Dr. Polcari was timely, prepared having reviewed my history and reason for referral, and was great to discuss first initial thoughts, which he and staff graciously encouraged my husband be engaged. After that Dr. Polcari respectfully did the exam and then made some recommendations for next-steps. Given the initial concern by my primary, bringing to this consult with Dr. Polcari, he understood the personal concern, so appointments to gather more specific diagnostic information was made quickly, and Dr. Polcari called the next day with findings and more recommendations. Being apprehensive going into the appointment, and traveling some distance to see him, based on my primary's recommendation, I found that Dr. Polcari's approach to be not only reassuring, keeping it in perspective, but one of collaboration with the patient and the patient's spouse. I feel that Dr. Polcari is an excellent doctor, diagnostician, respectful of patient and patient's family/spouse, and engages the patient in every step of decision-making. Finally, things were explained in easy-to-understand terms. I highly recommend Dr. Polcari if in need of urology care.

My experience at Metro Urology and with Dr. Polcari was exceptional !! From the time of check in to check out it was nothing but a professional and caring experience and made my first experience visiting a urologist a very pleasant one. I would highly recommend Metro Urology and Dr. Polcari to anyone !!

I received an outstanding service from Dr. Policari that cannot go unrecognized. Although I have not met Dr. Ploicari before, when he went inside the exam room, he was very welcoming and I felt right away that I will be taken care of that day. He was very patient and clear in explaining to me my situation which needed an immediate surgery. I was hoping that he will have the time in the next day or so and he arranged for it. Normally after the word surgery is mentioned you start hesitating and you would want to take a second opinion somewhere else, especially in my case knowing that my procedure could be two steps due to a past experience. I did not feel the hesitation and before I walked out of the office I was already scheduled for a surgery within 24 hours. Before the procedure Dr. Policari came to talk to me and I could see that he was positive that things will go just fine. He did not make a commitment but I am sure he tried his best and by the end of the day I was recuperating in my home. I am grateful to Dr. Policari and all the staff of Metro Urology. I also want to make sure that when patients rate doctors, they should do so based on their skills and services provided. Please do not give a bad rating because a doctor was late for an appointment. These folks are out there saving lives and treating us. Doctors focus on taking care of patients and their time management is irrelevant.

I had a completely different experience with Dr. Polcari. I had (unknowingly) a swollen kidney caused by a narrowing of a ureter and a kidney stone. He was able to get the stone out, despite my narrowed ureter. He was very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. He was also very responsive to my questions and follow-up contact. Based on my experience, I would recommend him.

I am a nurse and work with Drs all day. I have to say I was very impressed with this Dr. I have had issues with hypokalemia (low potassium) and uncontrolled hypertension for years. Not one Dr has ever mentioned and causes relating one to the other, they just put me on meds to control each issue. Within 10 minutes of me mentioning my hypokalemia, he asked if Ive been tested for elevated aldosterone levels. I had not, no-one has even mentioned it. Low and behold, I have elevated aldosterone levels and that in itself can cause both of my health issues. Hes even consulting another Dr about my case to make sure I get the best care. I would definitely recommend him, and actually have twice already since my appt last week in St. Paul. Kudos to this Dr and his nurse Jenn.

My first ambulance ride to United Hospitals Emergency Room where I was diagnosed with a large Kidney Stone and was admitted to hospital late at night. Dr. Polcari met me in my hospital room the next morning, explained thoroughly what he would do, and operated on me shortly after that, he was able to use a laser to blast the stone. My follow up appt three weeks later was very thorough and I was given some dietary advice and I have had no problems since.

I have been under Dr. Polcari care for prostate cancer for a year + and he will be doing my surgery. I feel very confident in his knowledge and ability to see me through, to a positive ending, of my medical condition. I highly recommend he and his staff if you need any treatment for prostate problems.

Dr. Polcari is not only an excellent surgeon, but he took the time to answer every question I had and made himself available to me when needed. I could not have had better care than what he and his team provided to me. He is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and compassionate.

"I was disappointed with the way my 2 appointments with Dr Polcari went and how it made me feel interacting with him. I felt that his bedside manner was cold and it seemed to me that he didn't really care for my concerns. He might be very knowledgeable but I am not comfortable continuing to see him and have found a different urologist."

From the beginning, Dr. Polcari has been a nightmare to deal with. He messed up everything, including the medication, diagnosis, and scheduling the surgery. After he put me on the wrong medication the first time, I told him to bring another urologist in for a consult, and the other guy took me off the current medication and put me on the right ones and then diagnosed me with a hernia which Dr. Polcari missed, even though I told him I was having severe groin pain. Originally, it was going to be Dr. Polcari doing the surgery, but he called me and said that he has a bad record with that surgery and --that I really dont want him doing it.-- He said he would schedule it with another doctor. He never rescheduled it. After all was said and done, it was drawn out for 3 months and I ended up in the ER because of the delay. Metro Urology is a terrible office, and Dr. Polcari is a moron. Even if you need to drive to another network, do whatever you can to avoid Metro Urology and Dr. Polcari.
