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.

Not progressively minded as to other alternatives.
Not very up-to-date in his approach to prostate cancer therapy other than surgery. Dismisses alternatives to surgery. Be very wary and get several opinions before accepting his. Long waits for a rushed 5-10 minutes of his time. Not recommended.

Excellent Physician
Excellent! I highly recommend Dr. Brandt. Have been seeing him now for over 7 years for bladder cancer. Doctors today are always under time constraint but he is always in good humor and is always thorough and an excellent physician.

First of all, the doctor was 90 minutes late for my procedure. I almost left his office while waiting so long, and in highlight I wish to goodness that I had. Dr. Brandt performed a very invasive procedure, which has now left me with damage to my prostate. I should have sought out a consult with another doctor BEFORE I allowed Dr. Brandt to perform such an invasive procedure. Afterwards, he called me the following week and said he needs to perform another biopsy, as the results of my test were inconclusive. Thank goodness I went to another doctor. This doctor questioned why Dr. Brandt did the biopsy in the first place. Second doctor suggested I should have been referred for an MRI first, and only after this should a biopsy been ordered, if so indicated by the less invasive MRI procedure. I feel that Dr. Brandt needlessly subjected me to a highly invasive procedure, and sadly, the complication caused from this procedure will impact me now and in the future.

I have found Dr. Brandt to be entirely professional. He is not a therapist and expectations for same are unrealistic. His staff always answered questions thoroughly and with outstanding knowledge of my profile. If either Dr. Brandt or his staff were unable to answer at the time, I was contacted in a timely fashion. If you want to see someone who has 25 years of experience and knows his craft, make an appointment. If you want to talk for hours and hours, find a specialist who has less experience and more time. As an older woman who has lots of experience sadly in his area of expertise, I can assure you that you will be treated with respect, guidance and clinical know-how.

I would not recommend going to visit dr.brandt. He is unprofessional, unsympathetic, and overall unhelpful. I would try getting a recommendation for a different physician. He will get you no where and complain he isn’t getting paid for it.
