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.

communication could be better
My husband went to Dr Cheema a while back. No real complaints about the doctor. The ability to get an appointment, communicate with office staff, etc is, however, pretty average. You don't even get an option to wait on hold. The recorder arbitrarily commands you to leave your number for a call you back when it is convenient for them. The recorder cheerfully tells you this is to better serve you lol! So today - another effort to contact the office has resulted in my call yet again being put in the 'system of convenience' for them which is quite difficult, since my work dictates that I not carry my phone most of the time. This is exceedingly frustrating and gives the impression of indifference. On the upside, I did eventually get a call back, and the lady that I spoke to was very nice. I understand that they are busy but every now and then I’m sure they could answer the phone. I don’t think it’s going to change because it works for them even if it doesn’t work for clients.

Not impressed
Went to initial visit .I did most of the talking. He scheduled a lipotripsy two weeks later. Day of surgery I saw him for less than 30 seconds few words spoken. Went in operating room. Was told by my family they came out and said I had a difficult airway. After surgery I never saw Dr. Was released with no stent and no meds. 3 days later woke up in horrible pain called Dr and never heard back from him. Went to another ER was admitted with a blockage which was allegedly fixed by Cheema. Had to be admitted and had emergency surgery to correct what was not done the first time. Don't go to Cheema or Advent Zephyrhills care is subpar

I meet Dr Cheema at the hospital ER and after 4 catheter attempted by other nurses, Dr Cheema order an immediate surgery, within 3 hours i recovered. I find Dr Cheema a professional surgeon, soft spoken and explained throughly what he recommends. I highly recommend Dr Cheema for all your problems dealing with any urology issues. ????????????????

After having surgery in Japan I made an appointment for him to remove the catheter. When I showed up for me appointment he refused to remove the catheter because I had gone to another doctor for treatment! That is bizarre behavior. I quickly found a couple of urologists in Tampa who had no problem removing the catheter. Dr. Rudolf Acosta in North Tampa, a fine person, has been my urologist ever since.
