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.

Unprofessional in the extreme
During a scope of my bladder he began exclaiming, “I’ve never seen so much explanation. I don’t know what could cause that. I have to go look it up.” So he left me there with the catheter still in me. I don’t even want to hear someone say such a thing about my car let alone my body. Nor did he ever explain why he freaked out—and clearly he did. In fact, his replies to my questions were brusk and long in coming. Mostly I was fobbed off on the nurse practitioner who, significantly, is no longer there. I recommend avoiding this person if possible.

Outstanding Clinician
Dr Hillelsohn, was friendly and really knowledgable. It is tough to trust someone with surgery down there. But he did it and I feel like I am 20 again. I cant reccomend him enough.

Bar None, The Best Doctor I have Ever Had
After 2 years of being treated by Dr. Hillelsohn my recovery is complete. I am now able to go about my daily routine without a constant need to find a toilet, I can sleep through the night, and most importantly, I regained my confidence and I can socialize as I did before I developed my prostate condition (incontinence).I have never met a more professional and empathetic practitioner as Dr. Hillelsohn, and that goes for all of his team as well.Dr. Hillelsohn also kept his promise to me and I do not suffer from ED after all the procedures I went through. :-)

A good experience. Even though every waiting room chair (six feet apart) was taken at first, the entire process ran very smoothly and was very organized. Unlike other places where they stick you in a room and you wait and wait, looking around, wondering when they are going to get there, they keep things moving. Dr. Hillelsohn is an excellent doctor and explains things very well.
