Dr. Gavin Wagenheim, MD

I am very pleased to be able to have Dr. Wagenheim as my Urologist again, now that he is on my new insurance. Last month he performed a Lithotripsy procedure that eliminated 2 stones that had not been crushed in 2 previous lithotripsies by another doctor. Having known kidney stones is like knowing you are walking into a mine field, never knowing when you will be rushing to the Emergency Room. Besides his skill at treating kidney stones, I learned about his overall awareness of a patient's health. He noticed 2 separate small anomalies on my CT scan. He ordered additional testing that indicated they were benign. The earlier a problem is detected the better the outcome. The 2 offices (Astoria & Pearland) where I have seen him have excellent staff and my appointments have been on time; no long waits.

I appreciate the Virtual appointment for annual prescription refill. More doctors should provide this service. I did not lose any time from work.

Dr. Wagenheim is great I am excited for him to be the one to take away my faithful swimmers.

Very approachable and easy going.finally ,seeing a doctor doesn't feel like being in a court room.

Dr Wagenheim is a very friendly and easy going practician. I recommend.

On my first visit with Dr. Wagenheim I told him I thought I might have Interstitial Cystitis. He said I was at the right place - he was the expert. He did several tests and had several suggestions of what I might have but said I definitely didn't have interstitial cystitis because he could not see it and I could not have endured the pain of the test if I had it. After having done all tests he declared my bladder to be in good condition and that I probably had Interstitial Cystitis. I told him that he had said I couldn't have that because he had checked for it. He said "oh yeah, well then I don't know what's wrong with you. Come back in 2 months." I said "you haven't even told me if I should continue to take the meds you have prescribed." He said "it doesn't matter if you do or not - they are symptomatic". I went to him for 5 mos. while enduring terrible pain. I came home after 5 mos. in the same terrible pain. I went to the internet and found out that there is no cure for… interstitial cystitis - only home remedies. I did find out that I should not have been taking any of the meds he prescribed for me. I stopped the meds and started the home remedies. Today, after 3 mos. I have eliminated some of the pain and live with the rest. I am still in shock at his lack of concern and empathy for me and my humanity.
