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.

I would give a zero if it was an option. I had a stent put in my kidney due to scar tissue from radiation. I was having severe bleeding and passing huge clots. Some bleeding is normal but not this. Even though I ended up in the hospital every other month because I needed blood he refused to consider the bladder. I had 2 stints fall out in just a few months. I finally changed practices and they found the bleeding in the bladder the first time they looked. Said all the symptoms we're warning sign

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Oliver?
My 91-year-old grandmother with stage 4 lymphoma has been Dr. Oliver's patient since 2000 when a kidney failed. He/staff are pleasant/professional. He treats her conservatively due to her age, is always extremely gentle/kind. Besides taking care of her "good" kidney... once she fell and ruptured her failed kidney, and he treated her in the hospital with a stent then removed it when she recovered well. He's the best, we are all very pleased with him. He/staff are fast to return calls when needed.
