Dr. Brandon Kasem Isariyawongse, MD

Really poor experience overall with Kaiser San Diego Urology. Honestly, dealing with this entire department has been the worst medical experience in my life. It is very difficult to get an appointment and they try to push you off to phone visits whenever they can. Doctors seem all about quickly moving patients through their clinic rather than taking time to explain things and have a discussion. Also, the “next available service technician” model this department uses is very bad for continuity of care when you have a serious illness. Sure, it’s great for Kaiser but bad for patients. This is not Jiffy Lube…these are people’s lives. I liked him better than some of the other doctors but, unfortunately, that’s not saying much.

Was assigned Dr Wuerstle she lets you know what to expect what ever you decide to do about cancer. she recommended Dr Isariyawongse as surgeon and was in there with him for the surgery. they were not prepared for the complications and ended up over 7 hours on table. I expected to have one or both come in the next morning to go over what happened. neither one showed up. and some other doc came in and had no idea what happened. instead of being only over night ended up 4 days in hospital and then 4 days home ended up in emergency with more compactions. as result left me feeling like something went wrong and all my confidence with both doctors I lost. I wouldn't recommend either one to any one having prostate cancer in Kaiser.
