Dr. Paolone may not be as personable as other practitioners, but I did not pay nearly $30K hoping to find my next best friend. I hoped for a knowledgeable, experienced and competent urologist to successfully perform my surgery, and that is exactly what I got in Dr. Paolone. If you are looking for Dr. Congeniality look elsewhere. However, if you want a serious and dedicated professional this is your guy.

I first met Dr. Paolone 9 years ago when I was having some problems with blood in my urine and Dr. Paolone did some further testing and discovered that I had a horseshow shaped kidney and kidney stones and a blockage in my bladder.Dr. Paolone has done 4 surgeries to remove kidney stones and fragments of kidney stones. I feel extremely fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Paolone because I know that I am getting excellent care. I would recommend Dr.Paolone to anyone needing a Urologist.

Excellent physician! Very up-to-date on current treatment for the condition I saw him for. Great bedside manner. He is very prompt about getting back to his patients even when hes on call.

Ive seen four other urologists, although none nearly as extensively (Im not counting P.A.s--Physicians Assistants in urology). Dr. Paolone is better than the other three in most respects, but Im afraid thats not saying much. Anyway, Dr. Paolone is friendly enough, but he tended not to check my history thoroughly enough before he spoke with me, and he tended to repeat himself verbatim at successive visits. He scheduled a catscan for me without consulting me first and after Id discussed the possibility thoroughly with my hospitalist who agreed with me the catscan should not be undertaken. I submitted to the catscan reluctantly, and it proved to be unnecessary. (Successive ultrasounds showed the object in question to be a cyst, not a tumor.) I was thus exposed needlessly to a great amount of radiation.Dr. Paolone was pushing me to undergo prostate surgery from the start, and that proved to be unnecessary as well. (Pills alone eventually did the job, although it took them significantly longer than it normally takes.) I also felt he withheld information about the surgery: that it effectively renders the patient infertile and that it normally takes the pills about six months to work if theyre going to.If you do make him your urologist, take what he says with a grain of salt, do some independent research about your condition, medicine, and procedures, and dont submit to procedures on his recommendation alone.

I only had one experience with Dr. Paolone and it wasnt good. He did a DRE and cystoscopy. The DRE was painful, it felt like he used his whole hand and didnt remove his watch. The cystoscopy with a flexible scope wasnt much better. His explanation afterwards was --this shouldnt have been painful, I should have been able to move the scope in and out with no problem.-- I have since have had a flouroscope to check for strictures and the dr. said and showed me the pictures that there is some narrowing, but would not need surgery for that. Paolone was already planning for a possible buccal mucosal graft reconstruction.

He uses staff to communicate. Doesnt respond to emails at all from him or his staff. Seems to be more interested in generating xrays, ct scans and hospital procedures that generate revenue than dealing with patients.

I wouldnt recommend this Dr to my neighbors dog. I had a cysto with him and it hurt enough for me to come off the table...as another patient said --that shouldnt have hurt-- was his reply. Run from this DR. He suggested buccal muccosa graft urethal reconstruction like it was nothing. If he would have done his surgery at UWHC that is what would have happened.... I actually had BPH and a larger bladder stone. Dr. Bushman at UWHC did the perineal urethroplasty.. due to strictures, bladder stone lasered, and a TURP.... all at the same time and very professionally done. I have since been to the Mayo clinic in Rochester for a stone that was lodged in my bladder and prostate, Dr Husmann did the surgery and again was treated well. Stay away from Palone he is a butcher, and only worries about making money.
