Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

SAVED MY LIFE
I had a prostate issue for way too long trusting my treatment to a P.A. at NGPG. I was upset and done with this guy having no change in my health with his regiment of treatment given to me by this incompetent man. Dr Woo immediately changed my antibiotic and the duration of the treatment which cured 2 years of pain and mistreatment. I had been given the WRONG antibiotic and for not for a long enough duration to get at the infection in my prostate by this PA. Furthermore, once I got under his guidance after the treatment period, he was watching my prostate score very closely (Thank goodness!) The PSA score bumped-up quite a bit so he performed a biopsy. This biopsy was positive for cancer, but at a quite minimal amount. After some time, it jumped again (Leaped to 10.24), and it was time to get the prostate out or deal with cancer. I had the prostatectomy surgery and the resulting PSA a month after my surgery was "undetectable." Thank you, Dr Woo, you saved my life!

Terrible!
He didn’t talk to me. He had the PA talk to me about the preop, surgery and postop care. I did not see him after the surgery. The surgery was a failure, but instead of explaining to me what went wrong, he sent the PA to tell me that he needed to operate again.

THE BEST UROLOGIST!
Dr. Woo and his staff are amazing!! I have been a Patient of Dr. Woo’s for now 15 years. Dr. Woo in my opinion is the best Urologist. I have IC and have had treatment at other Urologists. Hands down he has kept my IC under control and with the outpatient surgical procedures he has performed with excellency I benefit with being able to live life without having to deal with the issues that go along with IC. Dr. Woo you are the best buddy! God bless you and your family and practice!! Karen C

Prostate Cancer Removal. If I could give Dr. Woo and His Entire Staff a rating of 10 Stars, I would. First off, Dr Woo provided an appt within one week of being sent to him by my Urologist. Dr. Woo referred me for several other test and set out a Plan of Care/treatment and after laying out options, we as a family and team, decided to remove the cancerous prostate. Dr. Woo Provided the Best Robotic Surgery I could have expected, and was referred to Northeast Georgia Medical Center for inpatient care/surgical/Anesthesia Referral, as well as Gainesville Imaging for further test. Dr. Woo and His Entire Office, PreOp and Surgical Team Staff/ Post Op Staff worked very well together. Extremely smooth team of Professionals. I will be following up with Dr. Woo for many years to come.

Dr. Woo, has been my doctor for the past year. He is a very patient, caring, understanding, professional, respectful, he sits down to listens to your concerns, explains anything you don’t understand, he’s always available and he’s never rushed me out of the office and he’s always punctual and doesn’t keep you waiting. He really values his patience and you leave his office feeling valued.

Would not recommend to anyone. Been trying to get kidney stones removed for the past 5 months; keep getting recurring UTI's (caused from kidney stones) and have to schedule lithotrispsy with in being on the antibiotics 10 days to within 1 week of being off antibiotics. They can never make that happen. After finally getting a 2 month break from infection; they scheduled me (it took the whole 2 months to get in. Went in that morning, had to prepay, got iv and versed; then was told that machine was broke; would call me the next day to reschedule. It has been 2 days and still no phone call. I called office and requested credit back to FSA card and was told could not do that. They would have to issue refund check and it could take weeks. Since being referred to this practice (6 months ago); I have been hospitalized 3 times (each time for 4-5 days). Disappointed in Dr. & staff @ outpatient surgery center; as they do not follow up or try to work with patients.

Dr. Woo is working with me through prostate cancer, and I have found him to be an absolutely excellent physician and surgeon. He is straightforward in his manner, which suits me perfectly, and took the time I needed to discuss the options open to me. From the first high PSA, through biopsy and treatment plans, I’ve been impressed with him. In the upcoming surgery, I trust him.

Dr. Woo is fabulous! He took me same day from the emergency room for an initial consultation and scheduled me next day for a Lithotripsy procedure. I had a huge kidney stone and was in agony. He was quick, professional, and thoroughly explained every step. I had a second Lithotripsy along with several followup visits to get the remaining bits and each of those visits that were equally quick, professional and thorough. I would highly recommend him if you have any Urology issues. :)
