Doctor Faulkner is excellent. Informative and caring. Patient is not rushed. He explains all options available and explains what can be expected. Nurse Juneco (sp?) is attentive and communicative before procedures. Run don’t walk to this Doctor one of the best in the desert.

One of the most honest, straightforward, and technically best of the many doctors I have dealt with. If all doctors were more like Dr, Faulkner medicine would be far better off.

Dr. Faulkner has a terrific "bedside manner," easy to speak to, and takes his time to listen to what you have to say. I would highly recommend him.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Faulkner?
after going to 2 other urologists and sitting in a waiting room with miserable stressed out patients, enduring painful exams and procedures, and indifferent staff I was fortunate to find Dr Faulkner. Despite being anxious about the exam he expertly and painlessly performed the procedure. He has a chilled out demeanor and a super friendly staff in a calm, soothing office environment. I can't recommend Dr Faulner high enoufh.

I can't believe Dr. Faulkner's NP Terry actually asked me how I FELT and wrote it down word per word in detail and asked me questions about how I was doing like she actually CARED. A DOCTOR WHO CARES!!! If you're looking for a urologist in the Coachella Valley, look no further than Dr. Faulkner. If you already have a urologist in the Coachella Valley then switch because he probably isn't treating you as well as Dr. Faulkner. Dr. Faulkner is the best!

His secretaries are mean, nasty, and bitter. You have to tip toe around your words or they'll turn into scum in a heartbeat. One of them went full on beach for asking a few questions.

Dr. Faulkner is highly knowledgeable, compassionate, caring, and I highly recommend him. He is a rare breed nowadays. So relieved to have him as my physician. His nurse is equally as helpful and caring and the rest of the staff are the same. Can't say enough positives about him and his staff.
