Unfortunately Yelp is seriously lacking is urologist reviews - perhaps a shortage of middle aged…read moremen around here? I'm not considered middle-aged but I was recently looking for a physician/surgeon to perform my vasectomy. Anyone who knows me is well aware that I want nothing to do with kids, but I've heard many stories about morally righteous doctors trying to dissuade people my age from getting snipped because "what if you change your mind?!?!?!" Yea, I was tired of hearing that, and fortunately for me, Dr. Morgentaler was completely understanding and respectful of my choice. In his words (I think it's an exact quote), "The only potential issue is that you could change your mind, but you're a big guy and can make your own decisions." For starters, this was extremely comforting, especially since I was considering letting him mess around with my junk. I found Dr. Morgentaler through some online research. He is an associate professor of urology at Harvard Medical School and runs a urology practice in Brookline Village (literally right next to the D line station) called Men's Health Boston. He is a well-known expert on sexual health. Since I didn't have any reviews to go on, I came to the consultation well prepared with questions. He and his Physician's Assistant (Gary Mousseau) addressed all of my concerns and explained everything. All of the staff members I met were very polite, knowledgeable and experienced. Except for the receptionists, the staff is all male. During the procedure Dr. Morgentaler demonstrated his knowledge and competence even while having a conversation with me the whole time. At a few points I felt a slight pressure, but each time he told me what I was about to feel and where I would feel it, and he was always exactly right. This showed he really knows his stuff, and it removed any nervousness I felt. After he finished he asked how painful it was on a scale of 1-10, and I said probably zero. The application of the anesthetic was not exactly pleasant, but it was over in about ten seconds. There was no other discomfort and no pain. The procedure was over in less than 15 minutes and I took the train home almost immediately. I felt some minor discomfort the first day after the procedure, but no pain, and I was back to normal activity the next day. Bottom line... Dr. Morgentaler is extremely knowledgeable, competent and genuinely a nice guy. I probably won't need an urologist anytime soon, but if I did, I would definitely go back. I would also recommend him to anyone requiring urological services.

Before writing this review, I looked at other reviews for the Milton and Framingham offices of…read moreGreater Boston Urology and noticed many people had experiences similar to mine. What I went through with Dr. Johnson was extremely distressing and left me feeling unheard, dismissed, and deeply stressed. From my very first appointment, something about Dr. Johnson's manner felt off to me. She came across as robotic, detached, and very hard to connect with. Still, I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt and assumed that even if we didn't "click," she might still be a competent doctor. Unfortunately, my later appointments proved otherwise. A few visits in, I requested a Pap smear even though I wasn't technically due for one. I have metastatic cancer, my tumor markers were rising, and I wanted to be proactive. I explained this on the phone, was put on hold, and then told I could be scheduled for a Pap smear. Shortly after I arrived at my appointment, they brought me in the back, and automatically took a urine sample and performed a bladder scan--even though I did not have any urinary issues. I thought it was odd but allowed it anyway. Dr. Johnson came in with her usual distant manner. She didn't explain the exam in much detail but performed what I believed was a Pap smear. Before she left, she told me I would have my results within 24 hours. Twenty-four hours passed, and nothing appeared--not even a pending test in the Quest system. Days went by, still nothing. So I called the office and let the receptionist know that it seems no test had ever been submitted. She said she would look into it. The next morning, I received an email from Quest saying my results were ready. To my shock, the tests were for serious sexually transmitted diseases--tests I never requested, never discussed, and never consented to. I have not been sexually active in over 15 years. I was extremely upset and immediately called the office. It was a Saturday so I asked the answering service to have Dr. Johnson paged. When I spoke to Dr. Johnson, she initially said she didn't remember me and had to review my chart. When she called back, I told her I wanted the tests removed from Quest since I had not authorized them. Instead of apologizing or explaining what happened, she told me the call "wasn't very therapeutic" and hung up on me. Since then, I have been stuck in an exhausting back-and-forth. The office manager originally told me removing the tests would be no problem. But when I called again to follow up, I discovered the office had blocked my number and stopped responding to portal messages entirely. All of this has caused an enormous amount of stress and anxiety during an already difficult time--I am dealing with cancer and autoimmune disease, and the last thing I needed was this. What makes it worse is that Quest informed me that a simple phone call from the doctor would allow the results to be retracted. Yet that has still not been done. Between the repeated bladder tests I've never needed and the unauthorized testing, I can only describe my experience as feeling like the office is disorganized at best, and at worst more focused on billing than on patient care. When I reached out to Elaine in the client compliance department at US Urology Partners--whose job is supposed to be patient advocacy--I was met with the same lack of concern. Overall, dealing with Dr. Johnson and the Greater Boston Urology office has been one of the most frustrating and distressing medical experiences I've ever had. Nothing about it has felt therapeutic, supportive, or respectful. I truly hope no one else has to go through what I've gone through -- and what I'm still dealing with. What makes it even more painful is feeling that Dr. Johnson's ego prevents her from seeing past herself. From my perspective, she showed no real care for me as her patient; it felt like she did whatever she wanted to do, no matter what I needed, asked for, or clearly expressed. In my opinion, her behavior toward me was deeply concerning, and it left me feeling that she was clearly not acting in my best interest.

I've been mishandled on the phone and given wrong information about side effects of medication and not given test results information in a timely manner. Worst of all, while I've been trying to deal with insurance issues with my coverage through the MA Health Connector, they have been less than helpful and expect me to pay for my appointment outright.

Please, do yourself a BIG favor and if you need a urologist, don't use Dr. Caesar. Thank you. I will be reporting my experience on Yelp too. I notice he has other negative reviews as well.

Greeted with compassion by Natalia at reception, thorough intake and vitals taken by the very kind Hafsa, and a legit full doctors appointment with Dr. Gutmanovich (Dr. G.) this past Saturday. Had a horrible cough and really did not want to go anywhere, especially to the always long wait at the local ER, so gave this new office, WITHIN the CVS in Swampscott a shot. At 3:30 I found them online and put my name in for an appointment at 3:45. Could not believe it. Got right in, and, I needed scripts. Dr G. ordered the scripts as we talked. I walked out of the office, walked over to the Pharmacy, and scripts were waiting for me!!! No traveling to a pharmacy elsewhere, or being sent to another office...this was fantastic. And the staff here, I found out, are THE staff here. So my chances of seeing Natalia, Hansa, and Dr. G. for my next ailment, knock on wood, are pretty great. They have a full facility here. They do x-rays, stitches, pretty much anything that doesn't call for extreme care. Highly recommend!!!
