*HORRIBLE,HORRIBLE - *Spoke to front staff, unable to do their job. We were just waiting on a referral to be sent over, and they were incapable to ask for it themselves, KNOWING HOW URGENT THE SITUATION WAS. sAID IT WOULD TAKE 3 DAYS TO RECEIVE IT. Spoke to the Physician after and said he stated he was not my daughters savior. I was literally stunned by his comment and unprofessional tone. read more

Excellent care and service - After my surgury - the follow up visits were prompt and caring - he has a busy patient list but treats each patient with open ended time.

If you can request Dr Misra -- please try - he has a bust cleint list - but will take great care of your needs -- Vince read more

My Primary Care Physician sent a referred me to Dr. Misra for a second opinion. I received a call back from his office staff stating Dr. Misra would not see me and was referring me back to my Primary Care Physician. With no explanation I was then politely told to have a very wonderful day. read more

HE IS A NICE AND GOOD DR.He knows his business well.I decided on a woman doctor since I am a woman.It just makes me more comfortable.I made a review but it was a mistake.How can I take that one off.It was for another doctor.Sorry. read more

Hello, I am writing this review on 7/1/19. I have since had to return to Dr. Misra's office and simply once again am thankful for him and his staff. While experiencing pain in my abdomen he took the time to call my other Dr. to advise him of the pain and ensure between the two Dr.'s that one of them would perform the scan required to identify why. The mere fact he took the time to call my oncologist to ensure the right tests were performed gave me a level of comfort and thankfulness. Dee whom his is office manager is simply one of the sweetest most helpful people I've come across during my Dr. experiences. I am thankful for both Dee and Dr. Misra. Best always, B read more

Round 2, ding-ding!! And this time a MUCH better experience. Now, we still had to wait. Our appointment was at 2 (right after their lunch break), we were taken into the room within about 10 minutes of checking it. Fast forward to 2:30 and the nurse comes in to tell us that the doctor isn't there yet, he's over at the hospital getting lunch. Ummmm...isn't this why you're closed from 12-2? In order to get lunch. Anyhow, the doctor finally arrived at 2:50. Luckily we were the first patients to be seen, I feel sorry for everyone else who came in after us. So it appears that this would be a norm for this office, when you go just expect that you will NOT be seen at your scheduled time, but rather anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours after that time. On the positive and thus a higher star rating this go around- the doctor had MUCH better bedside manners. He didn't seemed rushed and actually sat down and talked to us. The meds prescribed prior were no longer working and so instead of just prescribing something less effective he made several non-drug suggestions including exercises and dietary changes that may help instead. BONUS POINT!! I'm all for a)homeopathic options and b)not wasting money on something that doesn't work. (Plus I just hate big pharma, but I digress). I really appreciated his candor and integrity. He also told us to "feel free" to email him with any questions or concerns, although we are now technically no longer an active patient. Another bonus point for being available! And he even stayed a few minutes after the official business was done to chat about non-medical stuff and even cracked a few jokes. Yet another bonus point! So all-in-all this was a vastly different and much better experience than the first time. The office gals as always are super nice, sweet and cheerful. They make the waiting almost worth it....almost. I still hate the long wait though, hence the 4-stars. read more

See all

BEWARE!! Filed a grievance with my insurance co and state and local agencies ! OF COURSE They take his word for before me, just a layman. And for proof he is a cold, crass, uncaring doc...in his response He HAD to have read somone elses info had my diagnoses COMPLETELY WRONG. I had a 3cm Kidney stone NOT a gallbladder infection. Plus he was EXTREMELY uncooperative with AN ABSOLUTELY incredible and kind ER doc. So unless you want a doctor make you cry SERVERAL times during one of the HARDEST, MOST PAINFUL Experiences to go through BEWARE OF THIS GUY!!!!!! read more

My husband went to the ER and we waited for about 6 hours when Dr. Misra suddenly showed up. We weren't getting straight answers until he showed up and took charge. Turned out my husband had sepsis and one of his kidneys was failing due to a kidney stone obstruction. Dr. Misra made some calls and got another doctor from radiology to operate on my husband that night because he said we couldn't wait till the morning. My husband ended up getting hospitalized for 8 days. Dr. Misra came to check on him often and answered all our questions. He even came on Saturday and Sunday. I don't understand the bad reviews because Dr. Misra took care of my husband and went above and beyond. He even shifted his schedule to operate on my husband. When my husband was hospitalized again for another problem, Dr. Misra came to see my husband again, even on a Sunday night. He may talk fast sometimes but we like his straight forward and honest approach. We really appreciate everything he has done. If he hadn't been there at the ER, I don't know what would have happened. read more

