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. Isacksen has been my trusted urologist for chronic kidney stones for 22+ years. I would never go see anyone else. He has a great bedside manner. I would highly recommend him! The only downside is that he is extremely busy so making an immediate appointment can sometimes be difficult.

I am 15 weeks pregnant and had a kidney stone removed by Dr. Issackson, the stent was put in wrong and he blamed the nurse, he finally came and checked on me when I was in the hospital and ripped the stent out and put a new one in without any anesthetic or warning. He then told me to schedule a recheck with my PCP not him, and I haven't seen him since. A week later I ended up in ER because I couldn't urinate due to swelling I now have a cath in me and am seeing a new urologist.

It took three months to get into him for the biopsy and involved two cancellations on his part. It then took 3 more months to have the surgery. He did the surgery with the DaVinci and, I found out later, left about 30% of the Prostate (Gleason 4,3). When PSA didn't drop as expected, he said there must be a little tissue left and sent me for radiation. I am six years out and have been undergoing hormone therapy and now must have chemo. That little bit of tissue may well end up taking my life
