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.

I can trust Dr. Fagleson to take care of my health

Dr. Fagleson was recommended by a colleague when I was having major issues with my previous urologist. I am much happier with Dr. Fagelson and feel that he really cares about his patients.

Several positive outcomes
Dr. Fagelson treated me for two different types of cancer 10 years ago, and I am still cancer free. He is kind, friendly, and spends time productively. I have no problems working with him on any other issues that come up.

I experienced kidney stone blockage and was able to leave an appointment request on line. The team got back to me, twice, to get me in quickly. Got meds to help and scheduled the CT Scan quickly.

Just What I Needed
I was showing early stage symptoms of a recurring issue and transferring from a practice member that has retired. Rather than start from square one, Dr. Fagelson immediately scheduled me for the imaging and I was free to go. The appointment started on time and ended promptly when the objectives were met.

Vasectomy - Wonderful Experience
I recently had a vasectomy performed by Dr. Fagelson, and I cannot express enough how positive the entire experience was. From the initial consultation to the procedure, Dr. Fagelson demonstrated a level of professionalism, expertise, and compassion that put me completely at ease. During our first meeting, Dr. Fagelson took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, addressing all of my questions and concerns with patience and clarity. I never felt rushed or pressured, and his calm demeanor reassured me that I was in good hands. On the day of the procedure, everything was handled with the utmost care. The procedure itself was quick and relatively painless, thanks to Dr. Fagelson’s skill and attention to detail. He made sure I was comfortable throughout and explained each step as he went along, which really helped to alleviate any anxiety I had. I would highly recommend Dr. Fagelson for anyone seeking a vasectomy.

Billing is horrible and staff is clueless
Went in for a bladder scope and was told that would approximately cost around $500 only to have them charge my insurance company over $8k. Before the surgery, the PA charged over $800 for simply going over what to expect during the bladder surgery which was about 5 minutes long. She obviously has her own practice and charges based on the minutes spent with her which was a waste of time.I have never had to pay a deposit along with an estimated fee before a surgery and this practice has two offices, Park Ridge Surgery and Urology Associates, so you are getting billed by both offices which is a complete rip off. I had surgery at Park Ridge and was billed additionally by Urology Associates for doing nothing. Horrible service! After the surgery, I did not hear back from Dr. Fagelson for over a week to see how I was doing and that conversation lasted about a minute total.

First Appointment
Most impressed with how promptly the doctor saw me (extremely rare for an MD to be exactly on time). And then his willingness to discuss my situation. Never felt rushed or that he wanted to cut me off. He listened patiently and responded thoroughly to all of my concerns. Only when I had nothing left to ask did the appointment end