I have massive, massive, massive medical anxiety. Dr. Misra welcomed me later the same day I called. He did an examination and explained the exact details, complete with chart. He answered all my questions. We even chatted a little bit about our families. I was overwhelmed with safety and relief. He's such a good guy. Yes, I did have a long wait, but that's not unusual with doctors, and it's especially not unusual with doctors who have patients in the hospital. THANK YOU DR. MISRA! read more

This dr almost killed me! I was referred to him because I had kidney stones in both kidneys too big to pass. This all started October 2020. He tried to break the stones down by pounding my back with a laser. All that did was bruise my kidney and cause internal bleeding. Next a few months later he puts a stint. He leaves it in for about 2 weeks. A few months later.. he tried the laser again. Didn't work. May 2021 he puts a stint and tells me he's leaving it in for over a month! Two weeks after him putting the stint I felt dizzy, couldn't walk and had a fever 102. I went to ER and he took the stint out! Because he left in so long I got sepsis. I was told that my kidney was filled with pus and severely infected! Fast forward and I stop seeing him! Sepsis is deadly and I thank God I went to ER! I was on heavy antibiotics and had a IV when I came home to keep pumping the antibiotics. I had a nurse come to my home every day! I remember the nurse looking at my son and saying "Your mom is very sick!" Today... I still have stones and I'm in no pain. If I would've stayed with this dr I'm sure he would continue to beat my kidney and put dirty stints in me! No thanks!!!! He doesn't deserve even one star read more

Unbelievably horrific! After our experience today, the ONLY thing this doctor seems to have going for him is his incredibly wonderful office staff. I don't know if he has a bad attitude, doesn't care or honestly doesn't realize how badly he is coming across, but there is something very off-putting about this man and his demeanor. This was our first and last visit. My elderly mother's appointment was set for 11:15 p.m. By noon, we were still waiting. When he walked into the room, there was no apology for making us wait. In fact, his demeanor was cold and rude. There was no greeting at all. He spoke to us like we were idiots. Evidently, my mother's primary care physician wasn't very clear on why he had sent us there, even though we had a written referral with a possible diagnosis. Dr. Misra kept asking, "Why are you here?" He rudely said, "I can't determine what's wrong with your mom without test results." I had given his nurse the test results and she input them into a computer. I told him that within the first few minutes of him entering the room. Evidently he wasn't listening. I told him AGAIN. Sure enough...there were the results on his laptop that was sitting right in front of him. He seemed upset and irritated the entire visit. I thought I had made him upset and even asked him if I had offended him. He said, "no." He decided to do a sonogram on of my mom's bladder while she was sitting in her wheelchair. He told me to pull down her pants. I did so. He then swung the door to the exam room wide open so anyone walking by could see my mom's private parts in all her glory. I don't think he even realized it because he truly seemed clueless. I told him several times (and it was on the form I filled out) that my mom has Alzheimer's. More than 1/2 way into the visit he said, "Does your mom have dementia?" Hello, doctor? Are you really listening???? In the last few years, I have taken my parents to many doctors because I am their caregivers. I have had and still do have wonderful relationships with all of those doctors. This is the first time I have ever experienced such unprofessional and poor service from a doctor. Needless to say...we will never return! read more

I recently wrote a review about Dr. Misra because I really believe he is a good doctor and has a kind heart. Yelp removed this review because it was positive about Dr. Misra. One day I needed to call his office to confirm my appointment. I saw his telephone number on the yelp review site. After seeing what someone else wrote which was negative and so contrary to my experience with Dr. Misra, I decided to write my honest feelings. I still stand by my feelings and experience with Dr. Misra. It is an insult to me to have Yelp remove my review for whatever reasons. Once again, he may run behind schedule a lot but it is probably because he does not rush his patients. I always try to book at the beginning of the day or at the end of the day. Once again, Dr. Misra is experienced and a very good urologist. Please see my removed review for more information. read more

