Dr. Frank Joseph Costa, MD

I would give this doctor and his staff no stars if I could! His staff is unprofessional and rude and the office is in HIPPA violation. Want your urine sample with your identifying information (name and birthdate) lined up with others on the public bathroom shelf ? If so, then this is the doctor for you! Getting records sent from this office is a nightmare; sent a letter and called numerous times to have records faxed to another doctor. When the new doctor's staff called twice and finally received them, they were handwritten and impossible to read! Therefore the diagnostic test needs to be repeated! I am beyond appalled with this doctor and his practice.

Dr. Costa is a Godsend. I developed a significant bending of my “manhood” (Peyronies) and saw two other Urologists before I started seeing Dr. Costa. At first, I received (painful) shots down there that did not work. At the second, I was told I would need surgery to correct the problem and that the surgery could cause shortening, other new deformities, ED, and still might not be successful. I wasn’t willing to take that risk and had all but lost hope until Dr. Costa offered me treatment using a new technology that he said he had successfully used in other patients like me. There were no injections or surgeries. It worked like magic! I feel like a whole man again. The bend has essentially disappeared (and mine was really significant) and my function is better than ever. I wasn’t going to write a review about such a sensitive and personal topic but I looked online for such a long time looking for answers and felt like there were none so I’m hoping this helps someone else out there who has the same problem. Dr. Costa is my hero for fixing me like he did. He’s your guy if you have this issue.

Dr. Costa performed a Urolift procedure for my big prostate that was causing me terrible problems. I can’t believe the difference! I’m off medication and my stream is so strong. I feel like I have my life back and I can sleep through the night without getting up 4 or 5 times. Dr. Costa is the only one in Pittsburgh doing this procedure apparently. I cannot recommend Dr. Costa or the procedure enough to people suffering like me!

Best doctor out there. My hormones are now normal. I have energy like I haven't had in years. My sex life is night and day - my wife went from complaining to beating me away half the time. I feel great now!! Dr. Costa has helped me get a new lease on life.

Take lots of $$$ with you for the big thief.

Called the office number which directed you to call the answering service to schedule an appointment. Spoke to a lady who took my name and phone number so the office could call to schedule. They never called me!! Gee, I can’t even wait an outrageous amount of time to see a doctor ( like others have said) since they can’t even do the simplest of tasks, like call a patient back!!!!

Dr. Costa performed a Urolift procedure which avoided surgery . He is a top expert in the country in this procedure . My results were amazing with relief of symptoms and quick return to work. Thank you Dr. Costa!

Although the wait was longer than I would have liked, Dr. Costa really listened and was compassionate and more knowledgeable than other doctors I saw. He solved my probably which actually saved me time and money . He is the best!

The doctor took his time and helped me when other doctors couldn’t . He is an expert in his field and I can see why.

I have seen several doctors who couldn’t help me but Dr Costa took the time to listen and solved my problem. I recommend him highly although the wait time was almost one hour

Dr Costa performed out patient surgery using the urolift system on my enlarged prostate. Which was making my bladder 1/2 its normal. Surgery went well. Symptoms remained Then put me one two medications to prevent bladder spasms. 8 weeks later att my follow up appt. by the why it was a 2.5 hr. Wait again. I asked for a ultra sound just for peace of mind. He said no. We wrote another script and my insurance refused and needed Costa's office to get it okayed 4 weeks and still waiting Now have problem starting urinating and weakness continuing. I called Costa's office. Staff said they would tell him Week later not a word Dr Costa Gave PCP a sample. found infection and treating me. Be prepared for a 2 -3 hour office wait. Staff is rude

Dr. Costa does run late however he is a very dedicated physician and takes his time with you listens to health concerns and how to address them. The staff is very good they were accommodating to my my health issues and made sure that I was treated with respect. I will recommend Dr. Costa to my family and friends

Very knowledgeable.

I probably would have liked Dr Costa however , I will never know because after the first appointment with him for which I waited over an hour and a half, His office staff would never answer the phone or return voice mail messages in order for a follow up. I was suppose to set up a surgical procedure with him after a EKG was done. I called for 2 weeks and when someone would answer, they would tell me they would call me back and never would. I kid you not, 7 times I tried before I just gave up.

to long of a wait when you have an appointment scheduled. office is small and always filled. staff is not professional

Highly recommend Dr. Costa. He was compassionate and took the time to explain everything to me. You may have to wait but he is the best Urologist around. I would rather wait to have the best! A full waiting room is better than no one wanting to be seen by this Doctor!! He is busy because he is so good.

Dr. Costa diagnosed my condition correctly and helped me when other doctors did not. I can see why the wait is long. He is worth the wait!

Appointments are always a 3-4 hour wait. Last scheduled appointment was 10:45, didn't get in room till 1:30. Dr saw me at 2pm. Always draws about 10-15 tubes of blood every 3-4 months. Currently started seeing another urologist, cannot wait 4 hours to see Dr.

Helped me more than 3 other urologists I saw. Dr. Costa took his time and was very knowledgable and compassionate. Patients in waiting room commented he was worth the wait and they were right.
