Brian Golden MD - RAS Urology Associates

My name is Leora I am 57 years old and have been going to the doctor for 6 months for the same problem. I have another appointment so I go and meet Brian Golden. What a great guy he really listened to me and I think he got it right. He gave me a few samples of a pill. I took one and it seams that it has already helped. I cant say enough about him. He is my hero!

Dr. Golden is compassionate, warm and caring. 100% great. HIGHLY recommend the doctor.

Avoid office staff (Jessica) RUDE and bratty!! Inexcusable!

My name is Debbie, and I am a 56 year old grandmother. When I had severe abdominal pains recently and ended up in the Hospital, Brian Golden was my doctor. I was amazed to discover that he honestly cares about each of his patients, and goes above and beyond the basic care I?ve come to expect from doctors. It was obvious that he listened and worked with me in choosing a treatment plan. He explained my options, told me what he would recommend in my case and answered my questions in easy to understand terms. He was very calm and reassuring, and I trusted him immediately. After discussing the pros and cons of each procedure, we decided to take the least invasive plan. Dr. Golden threaded a laser up to my kidney and chipped away at the huge kidney stone. (I went in for outpatient surgery.) EVERYONE involved came in to talk to me. It was like a meet and greet. When it was time for my surgery, I knew everyone in the room and felt the respect and compassion. While I was waking up, I could hear the nurse talking to me, gently encouraging me. Over the last few weeks, I have had a stent from kidney to my bladder. It has only caused minor discomfort, but is necessary until the lithotripsy procedure to hopefully shatter the rest of the stone. I am extremely satisfied with Dr. Golden and highly recommend him to ANYONE needing a urologist.Please do your best to get through the terrible office staff. Dr. Golden?s bedside manner and knowledge are amazing and well worth it. I encourage everyone to tell the office manager about any experiences with the horrible front office staff. The doctors in this office should not have to apologize for the staff?s sloppy indifference. All of those doctors deserve a lot more respect and assistants of much higher quality.

I made an appointment for a consultation. Spent 40 minutes in the waiting room before being called into the exam room. Waited another 40 minutes in the exam room. There were no apologies or explanations from any of the staff. I asked what the problem was- Dr. Golden overheard me and explained several appointments had gone longer than planned and added "it is what it is and the longer I stand here talking to you about it, the longer it'll be before I can see you". So, after another 10 minutes of waiting I walked out- demanding a refund. An unprofessional and inexcusable hour and 30 minute wait. I wasn't the only one- I overheard another gentleman in the waiting room saying he was tired of waiting and was ready to walk out. Another greedy, arrogant doctor trying to squeeze in too many patients.

I am writing this testimonial because I feel strongly about the care that I received from Dr. Golden. I do not normally take the time to express my recommendations, I feel and have always felt that only exceptional service should be acknowledged and that is why I am writing this now. Being diagnosed with cancer is an extremely scary and emotional time, for both me and my family. The care, treatment and eventual outcome of the cancer has the ability to consume your every waking thought. Dr. Golden, from the initial consult, was professional, warm, caring and in touch with the mental anguish that I was obsessing about. He treated me and my wife with respect and consideration while helping us through this challenging time in our lives. It goes without saying that he is an extremely skilled surgeon; I exceeded all of the standard milestones of recovery and much to Dr. Golden’s dismay and eventual reprimand, even played softball two weeks after leaving the hospital. I can only express my deepest appreciation for all that he did for me and whole heartedly would recommend him to family and friends alike.
