I was referred to Dr. Tobis and couldn't be happier that I went to him for my surgery. There wasn't any post operative concerns and I'm in the process of healing. I would recommend Dr. Tobis to anyone that would need a Urologist for prostate cancer treatment.

I'm a nurse myself and had to have my own surgical procedure (renal cyst) done at Cottage Hospital by Dr Braverman this past week. Admittedly, even though I have knowledge and some years of experience in medical myself, I was still relatively concerned and had some pre-procedure questions. Dr. Braverman could not have been more reassuring and kind, as he thoroughly and patiently answered my questions. The procedure itself was skillfully performed and without pain. God bless you, Doctor, and your staff for really helping to reassure your patients and put yourself in their shoes. It meant the world to me. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Braverman and would not hesitate to have future interventional radiology procedures done by him. He is top tier!

When I was told I needed to have a bone marrow biopsy I was extremely unhappy ( who would'nt be)…read more.partly because the symptoms I was showing and what they were searching for pretty much guaranteed it would just be the first of many I'd have to undergo. I'm 71 years old and I'd been thru the whole throat cancer treatment 12 yrs before. I did not want anymore painful procedures so I requested a general anesthesia for the BMB. Dr. Braverman came in and described the procedure to me and I was surprised to learn I was only to be given a sedative . I nearly canceled the biopsy right there til I got the G.A. I asked for. The good doctor patiently explained G.a.'s were usually done for more serious surgeries, but that if I wanted to reschedule the biopsy I would be able to get the G.A. At that point I agreed to proceed with just the sedation, in case the test might needed sooner rather than later. as I was being rolled in surgery Dr. Braverman told me ," I know this is not what what you asked for but I'll make sure you wo'nt feel any discomfort. He was true to his word. One minute I was laying face down in one room and the next I awoke in another. Also the aches that I felt after the locals wore off were so manageable that I needed only one tylenol the next day. no bleeding, no bruising, no ice packs etc. needed. I am so grateful to you dr., you dispelled so much fear for me. I have'nt seen the test results yet but if treatment involves any more B.M.B's I hope I'll have someone as capable, understanding and comforting as the good Dr. Braverman-M. Lozano

And then he orders thorough testing to get answers! (Why isn't this an obvious protocol with ALL doctors?) For many, many years, I was gaslighted by a number of doctors. It's such a profound relief to know I've been heard and understood, and not dismissed as being quasi-hysterical. Already, my health has improved, and will continue to improve. I will soon meet with Dr. Saunders again to go over the very latest tests, and begin treating the problem. I see in my online chart that there are abnormalities with the most recent test. I am 82 years old, and I expect to feel much younger and stronger going forward. My stress level has dropped significantly since I began my healing journey with Dr. Saunders.

Dr. James Zmolek replaced my right hip on April 3, 2024. As I recovered I noticed that my hip was…read moreunstable in that it would move out of place moving forward. This would consistently happen when I popped up surfing, in many yoga positions and in the follow through in my golf swing. I just had revision surgery on my right hip on April 14, 2026. At my Post Op meeting with my orthopedic surgeon here in Honolulu, the doctor explained that the cup in my right hip was so anteverted that it was a miracle my right hip had not completely dislocated at some point. But there is more. The stem of the hip was rubbing on the outer rim of the cup releasing metal flakes into the surrounding tissue. This is called Metallosis and it makes the tissue necrotic. In an advanced state, Metallosis is toxic and it would have forced my hand in having my hip replaced. How is it possible that I needed a revision hip surgery only two years after James Zmolek replaced it the first time? I am pursuing this with a Patient Advocate and will report James Zmolek to Sansum Clinic / Sutter Health in Santa Barbara as well as the medical board. Scott Wilson Honolulu, HI May 5, 2026
