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.

Outstanding urologist
I have now experienced two kidney stones that required surgery. Dr Yalkut has performed both of those. I also have a very low tolerance to pain and a high tolerance to medication. There are only a couple doctors that believe me when I say that outside my primary care, Dr. yalkut is one of those. He researched the best treatment and discussed all options with me, then let me decide. His bid side manner is outstanding as well as his safety and care for his patients. I wouldn’t recommend any other urologist than Dr. Yalkut!

Wonderful
Dr Yalkut has always been friendly, caring , and answers all my questions. He works quietly and fast. He kept me away from surgery. It may not sound professional, but he’s sweet person. His staff has always been caring as well.

I have been seeing Dr. Denis Yalkut for about three years. I trust him implicitly! He is a concerned and compassionate young man, dedicated to his profession and to his patients. I can not imagine going elsewhere to be treated for BPH. His demeanor is professional and courteous. I highly recommend Dr. Yalkut.

I've read all the reviews and can't believe how anyone can report negative on Doctor Yalkut. From day one he's been professional, trustworthy, and helpful. Dr.Yalkut thoroughly explains everything in terms you can understand. I highly recommend him. I can attest he saved my life!

I know for a 100% fact that all of the positive reviews of this Doctor are fake. He pays people to write positive reviews for him. Worst doctor ever.

Worst doctor on earth. Worst staff of all time. Wouldn't give us our records for more than two years. Literally had to stand in the office and demand them. He's now charging us for made up charges from late 2017, and it's 2020. When asked for supporting documents on the charges, they provided with an excel spreadsheet of inaccurate numbers with no explanation whatsoever of what service was provided. Now they've sent the bill to collections after we've disputed the charges with them directly on several occasions.

Extremely positive experience with Dr. Yalkut. I was a new patient and my needs were not only quickly addressed but the care provided pre and post surgery was excellent. Communication has been effortless with him, his office staff, and hospital staff. I highly recommend Dr. Yalkut!

Since started seeing this Dr I have had nothing but problems. he performed non emergency surgery while knowing I had an infection and a week later I had to be sent to Lexington icu they almost had to remove my left kidney, I became septic, had to have a blood transfusion and almost died. Two months later I still don't feel well. His staff is incompetent, rude, unprofessional and unorganized

I'm going to be honest ... NoT everything is perfect but he's worth going to.He saved my life, found something everyone else missed the whole 22 years I had been alive. He got me into surgery asap and did an amazing job, not only with me makeing sure everything was ok before I went in but also talking to my family telling them how it went right after he was done. I will continue to go to him and recommend him to everyone get to know him he's funny and very smart ... It's worth the wait

Dr. Yalkut was my urologist for over one decade. I don't think he ever looked me in the eye once. His staff is terribly rude, inconsiderate, and not the least bit helpful. Dr. Yalkut treated me for UTIs the entire time I saw him. I took antibiotic after antibiotic with no relief. Yesterday, I saw a new urologist and it appears as though UTIs were never my issue. Despite all of the tests Dr. Yalkut performed, and billed me for, he could not figure out my real problem, which is IC.

Unless you are facing death and no other urologist will see you, stay away from this office. They are rude, lazy and only interested sending you a bill.
