The Urology Group

No relief from antibiotics and a negative CAT scan and pain persists. Took persistent calling to get results from CAT screen which took more than 2 weeks to get a return phone call.

Horrible....from start to finish. I had a kidney stone that the doctor was "going to get" so I went under anesthesia TO HAVE IT REMOVED. The next thing I know I am barely breathing, pulse is going down to dangerous level, heart rate, BP, BASICALLY MY VITALS are plummeting. Next thing I know I'm being transported to Christ Hospital ER in an ambulance . Even in the ambulance the medic kept saying to breathe and at one pint I guess my vitals were heading south again so he requested lights and siren to speed me to the ER. That was a disaster. My family literally thought I was going to pass away. I think the anesthesiologist should have to pay all the Christ hospital bills and this should be investigated. I think I was given way too much anesthesia. I spent hours in the ER and got billed mightily. The whole next week I had a stint in after the procedure. It was bloody and painful. No one prepared me for the pain I had and no one told me if it was normal. I called their office and no one really helped answer my questions. The stint had to be in place for one week. I refused to go under again for the removal of the stint so the doc said it was no problem to do it....one, two, three! NOT, he had to make a couple of attempts to remove the stint and that night once again, I was in pain and bleeding. My advise is do not go to this group, only go to a urology practice that does their procedures in a hospital. I could have died at their surgical center...and my daughter said she felt like because it was a Friday LATE AFTERNOON, they just rushed me through, and almost lost me so they ushered me out to the ER...OUT OF THEIR HANDS. I'm sorry to report this. I don't like doing it except I have heard other horror stories from patients and I don't want this to happen to anyone else. And I only scratched the surface on the mishaps...but I think you can read between the lines.

fairly well however I wasn't given any other options in my treatment.

He spent less than five minutes with me and did not talk about the problem I was having at all.  He did not do further tests to diagnose my problem based on the symptoms.  The following day when the symptoms returned I sought care from another doctor who did the tests and diagnosed my issue and treated it successfully.

Dr Pliskin found and removed a tumor in my bladder plus provided me with preventive treatment for re-ocurrances. He was most reassuring and thorough in his explanation of the procedures. He provided excellent care as well as follow up. I have seen him for  follow up care and his treatment continues to be successful. 
I would most certainly recommend Dr. Pliskin for his professionalism and his expertise.

Dr Delworth was patient with all my questions and explained them clearly.

I have been a patient of his for about eight years. He is very personable and attentive. He will spend the time so speak with you and discuss options. Dr. Haaff has a great bedside manner. He is a nice, professional man. All of my experiences with him have been great.

Dr was very thorough and gave clear answers to questions that I asked.

I passed the stone ( in Vietnam)!
Dr. Delworth was very thorough, always pleasant, and thought highly of by many hospital nurses that dealt with him (which is how I heard about him, also).
Dr. Delworth saw some cysts on other organs and referred me to the appropriate drs. and he followed up with me on my kidneys.
He is very busy so getting a routine appt. is sometimes slower.
The girls in the scheduling, billing were very kind, trying to accommodate my schedule and insurance.
I have referred Dr. Delworth and his practice group (The urology Group?) to friends and family.

Dr Krick was the ultimate professional in examining my test results and telling me the reasons I should immediately schedule surgery to remove the mass and take biopsies.  I had a huge mass that indeed was cancerous and imbedded very deep.  Dr Krick performed the delicate surgery that saved my bladder from being removed, and possibly my life as well.  I return for surgical and nonsurgical checkups twice a year, and 4 years after my initial surgery, I remain cancer-free.  He is my urologist for life now.  He is the perfect blend of skill, compassion and professionalism.
