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.

Dr Antario is my Hero
Was told by another doctor to stop taking the meds because I “do not have an infection”. My sleep was interrupted literally every hour to urinate. This was going on for two weeks and the pressure became unbearable. Finally, Dr Antario diagnosed me with three infections. He is my Hero. We are so fortunate to have him here in our area.

Outstanding
I was diagnosed with Bladder cancer in September 2021. Dr. Antario acted quickly to remove the tumor. My cancer is now in remission. I still go for treatments to prevent the tumor from returning. Dr. Antario and his staff are outstanding. Wish I wasn’t in this situation, but…I actually enjoy going to their office for treatments. Who says that? I am totally confident that I will be around for years under Dr. Antario’s care. I highly recommend Dr. Antario.

STANLEY KOZINSKI – Jul 31, 2022

excellent doctor. I had some unexplained issues before seeing Dr Antario. First, off, the staff was very friendly, and the nurse who took me into the exam room, could tell that i was very anxious. She explained in detail what to expect from this visit. Dr Antario was very professional, very thorough. He had sent me for a couple tests, and then follow up appointment. Dr Antario did a cystoscope in the office , which i was extememly nervous to get this proceedure done. However, his experience in his profession made this proceedure much easier than i had imagined it to be. Dr Antario spent a considerable amount of time explaining the results and a plan for moving forward. I usually have a second pair of ears with me on these types of dr visits, in case i missed hearing something, but this time being alone, i had asked him to repeat information, so i understood everything, and he did without hesitation. I would highly reccomend him to anyone who needs a good Urologist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see Dr. Antario for kidney stones. I have had a kidney stone removal, a stent placement, and stent removal. Dr. Antario is the best doctor I have every visited (he is the 4th I've seen). He spends his time with his patients, takes the time to explain why they are having pain and what procedures he will be performing. He took the time to figure out why I was having kidney stones and put me on medication to eliminate the problem after I had visited 3 other doctors that had given me no answers. I never felt like a number, I truly felt (and feel) like Dr. Antario cares about my wellbeing. I have been going to Dr. Antario for 3 years now and every time I have seen him and been given time to ask my questions. The only wish I have would be that Dr. Antario was a general doctor so I could see him for everything.

Knowledgeable, relates too patient. Very careful. For prostate biopsy he uses 3 different antibiotics and gets results far superior to the recommended standard of 1 antibiotic. I have been going to him for over 20 years.

I've seen the dr 4-5 times and yes, there are waits often and yes, I think that's because we don't have many urologists here, but my last visit changed my opinion of him in a great way. I stopped at Easton Hospital for bloodwork and then I had an appointment with him - and there he was leaving the hospital ahead of me. He had a moment to talk since I was the first patient and said he'd done 7 surgeries before starting at the office. For years he's worked 70-80 hours a week. A good man!

Easton, PA – Feb 03, 2019
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Antario?
I have had 4 appointments , and usually cannot get into the exam room until 45 minutes to 2 hours AFTER my appointment time. The doctor seems well trained, but does not always hear all the details. He did not seem to want to talk about specifics and causes of my apparent illness. I had several urine tests, some of which had different results between in-office and lab results. I am "cured" for now, but not satisfied with the process.

I doubt if there's a more competent or experienced urologist in the area. Dr. Antario quickly diagnosed my painful UTI and brought it under control with antibiotics and a catheter. Most importantly, he listened to me patiently and answered my questions clearly, which helped overcome my natural anxiety of the "unknown". Sure, there can be a wait time to see him, but that's because he's in great demand.

As a new patient I found dr antario to be very efficient. He spent plenty of time to explain my treatment and made sure I took the proper tests to confirm his diagnosis. I would without a doubt recommend him to any one who need s a urologist. Thank you Doctor antario

If you make an appointment for this Dr. you had better clear your entire afternoon schedule. Your appointment time means absolutely nothing and you will be there for 1 1/2-2 hours, mostly waiting. The Dr. comes in, spends a max of 10 minutes with you. He is arrogant, condescending, and has an all around terrible bedside manner. He does seem to know what he's doing but I don't think that makes him special. It is my expectation of any Doctor. The office staff varies from nice to nasty.