Apparently one has to give one star in order to post a review, otherwise I wouldn't even rate him that. This doctor, although competent, has the worst attitude we have ever encountered in a person in the medical profession. He did a procedure on my husband, and when he called to tell me what he found, he spoke rapidly and without pause. I had to interrupt him to ask any questions, which caused him to answer even faster, and with irritation. In the hospital, even before seeing a pathology report, he told us it was likely cancer. "It's very bad." he said. Every time he came in the room, my husband would ask him questions and he reacted with anger. Why is he so angry? This is not how you comfort a patient who is scared to death! When the diagnosis came and it was high-grade bladder cancer, he gruffly said, "It will have to come out. You'll have a bag outside your body. There is an operation where they put it inside, but it takes six hours and NOBODY WANTS TO DO IT." !!!! Can you imagine a surgeon saying that to a patient? "Nobody wants to do it." We have done just a little research and found that this operation is done regularly at Stanford, so that's where we will be going from now on. Never want to see that angry little man's face again. read more

My name is Brandon and I wanted to leave a honest review. This man is brilliant and cares about his patients! Please do not listen to the other reviewers. He communicated to me about my condition and my surgery from start to finish. I'm completely satisfied with what he has done. I'm was frustrated and nervous and he made me feel at ease. More surgeons should be like him. Thank you doctor! read more

The staff is extremely nice and professional. However, there was always a long wait to see the doctor. Usually an hour or so. And when he finally arrived to the room, he seemed very unprepared and like he was just analyzing my situation right then and there. He took forever with each patient due to this, hence the long wait. He prescribed several medications but none worked. It almost felt like he was just guessing. I never really felt he had a clue. I went to a different doctor (different speciality) and I mentioned my problem to her. She suggested an activity and that has helped my problem!... Odd that Dr. Misra never mentioned this. He may be a nice person but I didn't feel confident on his abilities as a doctor. read more

Absolute worst "Dr" ever seen in the history of mankind. Do not see this man! The short story: Hubby had kidney stone #4 last week, and we had another harrowing ER experience (to be covered roundly in a seperate review). We decided on the advice of the ER personnell to make a follow up appointment with a urologist to establish care for his ongoing kidney stone problem. Surely, we thought, it makes sense to be proactive about health, especially when you have a semi chronic condition. We called a Dr. from the list the ER had given us (mistake #1) and made an appointment for the following week (mistake #2) to see this "Dr". We arrived 15 minutes early to complete paperwork, for a 4:15 appointment. So, then, from 4:00 to 6:15 we sat in an incredibly tiny, dingy waiting room with a huge mass of people moving past us. Hubby started asking appointment times - they were seeing everyone scheduled before us, who were running late, AND everyone scheduled after us, including people who had appointments for 5:15, etc. We had our infant son who was hungry and it was all I could do to keep him calm, and I often had to leave to settle him and then return. Finally, the nurses left. Yes. The nurses (who were lovely) LEFT. The building was pretty much shut down. The lot was empty. I came back from comforting the baby and found at last that the "Dr" had deigned to see my husband. I entered the room, expecting to introduce myself, but was not acknowledged even by so much as a glance. My husband was attempting to explain to the "Dr" why we were there while he fooled around on a computer and on his notebook computer. He did not look at my husband or address either of us directly. He was incredibly, insanely rude. Finally, I piped up that, very reasonably we wanted to establish care so that, in the event that he had further trouble with this stone, he could call the urologist and NOT spend 6 hours in the ER (again, that's another story). The "Dr" then READ ALOUD the ER notes to us, which, astonishingly, said that he had been in "no distress" (he could barely walk and was white and trembling and sweating as he passed a kidney stone completely without medication). When we objected to this information as inaccurate, the "Dr" accused my husband of being negative about the medical profession and demanded to know why. My husband began to explain the numerous unfortunate medical experiences he has had the misfortune to endure, and the "Dr" (still without ever LOOKING at him) said "Oh here we go". Bottom line: He did not look at the tests from the ER which had been sent over beyond a glance. He did not attempt to treat my husband. He would not agree to take us as patients. He did not show a single shred of human compassion. He repeatedly asked my husband "why are you here" and "what do you expect me to do" and then, amazingly, told him he should not go to the ER for kidney stones, but just pass them at home by drinking water. Meantime, he had begun attending to personal business on his computer. At no point did he make eye contact. When my husband said "I am afraid" he simply continued typing. This man should be removed immediately from the medical profession. I will be filing a complaint with the medical board and with our insurance company and with any other entity I can think of. The sheer inhumanity of man was overwhelming. It was, in short, the worst "Dr" experience either of us has ever encountered. Save yourself the heartache! Here's a link to his profile, so you can make sure to avoid him: http://www.sutterhealth.org/dr-sourjya-p-misra.html read more

