My urologist for the past 3 years when I am in Florida. Excellent all around. Really listens. Actually recommended against surgery in my circumstance. You can really trust him.

I am a retired physician (Cardiologist) and had complications from a robotic prostatectomy performed elsewhere. My original surgeon tried his best, but could not solve my problems. Dr. Blitz came highly recommended from my oncologist, and he was able to effectively repair me. He has an excellent bed side manner, and I felt confident from the day I met him. One word of caution, do not get a robotic prostatectomy. Its not what it is cracked up to be.

I have been a patient for 5 years and know this doctor and his staff very well. I have complex problems and my family doctor sent me to Dr. Blitz for a second opinion. He poured over all my records and found some things that were missed. I have great confidence in him. I never feel rushed, and his staff is very accomodating. His nurse Franny is a Godsend. I have been recommending him for years.

Dr. Blitz is the best!
A serious, no nonsense, hard-working and family professional. The other doctors I use favor him as I do.
If you need a Urologist, he's a Winner!

I went to Dr. Barry Blitz for the first time. He took over clients from Dr. VanBeever. I want to say thank you to your staff and personally say thank you Dr. Blitz. I really appreciate being pain free in three days with a 5mm kidney stone. When I was awake I never had to opportunity to say thank you..

I have had a long history of urology problems, so I have seen a lot of urologists. He is the best of them all. Infinitely recommended.

I have been seeing Dr. Blitz for over 5 years. When I moved to Florida my primary care doctor referred me to Dr. Blitz. I could not be more confident in this man. Several of my friends and neighbors at Shellpoint see him, and we all agree, he is excellent. I feel confident referring him to anybody that needs a skillful doctor and a great listener.

After seeing a urologist due to a prostate problem and being told "after the meds stop working we generally take the prostate out". I began to search for another urologist. I was fortunate to have found Dr Blitz. He confirmed that there are other avenues we could take. Today I no longer have any problems and I still have my prostate. My situation speaks volumes for any man that having any prostate issues.

I have treated by Dr, Blitz for bladder cancer for the past two years. He is outstanding, very professional and personable. His staff also has been excellent. My only complaint is there seems to be a lot of turn over of staff. I would not hesitate to recommend him

Dr. Barry F. Blitz has always taken good care of me. He is very smart. He is an awesome person and excellent Doctor/Surgeon, I have always recommended Dr. Blitz highly in the past and still today. Dr. Blitz helped me get rid of bad kidney stones. Thank You, Dr. Blitz, for being the best Urologist in the State of Florida. Dr. Blitzs staff is really great too. I thank all of you guys very much. I was told that my kidney function has been upgraded since my procedures with Dr. Blitz. Thank goodness we have such great Dr.s to depend on like Dr. Barry Blitz.

Dr. Blitz might be a great doctor but he cares more about his $$ then the patient. Since I have a gastric sleeve and going without food and water for over 12 hours not possible. He scheduled 2 kidney surgeries the same day so I was scheduled to come to the hospital at 11;30. I called as soon as I found out and his scheduler said we would cancel and reschedule. Right, Bliz blew me off as a patient because I did not show up and I canceled the day before. Humm the hospital called me the day before so how was I to know and besides HE made the other surgeries scheduled for the same day. Like I said more about his $$ then the health or well being of the patient. This alone speaks VOLUMES of what kind of a Dr. he is.

I had bladder stones removed, dr blitz caused bleeding of my prostrate that required 4 ER visits & 2 hospital stays of 8 days total. No follow up by dr the day of stone removal . Had urethra completely blocked called office.They told me to go to ER and didn’t follow up for 5 days. It’s been 3+weeks & still on a catheter awaiting another surgery to fix the problem by another doctor.

The doctor is great! The office staff is uncoordinated, inept, lacks focus, bad patient relations! Call five times this week, got through, they could only take a message and pass it to the nurse, left one every day for four days in a row. Got a text message stating that we should call for an appoint for treatments. I said okay. They wouldn't schedule one because it needed the doctor's approval even though he had written in the patient history that we should come in for 3 treatments in six months. The staff also said they had to be in a row. I told them that to get them in a row, it had to happen today because we leave town after that. No call. Called again today and the staff said someone would call me back. They said that for the last four days. They also forget to order the "treatment" stuff. They also cancel because they say that they didn't receive the insur. authorization. They don't do stuff in time! I don't know why they are not tracking stuff and make me call.
