Dr. Julio Gustave Davalos, MD

My sister at 24 years old have been battling an infection for almost a year now, six weeks ago she was scheduled with Davalos to have a kidney stone removed, instead he put in a stent and claims he never found a stone. He told us 4 weeks with the stent and he still hasn’t called or scheduled to remove it or even to schedule an appointment to see how she’s progressing. She has been to the ER twice for fevers caused by infection. She is being admitted again today for a midline because her body is now resistant to all other antibiotics. When we call he refuses our calls and tells his employees to tell us he will call when he’s scheduled the removal. He spoke to her ONCE since the surgery and was very aggressive and dismissive, saying “I already told you this is a side effect of the stent”. An infection that put her in danger of sepsis is a side effect of a stent??? This person is dangerous and should not be allowed to have anyone in his care.

My daughter has been suffering from fevers and pain since he performed surgery last month and has not been able to get an appointment with him. When she calls his office to let him know she’s having a bad reaction to the procedure he performed, she gets told to go to the ER. He has not called to check on her even after she alerted him of her emergency visits. We had to get another doctor to prescribe antibiotics because he’s too busy or careless. We’ve been forced to find another doctor to look into her case because of his negligence. One of her ER visits she was in sepsis, it’s become a life threatening issue and he’s unavailable.

Yup. Cost me bunch of pain, about 3 weeks more than necessary and an extra emergency room visit. Didn't read his own report - didn't act on it. If he gets pushed, immature, defensive, very un-doctor like.

Poor follow-up and, by my estimation, sloppy and uncaring when challenged. Very defensive and dismissive. My wife and me have had medical issues so are not newbies to the whole process, and have never experienced what this guy put me through. Let the fact I am not including more details speak volumes about how I feel. Left me hanging. I now seeking another urologist to get away from this guy.

Large stone gone as promised, minimal recovery time

Dr. Davalos is an amazing provider. Not only did he do an excellent job on my kidney stone removal he explained everything in detail gave me brochures a video and asked if I had questions (which I did not) he not only care about your treatment but a a person in whole. He is an excellent physician.

In 2013 Davalos, working for Chesapeake Urology Associates, bungled a urethrotomy by slashing into the sponge, then discharging me without doing anything to rectify the damage or stop the massive hemorrhaging. Within an hour, fearful of bleeding to death, I ambulanced to Mercy Hospital Emergency Room where it took 12 hours to staunch the bleeding and relieve the pain , plus two more days in the hospital to recover. To this day no record of this event has been permitted to appear in the Chesapeake Urology operating reports. It produced the most intense and enduring pain I have ever experienced in my life.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Davalos. He took the time to sit down and explain everything he was going to do, what everything meant, what could possibly happen and what to expect. Not only did he do all of this but he also took the time to reassure me that everything was going to be okay and he was very confident in his ability to handle my multiple surgeries. I can't say how much this man has changed my life and how very thankful I am.

I was searching for a physician who performs a HOLEP procedure on an enlarged prostate. Without physician help or recommendations we were able to find Dr. Davalos through a call to Chesapeake Urology. In our initial appointment he informed us of surgery options,and was very honest about his ability to use HOLEP on my condition. He gave us his full attention for as long as we needed him to answer questions. After gathering sufficient information he performed the very successful surgery within 2 weeks of the decision. I found him to be approachable, skillful, and possessing a great bedside manner. I recommend him without reservation.

Julio Davalos bungled a urethrotomy , provoking massive hemorrhaging and sending me within an hour of my discharge from Chesapeake urology Associates in Glen Burnie I was taken via ambulance to the emergency room of Mercy Hospital, in Baltimore. It took 12 hours to clear the blood clots in my bladder, all with excruciating pain. I was then required to stay 36 more hours in Mercy Hospital for convalescence and observation. A devastating experience--the most extensively painful and frightening of my life. No explanation of what was done during the procedure to make this happen has been obtainable. Why it it happened remains a secret closely held by Davalos and Chesapeake Urology--raising suspicions of malpractice.
