A piece of advice to anyone in need of surgery. Don't go under the knife with a doctor who's having a bad day.

Dr. Vey,ar and her staff were kind, professional. We got our biopsy results quickly as promised. She was very professional, caring and thorough in explaining the results and made sure we had a copy of the information. In addition -when we were unable to get into our first choice of clinic for 2nd opinion, she was happy to make a referral another referral elsewhere for us.

Dr Gemar has very poor bedside manner. Appears more interested in meeting her patient hospital quota then paying attention to lab results. It took two months to get a biopsy result that was very alarming and then call with results when I'm driving down a freeway. Not very professional in my book. Found a new urologist that I could trust with my Cancer care.

When it takes 3 months to be diagnosed with aggressive Cancer I'd like to know why? Hope this isn't a standard practice I know one thing I will not be back.

Felt I was treated like a number and wonder how well Dr Gemar reviews her pathology findings having to wait a month to be told I have aggressive Cancer is totally unacceptable
