Dr. Powell is AWESOME! He is very kind, and knows his stuff. I would recomend him to anyone that needs urologist. He was very cautious and I really appreciate him. I have seen many doctors in this field, and he is one of the best!

I have been dealing with urologic issues for some years. Dr. Powell and his office staff are amazing. They treat each patient with respect. I am so grateful my PCP referred me to Dr. Powell. My health issues were diagnosed and handled very well. I couldnt be more pleased.

I originally wanted to see Dr. Richard Birhle and was very disappointed to find out that he retired. I was sent to this doctor instead. On the plus side, this urologist is very knowledgable and skilled. My problem did not require surgery, so I cant speak on his surgical skills, but he was very good at diagnosing my problem and providing non-surgical treatment. On the negative side, like others have said, he is very abrupt and testy. He doesnt have any warmth and was never interested in getting to know me as a human like my other doctors do. I think he prefers to keep an emotional distance from his patients, but that makes it difficult to talk to him. His staff is very nice and really gets things done. I never had trouble getting his assistant or nurse to call back, and they always got me what I needed in a timely manner.

Doctor Powells bedside manner is horrible. He talks to his patients with a sense of cockiness and arrogant. Once he is done with your surgery he throws you to the wolves he sends you home despite what your condition may be. Doctor Powell promised me a non invasive procedure yet I woke up with 3 different incisions and a Foley cathether. I still have not heard a valid explanation as to why the incisions were done when the surgery was done he went in the waiting room and told my mother that intercourse would be painful but he never heard a man complain because the pain would be because he tightened things up. I have been bleeding from my rectum since the surgery and it has been documented by several nurses first dr.powell said there was no way and then when his millionth confirmation came he said OK as long as I didnt lose no blood. This doctor is truly jekyl vs Hyde you dont meet Dr . jekyll until after surgery is done and hes headed to the bank to cash his check.this surgery has ruined my life

He has a god like complex. If you present him with new information or the latest drug trials, he acts like you’re talking science fiction not science. He had a horrible bed side manor. And he strongly lacks empathy and basic compassion. I wouldn’t recommend him to anyone

He was great before my surgery. But after my surgery he was very rude and had horrible bedside manner. He told the staff and my mother --Look at her shes HUGE! She looks DISGUSTING!-- He also told me in the hallway of the hospital while I was very doped up that there was no reason for me to have the symptoms that I had before surgery, even though all of the tests that HE performed we positive and I DID have theses symptoms for my entire life. For months before the operation I was bedfast from them. DON--T go to him! YOU WILL REGRET IT JUST LIKE I DO!

I agree with other reviews. Dr. Powell is abrupt and rude. He is not interested in the patient, only what the book says. I have found a new urologist and would not recommend Dr. Powell to anyone. Poor choice IU.
