Not a nice man. Wouldn't listen to my concerns, was very impatient with me told me flat out "how many times do I have to tell you the pain will go away it just takes time?" On my initial visit he had a friends son in on my cystoscopy and said he was shadowing him. In subsequent visits he was just as disinterested as he was when I first went to him. My intuition told me to seek out a different urologist but I didn't heed my own advice. Next time your gut feelings tell you something listen to them. I'm still dealing with stric... read more
Kept waiting on the telephone for one hour. Instructions to register for Patient Portal did NOT work. Telephoned the office but connection could not be completed. What to do after 3 strikes????
Seen the dr two times. Spent less than five minutes with me. Didn’t listen to my concerns.
Dr. Szostak is highly skilled in urosurgery - renal calculus "kidney stones" in my case. He's performed multiple surgeries from percutaneous (incision through back) during critical care hospitalization, ureteroscopy with laser/basketing, shock wave lithtotripsy and ureteral stenting. With a warm bedside manner, caring and truly compassionate nature...I highly recommend him to everyone I speak with. Hospital staff at Mease Countryside feel the same. Thank you Dr. S ...You are the Bezt
As others have stated, he doesn’t listen to you because apparently he has all the answers that apply to everyone the same. I wasted multiple trips here and no success. Wanted to keep testing and scheduling more visits. Find another doctor. The office is less than stellar also. Welcome to corporate medical care these days.
Saw him for testicle pain and symptoms of low testosterone based off of recent blood work. Told me my symptoms aren't caused by low testosterone and if I raised my levels nothing would change. That is a flat out lie. He was more than willing to prescribe me Viagra though. Called in only 2 pills as a trial. Insurance denied it as they only approve 30 days worth. Called, left a message. Got a call 4 days later from nurse saying a new script was called in. Well guess what? He only called in a weeks worth so of course insurance ... read more
The doctor is very knowledgeable and has given me all the information and treatments I've needed but no problems.
Long waits, he is rushed and efficient, competent but little warmth or compassion displayed, even after telling you you may have cancer. Spends little or no time explaining things to you and never asks if you have any questions. Rushed, rushed, rushed. Pleasant demeanor but like a robot. Never feels like he really engages with you.
Get a second opinion!!! Being a healthy male under 50 yrs of age and PSA number increasing shouldn't automatically mean perform a prostate biopsy. This is exactly what Dr. Szostaz did, without checking if I had Prostatitis or an infection first, which can increase the PSA number. I spent weeks in the hospital with fever, bladder retention, catheter in hospital and a week at home. Biopsy was negative. Now stuck with over $10,000 in hospital bills from a biopsy gone bad, I never needed.
Business response:
I am sorry that you feel this way and had a bad experience. My patients and their health are very important to me and I do my best to make a thorough evaluation, then take the time to explain findings and recommendations jointly. I utilize best practices based on American Urologic Association guidelines and current literature. 2nd opinions are not discouraged if someone is uncomfortable. I strive for the best possible outcomes for all my patients and would welcome the opportunity to discuss.
