location (I'm from East TN) was extremely easy and conveniently located next to a hotel, giant park and lots of restaurants; in case you bring your family.

    Wtf just happened? Man I went to this place to get some things figured out, and holy crow was that…read moreone of the most stressful, and unpleasant medical experiences I've ever had. First of all, when you go in there's like five windows to go to and only two of them are open, but... only one is where you go to pay. I went to the wrong window uh oh! I was met with such angst and felt like I shot the pope or something because the staff was so pissed off at me for going to the wrong window. Then.... You have to fill out this form on an iPad and the questions were... I just don't know what to say other than why do they need to know what gender my parents identify as? Then after being shaken up by that and also in pain I go into see who I like to call... Dr. Dude (Dr. Paul Knoll). So now I'm upset, stressed out, overstimulated and sweating bullets from the pain in my pelvis and beyond. I was dumb founded by the amount of advertisements for Viagra, and ads for Dr. Dude's webinar thing or whatever. Then... Dr. Dude comes in. Right off the bat he starts in with "drop your pants buddy" jokes which did the opposite of what I guess he thought would make an already uncomfortable situation better, just made it even more uncomfortable. I had a whole list of things I wanted to cover, and Dr. Dude wouldn't let me talk, thus establishing his "Doctor" status. He seemed particularly interested in my erectile distinction, and I found myself fighting to try and go over the other symptoms on my list which Dr. Dude by god was not gonna listen to because... ya know... he's the doctor. After grabbing my junk and making a few more jokes before telling me to cough, he told me to pull my pants back up and prescribed me Viagra. I then had to wait another 20 minutes looking at Dr. Dudes face all over the wall, medical models of the male reproductive system and lest we not forget... VIAGRA posters. Finally another doctor came in and I was taken to their little pharmacy in the lobby, where two more angry receptionists were talking about how fat a previous patient was, they told me to wait for yet another doctor to get my Dr. Dude prescribed VIAGRA. After sitting in the lobby, again for another 20 minutes, I noticed a few of the same people that were there when I came in earlier were now asleep in the lobby. Finally I realized how goofy this whole thing was and I left to celebrate my birthday. So all that to say I'm 80 bucks broker, more bitter towards the healthcare system, and no answers to my problems. Im sorry, but getting a boner is the least of my worries right now. Stay away from this place. Dr.Dude (Dr. Paul Knoll) is nothing but a Viagra salesman with what I assume is a fat doctors paycheck with an overworked and underpaid staff that would rather be at home living their lives.

    In a city that runs on the power of its health care options, I'm trying to do my part to add to the…read morewealth of medical knowledge. While going to the doctor is no where near as fun as getting a cocktail or sitting down to a lobster dinner, it's a fact of life. In Nashville, it's the strong arm of our economy. I see this review as providing a public good to the community at large, body of Yelp content and, specifically, to men in Middle Tennessee. You're welcome. Dr. Chang is not a doctor you ever want to see but if you need to see this sort of doctor, he's the only one you want. Does that make sense? Read it over and see if it does. I'm pretty sure it does but I'll wait. It does? Okay. Cool. No one wants to go to the urologist. But, bodies age and parts do weird things. When they do, you want the best of the best making sure everything is okay. Dr. Chang is, both, very smart and extremely personable. These are very good qualities in a physician. His intellect is what you want when it comes to making diagnoses, discerning what's happening in a situation and having the expertise to handle things with as little muss and fuss as possible. His people skills are evidenced in a mix of humor and straight-forwardness. He knows no one wants to see the urologist so he does what he can to relate to you as an individual who just might be a wee* bit freaked out. From the examination room to the procedure, Dr. Chang had a steady hand, rock solid staff, relaxing, engaging tone, all the information you'd want/need, and the prowess to make an awkward/frightening experience into one you can get through. I did as much research as I could before heading to the doctor. Everything I read about Dr. Chang put me at ease. Knowing that he's friends with my GP (who is super awesome!) put me at ease. In case you're looking for a doctor and don't know where to turn, I leave this review to let you know to look for Dr. Chang. When you need a urologist, you're going to want the best. He's the best. *Yes, I heard it.
