The Brady Urological Institute at Johns Hopkins

Not thrilled with the follow through from this department after my husbands radical prostectomy surgery. Dr Allan may know how to do surgery but no follow up. Expected the patient to remove his own catheter at home on the 9 th day after surgery. We requested it to be done at the office and asked to have a VERY oozy incision examined. It was soaking through bandages and shirt. They clearly didn’t know how to bandage it. By the time we got home it soaked through his shirt. The very next day e ended up back in Er for severe pain. Sited many hours for an answer and finally sent home with meds for bladder spasms Incision was still oozing through large pads and clothes. Thank goodness for an RN friend that suggested steri strips. Also no follow through visit with surgeon, my husband was just told to go see his GP. She did not do the surgery. Very disappointed!

Great service after prostate biopsy. I was scared at first, but doctors and several nurses made me feel right at home. Some great serious minded doctors and nurses. They said they were going to get me well and they did. I thank them all.

I was refereed here, and it was a horrible experience. I will say that the Sonogram tech was great, very professional. I made my appointment after my scan, and was told by the Urologist that surgery would not help, he did not want to do the surgery, no call a freind, nothing; while the Specialist went back and forth I was approached by other members of the staff asking me about Fertility, and other things that I did not really care about, what a mess. I actually beloved this dude for several years, then I was referred by my new PCP to a specialty group, and the Dr was like, this is Urology 101, let’s get it sorted, Surgery, two weeks of low activity, all better. If you have some plague go to John’s Hopkins, otherwise you are better Somewhere else. Funny or not, when my Specialist asked for the old Sonogram, they did not have it, lost, never to be found. I give one star as the Sonogram tech was kind, and the receptionist called me by my first name.

Met with Dr. Partin and it was the worst medical experience my husband and I have ever had. Saw him for a second opinion and while my husband was getting his blood pressure checked the nurse said" did you hear that your Gleason score is now 9, not 7?" She not Dr. Partin told us. When we finally sat down with him he couldn't answer most of our questions saying he wasn't an oncologist. Why wasn't another medical professional with him who could answer our questions. Both my husband and I have spent years in health care and without question it was an awful experience that lacked basic professionalism and bed side manner.

Horrible. I had a doctor here, he left and no one told me I was being transferred to another doctor. But that’s not the main issue. I gave one of their labs a kidney stone to analyze. Four months later, there were no results so I contacted the doctor. They told me the results must not be ready and that I should contact the lab myself. After talking to the lab they told me that they had the results for months. Apparently the results were then sent over and I got a message saying the results were in a linked document. Document was never attached and since my doctor had left I had no one to ask. Finally called the office (after weeks of not hearing back via mychart) and was informed I had to call Quest to tell them to fax the results to the doctor. I really don’t think any of this is a patient’s responsibility. The new doctor I was transferred to was unhelpful and unsympathetic. I’ve been going to urologists for 10 years and have seen some all over the country. This is absolutely the worst experience I’ve ever had with a urology department.
