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.

Rude Bordering on Abusive
1- He denied receiving my referral approval even after 3 transmissions from my Primary provider. I received the referral in the mail from my insurance before he admitted to getting the referral. 2- Then he insisted he didn't get my records from my PCP 3- When I finally got to see him I told him my catheter was extremely uncomfortable. He said, "That's because you let the ER put in your catheter. They have no business putting in a catheter. You should have gone to a urologist" 4- I asked him to look at it and remove it or fix it but he said he would not without seeing the CT images. 5- He said I was supposed to have asked for the image disc and told me to leave his office, go to the hospital radiology department and bring the disc back to him immediately so he could review it. 6- I went and got the disc but when I returned 50 minutes later, he refused to take the disc and said I would need another referral / approval to review, then another referral and appointment to see me again.

I had heard dr Affue was a bad doctor but still decided to go. He was rude and he didn’t even send my prescription to the pharmacy yet alone, I didn’t know he had prescribed medication until I did my follow-up and he asked me about the medication. I called the pharmacy and they told me there was nothing under my name . I called his office and they blamed it on him saying he never sent it to any pharmacy. Not going back to him.

Thanks to Dr. Affue I lost my kidney. I have been going for 5+ years with painful chronic kidney infections and my issue was never resolved. All that he did was prescribe antibiotics, pain killers and periodically place a stent, without ever resolving the issue. I would cry to him why, why, why.....he would just answer my "ureter is too thin and by you crying is not going to resolve anything". All he is there for is to make money off his patients by keeping them sick. Thanks again Dr Affue.
