Dr. David Michael Chadbourne, MD

Did a biopsy on my kidney Tumor in 2007. Supposed to be outpatient but they kept me overnight in hospital because of extreme pain. The next day I called because I had a lot of back pain and total incontinence (a nurse had yanked on the stent connection when trying to pull my off the toilet I was capable myself but she wanted to move faster). When I called, he totally brushed me off. Even though I told him the nurse had admitted to another nurse that she dislodged the stent .. his report said "clearly the patient had inadvertently dislodged his ureteral stent". I ended up in the emergency room . I thank God I had someone more proficient remove the kidney

I was referred to Dr. Chadbourne by my VA doctor after a PSA test was 7.4 and a follow up PSA was 10.49. I am a healthy 56 year old. I can easily run 5 miles. I enjoy martial arts kayaking and biking. He done an exam on me and told me he suspected I might have cancer. We scheduled a biopsy. It came back with G7 6(3+4) and 6(4+3). He gave me two books to read and made another appointment for a bone scan and a follow up to discuss options. I read his books and bought two more. I joined a support group and learned from others experiences. I was well educated when I went back in to discuss our options. Dr. Chadbourne reviewed my tests and made sure I understood what I was looking at. Then he briefly explained the different options without bias, which I did not expect. I told him I felt like I was on the brink of not having an option and waiting longer to do a surgery wasn't for me. I explained that hormone therapy was not something I wanted to do at all if I could avoid it.… Then he said, well lets make you a referral to OHSU and get you scheduled. He was polite, professional and listened to what I had to say. He answered my questions and supported my decision 100%. Even though it was a surgery that he was not going to be performing. Even though it was a hospital he did not work for. I would recommend him without a second thought. His office staff were just as impressive.

This "doctor" was asked to leave a practice in MA, started his own, and moved to Oregon because his reputation was so bad in the area. Incompetent, does not care for his patients, and really a horrible urologist. I know MANY people in our area who had problems with misdiagnosis. Why he is still allowed to practice is beyond me.

Not a lot of choice here. He doesn't ask or care to know your concerns and because of that my kidney is not working. If you are lucky enough to get to ask a question he belittles you. It's over the hill for me

He won't speak with you directly he has is rude MA Irma speak for him. Everyone else in this office is friendly. Not a good experience at all.

Went to Dr, Chadbourne when he practiced in MA in 2001. Told me I had bladder cancer after a quick scope, did procedure in hospital after that to find out I had cyctitous. This started problems that continue today. I have no idea what he did but it altered my life and started bladder problems for now, 17 years. His partners kicked him out of the practice and he practiced solo till moving to OR. Do your research, be careful.

No checking for stones Not very thorough......

How can this doctor be participating in the care of people. He has no personality. My father in law goes to him. He did a laser treatment for bladder cancer. He did a horrible job on it. Please if you can go to Medford to a doctor that cares. Klamath Falls needs to look for another real doctor. The board needs to look into removing him. DONT GO to him...PLEASE!

I had a post-optical scheduled after a penile implant that would have required simply checking my incision for in fiction and taking out my stitches. The problem was that the Doctor who did the surgery was about three hours away and we are right in the middle of some major snow stormstorm. Dr. Chadbourne, who I have been seeing since he came to Klamath Falls, OR, and who referred me to the urologist in Bend, was not willing to do even a simple procedure. I am extremely disappointed in him and will be finding a new urologist asap.

Horrible urologist. Not competent in his field. Do not trust any member of your family or anyone you love wit hiim.
