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.

Zero empathy.

Waited about a month for my appointment to find out he would give me a 15min consultation.Zero empathy, given the delicate nature of my consultation. Left me and my wife disappointed. Don't feel I would want to trust him further.

Implant Surgery
Got excellent treatment for my penile implant surgery from Dr. Thomas Walsh. The post surgery pain was minimal and the doctors office was reachable all the time. Highly satisfied and fortunate that I chose Dr. Walsh for my implant surgery

Nightmare in Real Life
I had a horrible job done on a recent operation. There were so many red flags after the initial appointment I overlooked. I should have trusted my gut feeling. Now I will have to spend thousands more and risk permanent damage to my sensitive part with another surgeon. This has been a nightmare that will take more than a year off my sex life, and psychologically I probably will never recover. It seems other reviewers are showing their pain too. Steer clear of this guy.

Poor treatment when surgery did not go well
My son went in for hydrocelectemy. When the results were much less than ideal he seemed almost annoyed we were there for follow up and said something about not everything always ending up "perfect". Fingers crossed it might get better and come back in a few months is all we got. Treated me as parent very dismissively. Had the gall to actually tell me my child had not pain when just that morning he told me it was painful. Terrible doctor and I wish we had done our research- I see other poor review and negative experiences (with exception of penile implants. Maybe that's all he can do)

I had two adult c!rcumcisions done by Dr. Walsh at his recommendation. I say two because he didn't do the first procedure correctly and my p_enis was ripping during s*xual activity. He suggested another circumcision to fix what went wrong with the first one. I trusted him and proceeded. It made it worse. S*x used to feel like a freeing experience where I could connect with another individual. Now, I can't without knowing that my skin will rip all the way around the shaft and I will be in pain for a few days post-s*xual activity. I have so much s*xual trauma/hospital trauma/lack of trust in medical professionals now, at this point I don't know what to do. I saw local Urologist professionals and they said they would absolutely not do another circumcision & had no solution. So, here I am at age 29, not able to have a s*x life because of the negligence of Dr. Walsh. Thank you for the trauma that I have endured and will continue to endure, it's going to take years to get me back to myself.

Dr. Walsh installed a AMS implant but the procedure caused UTI infection a week later hospitalizing me. His implant work was lacking, resulting in me needing a replacement merely a few years later.

I am 82 years old and had a penile implant. Have been very sexually active since I was 18. Continued until I was in my mid 70's than ED set in. Dr Walsh gave me the confidence to move ahead. After surgery was uncomfortable for 10 days but took no pain medication at all. Finished the 6 weeks recommended before sexual activity. Implant works as advertised, Only reservation is engorgement that is lacking but am told will improve over time. Contend with Doctor Walsh and the decision.

Rude, arrogant. I took a DNA fragmentation panel after trying to conceive unsuccessfully for 18 months. Morphology of 1%, DFI of 21%. This was my 4th semen analysis. He spent nearly the entire session explaining the basic parameters I already knew all about, giving me historical details about how the measurements worked and doctors who discovered certain details about seminal parameters. I tried explaining I knew all this. He was insistent we go over everything from the beginning. At the end, he asked if I had any questions. I started asking a question and he cut me off saying we only had two minutes left. I told him I was concerned about the results, which are clinically teratozoospermia. I requested a hormone panel and follow-up diagnostics. He said that I could ask another doctor, but he wouldn’t order the tests because, and I quote: “it’s not a good use of my expertise.” He didn’t care about me as a patient. He’s too busy putting in penile extension implants to be a real Dr.

I saw Dr. Walsh at the UW Male Fertility Clinic. The clinic was incredibly unwelcoming to transgender/LGBT patients. After changing my legal name, the records department refused to update the name on existing records. I expected better from a clinic advertising themselves as being "transgender-friendly"

Had a great experience with Dr. Walsh for my penile implant. The entire surgery and recovery went smoothly with minimal pain and discomfort and the results are excellent. The entire team is cooperative at every stage of surgery and accessible whenever required. Really recommend Dr. Walsh and lucky to consult him for my implant surgery.

he was unsympathetic and dismissive. my husband came home frustrated and sad after seeing him for a consultation, which put tremendous pressure on the already stressful infertility we are dealing with. 10 mins before the second appointment when we were already at the clinic, he called and said that he wasn't there and will do the appointment over the phone. we switched to a different doctor and are so glad we did.

I was operated on by Dr. Thomas Walsh, MD on June 6, 2017. I received a penile implant procedure of a Coloplast Titan implant. The whole from first meeting Dr. Walsh to leaving the UW Hospital has been one of excellence. Dr. Walsh is the most caring and professional doctor I have ever been treated by. He is supported by an excellent staff that will place the patient first. It has been 5 days since the surgery and I am now moving around with little discomfort. Dr. Walsh is highly recommended
