Dr. Lance P. Walsh, MD, PhD

This was the worst Dr I've experienced in my life I was scheduled for a procedure in October and and when I called to check what time to be at the hospital it was cancelled. No one called me to tell me anything. This DR. doesn't care

I had the Urolift procedure done and it was the worst decision of my life !!! Not only did it make my condition worse, but now my new urologist wants to do another procedure (green light) to correct the botched Urolift procedure. My new urologist told me I very well may have to self catheterize myself everyday forever or the scar tissue may form. Dr Walsh told me that my urethra flaps healed together !!?!! So looks like this procedure has permanently destroyed my life !!!

#Urolift completely and permanently destroyed my life !!!! Now I am faced with my new urologist wanting to do another surgery (greenlight) to correct to the botched UROLIFT procedure. I am told I would have to self catheterize everyday possible for the rest of my life. My symptoms now are WORSE than before Urolift. Please be advised and don't say I didn't warn you if you get this procedure !!!!!

I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS DOCTOR!!!! I went to him for blood in my urine. And for a year it was as red as a red pepper. He Never considered cancer which is the first sign with blood in urine. Instead he concentrated on my bladder & with 3 exploratory surgeries & biopsies in trying to figure out why I had blood in my urine. I finally became an advocate for myself & insisted on an ultra sound which he was only including it for the bladder. The technician didn’t understand why he wouldn’t have included the kidney due to my symptoms. She step out & did my kidney as well as bladder & Found my cancer in my kidney. Needless to say I found me a Good doctor for my care. And had to have my kidney removed. But, not soon enough before the cancer had spread. And low & behold he leaves his practice here in Palm Desert & moves to Texas. I’m just now getting well enough to understand how INCOMPETENT this man was to me & my health. I pray this will help someone to consider another doctor.

NO NO NO !!! This doctor did the Urolift procedure on me and now I am permanently damaged from it. My new Urologist said I need surgery to fix Dr Walsh's botched procedure. My new doctor wants to do a green light surgery but he said I may have to self catheterize myself daily for the rest of my life or all the scarring will come back. In short the Urolift made my condition worse and I regret ever listening to Dr Walsh talk me into it !!!

Dr. Walsh recommended a Urolift to treat my BPH in 2018. The procedure went without incident. I had good results for about 6 month. Now two year later my symptoms are worse than before the procedure. My current urologist stated he would have never recommended a Urolift based on the size of my prostate. I had a follow-up with my current physician today as my quality of life has been diminished since the surgery. He scoped me and pointed out one of the threads from the Urolift had come undone which has complicated my condition. I'll probably need a TURP now which is what I tried to avoid, but the Urolift may complicate this. Note that Dr. Walsh has left California and now practices in Mount Pleasant, TX. Interesting timing!

Dr. Walsh is an outstanding physician, well trained, skilled practitioner of urology; personable, easy to be entreated, caring; his staff is second to none

This doctor should be in jail he is an incompetent butcher...

I've never been contacted for an appointment or to give me test results more than a month after the last test [DMI scan] - like I'm vanished from their system. The office layout is clumsy, staff is disconnected, work flow confusing, forms a lousy. Walsh is personable, well rated and competent but every SYSTEM is as bad as any I've seen.

I had the urolift procedure done in Jan 2018. It took all of 90 mins. 6 bands were attached to my prostate. The process was a little uncomfortable however was completed quickly and no sharp pain was experienced. For me, the procedure was successful. I am off pills and I have complete control of my bladder again including sleeping through the night. If you are considering this procedure, Dr Walsh is the one to perform it. Highly recommended.
