Dr. Lodowsky really listened to my needs and made a good plan for my care. Everyone in the office was friendly. I can see what you mean about the medical assistant comments of wanting to talk to each other but it was tolerable. As for Dr. L, I really appreciated his professionalism and thank goodness I have no further issues! I would sincerely recommend.

I recently met Dr. Lodowsky after having emergency surgery for a non-related urological reason. While in the hospital, the ER doc found an 11 mm kidney stone. I was lucky enough to have Dr. Lodowsky brought in for a consult. He has a great bedside manner and is very thorough and on top of his game. He really cares. After being discharged from the hospital, Dr. Lodowsky and his physician's assistant Andrea took great care of me. I had appointments at the office and I felt comfortable. I never felt rushed. Everything was explained in a manner I could understand. They are taking all safety measures for COVID seriously and I appreciate that. When it comes down to it, I'm so grateful to have Dr. Lodowsky and Andrea. The staff is also great! Everyone is very friendly, which is the way it should be. Thank you Comprehensive Urologic Care!!!!!

I saw Dr. Lodowsky’s PA for a yearly checkup recently. She was very professional and caring. At first I was a little concerned about seeing a female urologic practitioner but said concern was quickly eliminated by the way she responded to my questions regarding my test results. I was put completely at ease. She and Dr.Lodowsky make a perfect team that I trust implicitly and depend on for the best treatment one could ask for.

I found Dr Lodowksy to be knowledgeable and direct. His consultation was very thorough. I did not hesitate to schedule surgery and the results were better than expected. I highly recommend Dr Lodowsky!

I have been treated by Dr. Lowdowsky for BPH and its symptoms -- urinary frequency, erectile dysfunction, etc. Dr. Lowdowsky listened carefully to my complaints and concerns and explained the options for treatment before deciding on which way to proceed first. He and his staff are cheerful, discreet, and very concerned with your satisfaction as a patient. The office is clean, well-organized and all of the "parts" seem to work well together -- clinicians, lab-related, office-related. Communication is easy and I have NEVER felt uncomfortable discussing my problems with the doctor or his staff. He offers the full array of treatment possibilities and always reminds you, as the patient, of the upside AND downside of each treatment option. I am extremely happy to have Dr. Lowdowsky and his staff on my team of medical providers!

He found the cancer right away where the other urologist did not. Almost to late to save me but bladder and prostate removed and cancer free for now.

When I called for the appt. the wait was about a month. But since my doctor referred me for a test there, the receptionist offered to switch another patient's appointment to squeeze me in as long as the other patient was OK with it. It worked out and the office staff all seemed nice as well as the nurse I had for my cystoscopy. Not sure why the negative reviews but this nurse was great and the doctor was very good about explaining everything and the results. I would recommend.

Seems very competent zero personality. Had stent removed had a couple questions and he walked out of room and just told me to follow directions. Sat there nurse said he would be back to talk to me. Walked past me 3 times finally I said if you’re too busy I’ll just leave. He handed me papers for front desk and said good luck. What a jerk

I just called to set appointment and was told; I would need to come in for consultation first. After the consultation and appointment set for procedure, I would need to leave a $350 deposit to hold my appointment for procedure. I have never heard of this. My primary doctors have never heard of this...BEWARE OF SCAM. DEPOSIT WHAT A JOKE!!! BEWARE BEWARE!!!!

Took my 12 year old son to see him and after 10 seconds with my son he gruffly gave us one surgical option. When I tried to engage in conversation about other options that I have researched he continued to be very short and just "no, no, no" We could not get out of there fast enough! Can't wait to see what they are going to bill us for the 2 minutes with the doctor!

This is not necessarily directed toward the doctor himself but more toward their business practices. I was told they would not even schedule my surgery unless I paid the doctor's fee ($1651.60) upfront. Sorry, we don't care about you, we only care about your money! They initially would not even see me for a consultation/appointment unless they actually saw my Blue Cross/Blue Shield PPO card themselves. Needless to say, I have no desire to have a doctor treat me who demonstrates no ethical concern for my well-being. You did take the "hipprocratic oath" did you not?

Very cold. Staff more interested in talking with each other than making sure the patient is okay. Dr. didn't even touch the patient 4 visits. Made patient wait 6 days for treatment for a MRSA infection. Office personnel chose not to fax copy of test result to nursing home when received on Fri. until Mon. No compassion shown to patient or spouse. No apologies either.