Avoid this urologist Dr. Sourjya Misra at Castro Valley whenever you can! Because this doctor will likely NOT respect your time or you as a patient! He was referred by a primary physician. The first time I took my in-law see this doctor per schedule but was told to go home - half hour after appointment time - because the doctor had "emergency" and had to re-schedule. The clerk apologized and scheduled appointment the following week. The second time we went there according to schedule, one hour after the scheduled appointment time, the clerk apologized again and told me "the doctor is late and still on his way to office". We start to get a little upset. But the doctor didn't seem mind about our feeling, and no sincere apology from him (for canceling appointment after we already there and being very late the second time). In stead, he complained about how he didn't have any our medical record from this referral and how dis-organized the referring primary physician organization was. We got stuck in-between two physicians pointing fingers. Very un-professional. We did not proceed further, left office and won't be back to this doctor anymore. read more

Couldn't even give him 1 star.....OH my gosh! I wish I would have read these reviews before I took my poor child to this savage! He was rude to her, asked me in front of her if "she was a normal child" like if she were special needs of some sort. His bedside manner was horrible! He was rotten to the core to my child who had problems with her bladder which is a sensitive issue all within itself but he made her feel horrible about herself. This visit was insulting, cold, he ruined my child's self esteem! My poor child............. read more

Dr. Misra is the absolute WORST Doctor I have ever dealt with in my entire life! Not only does this "Doctor" have the most arrogant, displaced and condescending attitude I've ever witnessed in the medical field, but he is also very negligent. My boyfriend had kidney stones broken down on a Monday. Not to mention, his appointment was scheduled for 11:30 and Dr. Misra and the surgery center kept trying to Change the time, even up to the time of surgery, and then the doctor was 2 1/2 hours late to surgery!!! By Friday my boyfriend was throwing up, couldn't urinate, and could not sleep. He was hospitalized twice over the weekend. Eden hospital called Dr. Misra several times to try and come up with a solution to his agonizing pain and Dr. Misra said he was fine and to send him home. I even called Dr. Misra to try and come up with some possible answers or solutions to what was happening with my boyfriend. During the phone call, after I identified myself and who I was associated with as a patient in his office, he continuously kept interrupting everything I was trying to say to him. He continuously argued with me about the nature of the problem and kept telling me "I don't know who you are" "what do you want me to do?" He told me to go to Eden and we would order a CT scan for my boyfriend, which after I called Eden and his office, he never did. Then to make matters worse, my boyfriend called him the next day to try and find out what to do for pain and lack of sleep, and excessive vomiting. Dr. Misra continuously interrupted and argued with him several times to where he was insulting and loud on the phone. My boyfriend got so frustrated that he went into the office and told Dr. Misra himself that he wanted a different doctor who took more pride and care in his patients. Dr. Misra said "we are done" and I hope for the future of your health and safety NO ONE EVER SEE DR. MISRA!!! He is the rudest, most negligent, disrespectful person I have ever seen in This field. He takes absolutely no care or pride in his work or his patients!!! The worst Doctor I have ever seen!!! First do no harm is NOT the case with this man!!! This man then read this review online and when my bf went back for a scheduled apt, Dr. Misra refused to see him unless he took down this poor review!! He refused to give my bf his medical record as requested unless he changed this review and wrote a better one saying it was just a misunderstanding. His exact words to my bf were "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." I refuse to take this review of this horrific blackmailing "doctor" down. He even went as far as to read this review during his appointment!!! And then refused treatment unless it was taken down. This man is horrible!!! He should have his license revoked!!! That is a legal breach of ethicality! I have filed a complaint with the medical board! read more

I can't even give this man 1 star (but I had to in order to post this) because he is that bad! The worst doctor I've ever had in my life! He has no bedside manner what so ever, and thinks it is ok to yell at his patients. You will wait in his office for hours after your scheduled appointment time just to find he won't even acknowledge your there. His patients are just trash to him while he sits on his golden thrown. Please do not ever go see this doctor , please, please please!!!!!!!! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Misra for 6 years. I find him to be caring, considerate and he has excellent bedside manners. Dr. Misra is very honest and truthful. When he gives advice or instructions he does so with the patients best interests in mind. I am greatful to have him as my doctor. Without reservation Dr. Misra is the MAN !!!!!! read more

