accompanied my 91 year old dad with concerns of getting up to go to the bathroom few times a night on meds as well tech did ultra sound of bladder looks good so that's great Dr suggested friendly foods for interstitial cistitis ok great I guess not much of an exam Dr sat in chair across from patient took notes that's it! When leaving my dad stuck out his hand to shake Drs hand being courteous as that generation is even Dr is older as well but nope Dr said not since Covid I don't do that something to that effect !! Just kind of rude there is such a thing as soap and water !!! Just so tired of these encounters with Dr whose bedside manner a little to be desired ugh read more

"Dr. P.", as he refers to himself, has been treating me for several years after an acute UTI that landed me in the hospital for 5 days. He is one of the most caring doctors I have dealt with in my 72 years. I have not had a recurrence under his care and most importantly I always feel heard in his presence and also by his staff. I highly recommend him. read more

best doctor I have ever been to. Been seeing him for 7 years and go for cystoscopy every month and he keeps my bladder in check. front office has been very good also. read more

I had been referred to Dr. P this last month. I was able to get my initial consultation appointment within a few days of my referral,then I had my procedure 2 weeks of that appointment. I would recommend the Dr. he is very knowledgeable and his staff is sweet. I am trying to stop drinking soda but love the bubbles one his staff members told me about a new sparkling water to help me get my bubbles but no soda. Hopefully I don't need to see him again but if I do I know it's going to be a seamless visit read more

The WORST doctor I have ever been to! His high and mighty personality "I am the professor of Urology for Graybill". I told his "nurse" why I was there and apparently he didn't even look at her notes. He diagnosed me without even an exam! Such BS!! His office staff had no compassion for an older man who was blind and the nursing home he lives at changed his appointment without letting him know and so technically he missed the appointment. "Sir we can't fit you in". My husband stated "really you are not going to fit him in?" Answer was "No". This doctor needs to retire! It's obvious he doesn't care about his patients!

Dr. Polishuk is a very caring doctor, he was there for us when I had a cancer diagnosis and needed recommendations for treatment. Now years later I go for followup visits and the staff are very professional and efficient. Highly recommended! read more

I tried to schedule an appointment as a self pay cash patient but the receptionist said no. She said she had the doctor look over his chart and over the phone he said no go somewhere else? My dad needs urgent care he was coming directly from the hospital which dr paul has access to and he made his diagnosis over paper work. The receptionist was no help at all in fact very rude. I can only imagine if I was even offer an appointment how the visit would have been. No heart. read more

I would recommend against this physician. As mentioned earlier, he seems to walk away from any patient difficulties. Would not cooperate with my primary care doctor's recommendations for a change in treatment because of my persistent pain, saying I should just endure for several months and improvement would occur by itself, and that any other treatment would not be in his area of specialization. And did not even inform me of that until he was repeatedly contacted. His diagnosis was wrong and fortunately I have had considerable relief. My impression in my meetings with him was that he preferred chatting, to practicing medicine. read more

Dr Polishuk is amazing. In 2015 he was the Dr on call and that was a blessing because he saved my life. Have had ongoing kidney issues and I would not see anybody else. His concern for my well being is unlike what I have experience from other physicians. His office staff is so kind and friendly. Sometimes there may be a wait to see him, but I know it's because they are giving the same great care to all the patients that come in. I feel so blessed and thankful for Dr Polishuk and will happily tell others about him and his staff! read more

the wait times are severe, even rude. the staff are nice and trying to do well. The doc however could give two hoots to help renew a Rx, seriously, its been three weeks and five phone calls. Also, its a bore to hear again about how he could retire as he is so well off. he also change a plan for me after arriving at graybill and now i am left wondering why all those tests were run before. do i need them or not? i'm moving on. he's not worth the aggravation and can easily be replaced. read more

Doctor Polishuk is a good doctor, unfortunately I cannot say the same for his front office staff. They are unprofessional, lie to patients even if the patient is a100% positive that the information provided is incorrect. It took 28 days and several phone calls (many nasty ones) to have a payment posted toward a Medi-Cal share of cost when it takes other service providers about 60seconds. The kept telling me it thakes time to post. I see may doctors and like I said it takes 60 seconds to post a payment. I Asked them to send me a release for medical records, I never received it. I was forced to find another doctor read more

The Best Urologist around. Did not make me wait long. Was very friendly. Listened to my problems. Started a program to help my condition. The office was nice too! Would Recommend! read more

Doctor Polishuk has a great bedside manner, is conscientious and answers all your questions without being condescending. I switch to Dr. Polishuk following a failed surgical procedure from another doctor at Genesis Urology. He provided an accurate diagnosis and got me on a path to recovery. Some of the staff can be rude and unprofessional but a couple of the nurses and receptionists are exceptional. Better staff and I would have given a 5 star ratting. read more

I don't know how he is at his practice so I won't bad mouth him in that regard - because I never got to see him. I took off work today and drove all the way from Marietta to Escondido and when I got up to the desk, he came to the desk and said, he had another patent he needed to work on and that I'll need to re-schedule. He then said the apportionment was for 11:15, but I was told over the phone by Graybill that it was 11:30 which I entered into my phone calendar as soon as the appointment was set. I arrived at the parking lot at 11:10, but got into the actual office at 11:20 because it was difficult finding the place the first time from a one-way street. But I was still early by 10 mins according to the time I was given. The girl at the desk was very nice and felt bad as she tried to reschedule the appointment. But I was so upset because I've had blood in my urine for a few years and needed to get looked at. I just walked out and said I'm going somewhere else. He has no class, I waited month to see him, took off work and missed a day of pay, and he rejected my apportionment when I have a notice on paper with an appointment time of 11:30AM, I arrived at 11:20. If he had said, "I'm sorry I have an emergency I can't see you today", I would understand, but he made the comment that I was late as though he was punishing me when I was 10 mins early. And you people give this guy a good rating? They never even called to apologize. I have a new Urologist. By the way, this is not the first time Graybill has messed up times. I always put my times in my phone calendar immediately to avoid being late. What an A hole. read more

He was nice enough on our initial visits handling our 94 year old Father who needed a SP Catheter and Foley put in. Subsequently his delivery failed. The last issue that occurred is a huge amount of pain my Father began experiencing with heavy leaking from his insertion. We called several times to try to get him in to see the Dr to help fix the problem. No help AT ALL. They were unwilling to get us in. We were told to just give our Father more pain pills and wait until our scheduled appointment which is 2 weeks away. This morning, the tube broke away and urine came out of my Father's penis along with more pain. We called the Dr several times and still after 3 hrs they have not returned our calls. We did get a return call and was relieved that they gave us an OK to use the Home Health Dr. We had the assisted living facility which our Dad lives at to call in their RN. She found he needed a larger size catheter and put one in. I'm disappointed that Dr. Polishuk was not more helpful. I guess this is a new trend in medicine. read more
