Dr. Christian Paul Pavlovich, MD

I have had a few major surgeries in my life and each time I tried to locate the best surgeon for my issue. And each time I have been either lucky or did a good job researching the best surgeon for my issue, maybe a little of both. To make a long story short, I traveled from Philly to Baltimore to have Dr. Pavlovich perform a radical proctectomy on me. There were multiple qualified surgeons in Philly but after many hours of research, phone conversations and visits with surgeons, it was clear to me Dr. Pavlovich was the best. I received excellent care from Dr. Pavlovich and his team from pre-op thru release and could not be happier with both the care and more importantly the results. He is simply top-notch.

I can’t say enough about Dr. Pavlovich. I saw him regarding a kidney tumor and quickly took a liking. He is an expert in the field, who also has a great bedside manner. He remained flexible with my particular needs and was highly responsive on the MyChart app. Can’t recommend him enough!

Outstanding urologist goes the extra mile for his patients !

Dr. Pavlovich provided the most professional and compassionate care imaginable. I could have had my surgery in Florida by the doctor who has performed more prostatectomy procedures than anyone in the world but chose to come to Johns Hopkins and Dr. Pavlovich. I will always be grateful to Dr. Pavlovich.

from the first appointment to review and consult to surgery and aftercare, Dr Pavlovich was clearly professional, extremely capable and did what just one would expect from a highly trained and experienced physician. I was in good hands--even when it was actually a robot under his direction! So, for these reasons, of course I highly recommend Dr. Pavlovich.

Dr. Pavlovich removed my cancerous right kidney. He has always been compassionate, informative, direct and responsive to all of my need. I can not say enough good things about him and his staff.

If you are reading this evaluation, you are undoubtedly concerned about your recent diagnosis and treatment. Hopefully, you have supportive family and friends who can help you get through this difficult time of your life. In any case, be positive and do your at most effort to make the ‘right’ decision for yourself. When my family and I learned about my diagnosis from my urologist, whom I had visited over the previous four years for the irregularities and somewhat PSA number, we were quite surprised to learn of the cancer’s severity—a Gleason score of 9! It was quite a shock. In the immediate aftermath, my life suddenly became consumed with worries and the difficult task of selecting a treatment plan. Dr. Pavlovich was the last of the many surgeons that I visited. I reached out to him directly by email explaining my situation at 10 pm soon after my diagnosis, and was pleasingly surprised to receive a very supportive response from him at about 10:30 pm that directed his secretary to… contact me for an appointment. We visited Dr. Pavlovich 2 days later! Although, he did not try to diminish the degree of aggressiveness and urgency of treatment, both my family and I felt hopeful and confident about the possibility of curing my cancer following our visit with him. In addition to his mannerism, we became impressed with his competence and confidence about his work, and the fact he is an active researcher in the area of understanding and curing prostate cancer. Hence, although Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center was by far the farthest distance from our home, and we had to wait over one month for the surgery, we felt it was the right decision for me. The surgery went very well; i.e., I did not have any complications beyond the normal side effects, and after the first day, I did not have any pain. My family and I are thankful of Dr. Pavlovich for the rest of our lives. I am very hopeful that his excellent work will result in curing this disease. My pathology report was all negative (in spite of the expectation of spread of cancer cell in the vicinity of prostate and needing the follow-up radiation), and my follow-up test of PSA was undetectable. I attribute this to being lucky and excellent work of Dr. Pavlovich. No matter what, I am always thankful for his efforts and work, and recommend him with at most confidence. He is an outstanding physician, surgeon and human, and is making important contributions to the mankind.

Robotic prostate surgery went as expected. His confidence (without arrogance) was much appreciated. I was impressed that he prepared for the initial consult with me by reviewing my records ahead of time. Good post surgery bedside manner.

Wonderful Dr.,very caring.