I love Dr. Misra! He has been treating my 91 year old father for quite a while now and my dad loves him too. He's very attentive and explains everything in detail. He showed up at the emergency room once at night and has squeezed him in for appointments when needed. Yes, we've had to wait on one or two occasions for a bit, but not always and he is worth the wait. We both feel like he really cares. He always takes the time to call me and explain everything. I've never had a doctor spend as much time on the phone with me. That is so important with my dad being 91. He is so patient with him. I highly recommend Dr. Misra. read more

I have to hope that anyone who is looking for a great Urologist reads the positive post because Dr Misra is outstanding. And for Yelp to put my review under someone else's review instead of letting my review standout by itself is beyond me. I will be contacting Yelp to have them answer that question. I'm reposting my review and hope that it stands alone like the other idiotic complaints that hold no weight in my opinion. Dr Misra is a wonderful, caring Dr that had I not found him I don't know what I would do. After reading the negative reviews I find it hard to believe they are talking about my Dr. And the woman who says her child was scared for life makes me want to laugh because if she was traumatized by a visit to. Dr Misra than she has other issues not related to a urologist, really? He's not a pediatrician or a physiologist he's a a Urologist. And a damn great one! My story started on June 20, 2016, I woke up at 4 am in so much pain on my left side, after 2 hrs I had my husband take me to ER. I spent the entire day at Eden Hospital to find out I had a large kidney stone that was stuck in my ureter. They told me to go see another Dr which I did the next day who explained the procedure they would have to do and he would have it scheduled. The next evening I was in so much pain I called the other Dr and was told he was on vacation until July 5th I couldn't believe he didn't even mention in when I was in his office the day before. The next day I asked my family Dr to find me a urologist and she called back and gave me Dr Misra's number it was the end of the day and they got me in the next morning. When I walked in I was seen right away and Dr Misra looked at me and got on the phone with the ER Dr told him I was coming over he did not want me sitting in the waiting room to get me registered and ready for surgery. He was wonderful, caring and explained everything from start to finish. I don't know what I would have done without him. I stayed overnight and I left with a stint in so the next business day was a Tuesday, went into his office he removed the stint I felt 150% better he took his time and answered all of my questions he made me feel like I mattered. Then yesterday afternoon my phone rang and it was Dr Misra, just calling to see how I was feeling I was shocked because how many Dr's do that? None that I know of. Even after I was released from the hospital he didn't give me his service number he gave me his personal cell number. I can't say enough about Dr Misra and reading anything negative about him is hard to believe because I know when a Dr genuinely cares about his patients and that is why he is a Dr because he cares. It's so obvious and I would tell anyone who wants a great Dr to go see Dr Misra he is up there with the best of the best. Thank God for great Dr's they actually do exist. read more

I am a pharmacist. Here is my advice: Avoid Dr. Sourjya Misra at all cost!! My friend is a MediCal patient who recently developed kidney infection after radical hysterectomy. After staying 4 days in the hospital to treat the kidney infection, she was referred to Dr. Misra, an urologist. My friend was told by the receptionist that this doctor is completely booked. On top of that, he will be going on vacation on 6/20. She asked to see if she can be put on the waiting list and the answer is no. I am puzzled by this since I have not heard of any doctors who would not even make an effort to at least put someone on the waiting list. Today is only June 9! I personally spoke to this doctor on the phone today and found his attitude to be arrogant and indifferent. Being a healthcare professional myself, I know if my pharmacy closes at 6:30pm and a patient comes in at 6:30pm, I would not turn down an urgent care patient who is in dire need of medications. Thus I only give him one star. read more

Today was my first meeting with Dr.Misra..my previous Urologist recommended him because I was moving all my medical needs from San Ramon area to Eden Castro Valley. I read all the yelp comments and to be honest I could not believe my Dr. would send me to someone who warranted all this negative. I am the kind of person who makes my own judgment's, and after scheduling my appointment I was puzzled, because how could someone who allegedly was this "horrible" have such a kind staff? Well when I met him ALL my doubts vanished instantly. He introduced himself, and we both agreed we have never met before, (that showed me his humorist side), and he proceed to review all my medical information that was sent to him. I had my prostate removed back in 2004, and he reviewed all of my PSA test results and progress since then. He was more than attentive than I expected, and there was not a doubt in my mind that anything I wanted to discuss he was not willing to devote the time needed. After a short physical exam, he requested that a follow up ultra sound exam would be even more definitive and we scheduled it before I left. I am sorry for those who did not receive the same opinion of this Doctor that I did, but there is not one negative word I can say about his service and demeanor. I am 68 years old and have been to many doctors over the years. read more
