Want metastatic cancer? This is yur urologist! He will just ignore all of your symptoms and tell you that your prostate enlarges with age. Prescribes all the meds he gets sold on, and when you come to realize there is a 7 INCH TUMOR

I have the honor of having Dr Mekras as my urologist . I am an 89 year old male and as such have visited many Doctors of varying professions. I rate Dr Mekras as the overall best practitioner I have ever encountered and strongly recommend him. He certainly is one of a kind for his sincerely caring, compassionate manner and knowledge. He takes his time with his patients, and checks progress after treatment. His Staff makes you feel like you are visiting family. I rate Dr. Mekras at 5+ stars.

I tried seeing Dr. Mekras twice. Both times, I made an appointment, arrived at the office on time/early, was sent to wait after providing a urine sample, then gradually figured out the Dr. wasn't even in the building at the time the appointments were scheduled for, and, the office staff had no way of knowing when or if he'd be back. I didn't have all day to wait, and this didn't feel like a very respectful way to treat customers, so I left.

From setting the appointment with his friendly office staff, to the short waiting time, to the evident competence of this Doctor, to his follow up phone calls, my experience with Dr. Mekras has been excellent. It is hard to believe that he practices in Miami....

Dr. Mekras literally saved my life--twice! He is extraordinarily competent and the most compassionate and dedicated doctor I ever met. I call him, "The Prince," because he is a prince of a man.
