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.

Extremely good communication
So I am a male in my 50's. I have been putting off talking to a Urologist for sometime about my urinary symptoms. In the very first visit with Dr. Darson, he listened to all of my symptoms, explained in great detail what he thought the problem was and the testing needed to confirm his diagnosis. I walked out of the visit actually understanding a fairly complex Urology issue. Honestly, I would recommend this doctor to members of my own family.

Worst doctor experience I've ever had
I was referred to Dr. Darson from my primary care doctor as my PSA had spiked up over the normal range. He scheduled several procedures to check for an enlarged prostate and rule out any possibility of a bladder tumor. Dr. Darson and his assistant Blake performed a Cystoscopy in October 2021, the procedure seemed rushed and went quickly. within 2 days of the procedure, I had a nasty Urinary Tract Infection. They had given me a single dose of Cipro after the procedure. I called the office and they directed me to an urgent care, as it was a Saturday, where they took a urine culture. The results took 4 days and It turned out that I had one of the worst pathogens you can possibly have, Proteus Mirabilis which was resistant to the Cipro and all other antibiotics except Merapenen and Ertapenem which are Intravenous only. The PA on duty at AZ Urology told me to go to the hospital. As it turned out I was in the hospital 3 days followed by 7 days of outpatient IV Therapy. Cost $27,000

Just got home from an appointment with Dr. Darson and his assistant Blake. They were rude and rushed us out of the appointment. They only saw my wife and I four minutes tops. My wife was explaining what was happening only to be interrupted to push things along. Wow, first time we ever experienced unprofessional service at a doctor's office.

Darson and the staff at Arizona Urology are nothing short of great. I have had a stubborn kidney stone and they have been with me the whole way. I cannot imagine having other doctors help me

My young son needed emergency surgery and Dr. Darson performed it. He did an outstanding job and explained everything to me before and after the surgery. Thank you Dr. Darson I was such a worried mom and you helped me really calm down.
