Dr. Chase Kenyon Sovell, MD

Dr. Sovell did an excellent job of diagnosing my condition, providing me with accurate information and advice, but most importantly he and his team performed a successful surgical procedure. Everything he told me to expect, in fact happened. I was greatly impressed by his competence and professionalism. I would recommend him to anyone.

The doctor has an inability to provide eye contact or carry on a conversation about the needs and well-being of the patient; this causes incorrect diagnosis for the patients. Additionally, his nurse staff is rude, she hung up the phone on me and he did a surgical procedure without giving proper care instructions. Without the proper care instructions the stitches came out and he didn't do anything to correct the problem. I believe there should have been more communication prior to such an invasive surgery. He is horrible

On a Saturday morning at 8:30 I went to Abbott Hospital with a kidney stone. It stone was about 8mm and it was blocking my urethra in the upper part of the tube. It was causing pain and blood in my urine. On Saturday evening Dr. Sovell called me and stated he would do a procedure on me Sunday. I asked the nurses Sunday morning if they knew what time Dr. Sovell would be there. They did not know. Sunday afternoon the nurse came back and took me down to pre-opp. The staff had me ready then Dr. Sovell came in and told my wife and I that he were going to just put a stent in next to the stone and leave the stone in place (blocking and causing blood and pain) and would have to come back in roughly 2 weeks to have him go inside and blast the stones. Dr. Sovell also told us he had physically ran to the hospital as he was wiping sweat from his head and arms. My wife and I both feel that the operating room staff was ready for him to do the procedure but he told them that he had to take a… shower first. After the procedure I was a mess. When I first got back to my room and had to pee, I had LOTS of blood and pain and just about passed out as the nurse caught me and called for help. At this time I asked for my wife. The staff found her in the operating waiting room for over 2 1/2 hours. Dr. Sovell NEVER CAME AND TALKED TO HER. NOT ACCEPTABLE!! And he never came and talked to us anytime before I left the hospital Monday afternoon.Dr. Sovell, if you don't want to be on call, do us all a favor and get someone else that cares about patients and not so concerned about your weekend plans. People are in hospitals for a reason. The hospital staff and my stay there was an A+ No complaints on the staff, just Dr. Sovell. Later that week I was running out of pain meds so I called his office and talked to Esther. I asked her to talk to Dr. Sovell for more pain meds and she stated without even checking with him "I'm sure it won't authorize a refill of the pain meds and just take Tylenol" . I don't believe that is her call. i would avoid Dr. Sovell and dealing with Esther. I ended up going to Methodist and had Dr. Kesha do it two days after call her. She was GREAT! I'm staying with her in the future.

Went to see him about bladder pain. He gave me a prostate exam and it really hurt. I've had about 10 in my life but they never hurt. This guy poked me so hard and deep and kept poking for a while. Its been a few days now and I'm still sore. I think he irritated my prostate or bruised it some how. Also he didn't listen to what I had to say. He told me that i would get better in 4-6 months and to go home and have a nice day. No more testing or anything. I'm pretty sure u don't just have prostatitis. The er room said I had orchitis that they discovered with a ultrasound. How come Dr sovell doesn't use tools like that to look for problems or at least refer me out. He lied to me and said he won't do a ultrasound of bladder because nothing shows up. But I read that they can discover lots of things with an altrasound.

Can't be trusted hes just out for the money I wouldn't ever see him again.

Worst doctor I've ever seen in my life, so unprofessional and rude. My advise DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR

2/2/14 - The ER doctor admitted me to the hospital with kidney stones and infection. Dr. Sovell did not show up to discuss a diagnosis and treatment plan until after 2pm. He spent less than 5 minutes saying take antibiotics and drink lots of fluids. He was quite rude and told me all the treatments he could not due because of my size. Very demeaning comments about my weight and how it will effect my back, knees and hips. It appeared he brought his adolescent child with him to the hospital. She was peaking through the blinds to my room to watch. Totally inappropriate.

Dr Sovell had a buisy clinic but was able to take the time to talk about my problems. He gave good advice and my surgery went very well. I was very happy to be free of cancer after the surgery.
