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.

Worst experience with Dr Chidester and his staff, Dr Chidester's explaination was very vague, he is NOT reassuring at all and we came home even more confused, worried and in despair. Staff is very uncooperative in to giving appointments sooner, I would NOT recommend this Doctor to anyone

I was referred to Dr. Chidester by another doctor for my kidney stones and I was very disappointed in his care. I am a nursing student and I work in healthcare, so I had a lot of questions about my plan of care. I tried calling his office 5 different times in between appointments and surgeries to get answers to my questions with no response. I wrote down my questions for my appointment to ask him and he seemed very annoyed by my asking. He did not adequately educate me before or after a procedure he performed. He had no empathy for my pain or concerns. I normally never leave reviews, but I hope this helps others so they don't go through what I went through. I ended up getting a second opinion from another urologist and it was like night and day difference. No patient should ever be treated like he treated me. I hope to be a better nurse and educator after this experience.

Best doctor I deal with; calm, collected, concerned, compassionate. If you're dealing with prostrate issues, don't go anywhere else.

Poor bedside manner. He acted like we were putting him out by asking questions. My daughter has had 5 kidney stones and he told us there was no reason to take pain medication every time she had a tummy ache. Obviously, the man has never had a kidney stone!

He's excellent. I have been going to Dr. Chidester since prostate surgery 10 years ago. I'd recommend him to anyone.
