Very pleased with my interaction with Dr. Yalowitz. I had terrible pain with a kidney stone. He was honest, open and showed me posters and diagrams of what I had, went over the options and took care of the problem with a short outpatient procedure. Very professional and I was out of pain. Would recommend to anyone who is in need of urologic care.

Dr. Yalowitz is the best! He was so attentive and always answered any question we might have had. He is truly an expert in his field and his knowledge and skill proved that. I would recommend anyone to him!

Very happy with his care. He was prompt, diagnosed my problem efficiently, and performed a procedure which fixed my problem. Nothing but positive things to say.

I had blood in my urine. He did an efficient workup, found that I had bladder cancer and took care of the problem. I am fine and was very happy with his honest and straight forward demeanor. Highly recommend. Excellent EMR and the printout gave me tons of information.

I was having issues urinating, he tried conservative therapy and ultimately I made the decision to have surgery (bipolar TURP). It was the right decision for me. I was in the hospital overnight, went home and am now urinating better than ever. On top of that, I agree the clinical summary from their EMR is the best and gives tons of information about what occurred during my visits and also references their website which is an excellent informational tool. Highly recommend to my friends and family.

I came in very scared about my problem. He put me at ease, explained everything thoroughly, and ordered tests and discussed the possibilities. It turned out to be a kidney stone. He treated the problem, it went great, and I couldnt be happier. Would certainly recommend him to my friends. On top of that, their clinical summary from their EMR tells me everything about the visit and gives specific information about me. A refreshing change from the norm. Very satisfied

I came into the hospital on a Saturday night. He was on call and I was in terrible pain with a kidney stone. He called me that night, arranged for a procedure the next day if I did not pass the stone and I was happy as I was miserable the next day. He performed a stone extraction in the morning and I was home in the afternoon. Glad that there are still some doctors that care about patients, and he is one of them! Highly recommend to family and friends.

I had an elevated PSA and was found to have prostate cancer. He was candid, told me the facts, and gave me a fair and balanced choice of the options. A refreshing change from just telling me --what I wanted to hear--. I listened, asked questions, made the decision we mutually agreed upon and am very pleased with the results. Would highly recommend to friends and family.

I am a 70+ yo woman with a long history of UTIs, sometimes with a drug resistant organism. Also had kidney infection & hospitalized for 3 days. I have received excellent, caring and efficient care from Dr. Y. He is thorough and systematic in pursuing possible reasons for my complaints, ordering the diagnostic tests , and the Rx needed to deal with my infections. He has always been personable and responsive to my concerns and follows up in a very timely manner either by immediate texts or personal phone calls. His office staff is very pleasant and obviously well trained in customer/patient service. As an R.N and O.T.R. I am well acquainted with health care professionals and what should be the standard of care. I am pleased to recommend Dr. Yalowitz - for female urologic needs.

Dr. Yalowitz was wonderful. He was spot on with his diagnosis of bladder cancer, and has the best bedside manner. He was never in a hurry, and always took plenty of time answering our questions. We always knew we were in the best of hands. I would highly recommend dr. Yalowitz to any family member or friend of mine.

I has a Vasectomy performed by Dr Yalowitz and I found him to be very knowledgeable, experienced with a good sense of humor. The surgery was minimally invasive and painless with the exception of the beesting shots. Recovery was fast with no swelling and pain free the next day. Next step will be the post operative appointment in about a month, then test the results at the three month month mark. The staff was also relatively accommadating with getting me in quickly for a consult and surgery a week later. Thanks Dr. Yalowitz and staff!

I did not have a great experience. I went a number of years ago because of frequent urination. He told me to pee in a container for 24 hours and then bring the results. He didnt see anything wrong and sent me on my way. To be fair, he may have been trying to spare me an uncomfortable procedure. But I went to another doctor and was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis and had a ton of scar tissue. I would not recommend him

I recently tried to communicate information to Dr. Yalowitz. He was extremely rude and unprofessional. I would nevet consider recomending him to anyone.

He told us one thing in his office, and something completely different on the day of surgery. Two other doctors did the exact same surgery on me that he did, but after he did the surgery, I had severe complications that I never had with the other doctors. He charged almost twice as much as the other doctors did for the EXACT SAME SURGERY! On top of all of that, he got rude and arrogant on the phone one time. Seems to care more about money than his patients. Seems friendly at first, but dont let that fool you. I had a TERRIBLE experience with this doctor. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

This doctor is to be avoided at any price. He performed a byopsy on me two years ago, The surgeon who operated on me later on could not believe the amount of scare tissue that resulted from the biopsy. It was in short a ****y.

Did not have a good experience with this physician. He was the rudest and most arrogant doctor I have yet encountered. I will not be following up with him again. Condescending.

A disgrace to the medical field. I went to see Dr. Yalowitz on May 28, 2020 with pain on my right and left flank and I was urinating 25 times a day. I had severe pain and was laying in a fetal position. When I saw the doctor he did not give me a cup to urinate in to take a culture test. He asked me why I wanted a cup and I told him I think I have a kidney stone. I told him I was drinking a lot of water and he laughed and said when you drink a lot of water you urinate a lot. I left the office after getting no antibiotics and was still in severe pain. I called the office quite a few times the next day and got no response. Finally I talked to Dr. Yalowitz and he sent me to St. Catherines for lab work and urine tests. I then called him back upset and asked why did I have to go to the hospital for lab work when you have a lab in your office. He got cocky and said I don't care about your results, you have somebody else read your results and you are no longer my patient. Went to my GP and I have a cysts on my Kidney. Why couldn't I get that answer from my Urologist. This doctor is the WORSE!!!

Very arrogant and rude. Terrible bedside manor. Was unwilling to listen to my concerns, kept interrupting to interject his opinions. Spent more time on the lap top then listening. Seemed to become agitated the more questions I tried to ask. The whole appointment I felt rushed except when he took the time to fill out the sheet to charge my insurance. Big waste of my time and money. Would NOT refer this Dr. to any family or friends.

Dr. Yalowitz would not listen to anything I had to say. He would not answer my questions. He said he would ask the questions. No bedside manner!

After my first meeting with Dr. Yalowitz I was left with a negative impression. The man was quite unpleasant. He talked down to me and seemed disturbed when I would ask questions. He gave very little information when I inquired. Unfortunately, things did not improve over the next two visits. Ive since cut ties with this man who just seems unhappy with the world.
