I recently underwent a prostate biopsy, performed by Dr. Sukin. He was very thorough in explaining the procedure, the risks involved, the preparations for it, and the recovery after. The procedure went very well, and I experienced no complications afterward

Dr. Sukin is an excellent physician. He is able to communicate what he's doing or a procedure in a language that's understandable to a person not in the medical field. He has a good personality and the ability to make you smile, even under the worst circumstances. I would recommend Dr. Sukin to friends and family for their Urology needs.

Dr. Sukin, quite possibly, has the best “bedside” manner of any doctor I have ever seen. He was warm, welcoming and made certain to thoroughly answer all my questions. At this time I have not had any major medical issues, so I cannot speak on his proficiency for more complex matters.

My whole life has and is viewed as technical and strong DIY based on sound knowledge and experience now at 72. So, when I consult with another professional, I need to hear and see the technical details. Most patients probably just present their medical problems and then somewhat blindly just do whatever the DR. proscribes. I am not like that. I want to evaluate the AMA Line, the Alternative Line and the complementary line based on the current Doctor's evaluation and proposed treatment plan. Only then will I make my treatment choice. After our second meeting with Dr. Sukin, I learned enough from him and my online research to positively decide on the Resume process. We shall see how successful it is with my large prostate. My hopes are high.

Dr. Sukin is awesome, I have been unfortunate in the last several years to have some very rare major medical issues. Dr. Sukin, was more interested in setting a plan that was best for me and my situation. I was more than a number, I was treated as an actual human being, it was very refreshing to be listen too; and not told here is what we are going to do. I highly recommend Dr. Sukin. My wife who is a RN-BSN is also impressed with his treatment plan.

Dr. Sukin is in a league of his own. Not only does he listen to your concerns, but he takes the time to understand your situation so that he can provide the best diagnosis. His professionalism is bar none and makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. His office staff and nurses are top notch. They have all your paperwork ready and get you in and out after being seen by Dr. Sukin. When seeking a urologist, look no further than Dr. Sukin.

Every one in the office has been professional. One of the challenges for both patients and doctors is dealing with insurance companies. One of my prescriptions requires a PA, and Geneva, Dr Sukin’s PA expert, navigated the insurance bureaucracy and got the script approved very quickly.

I have had prostate issues since I was in my 30's, I am now in my 70's. Fortuately I always had a low PSA. Our family practitioner reccomended Dr. Sukin. Made an appointment, made the visit which was quick. Was informed what could be done, needed to come back for a final exam. Completed the exam and set the appointment for the procedure. What happened is what i exspected. Walked out of the office and my wife drove us home. I was doing good the next morning. Within four days felt fine. I have seen wonderful inprovements over the past two months. The best improvements are comfort and confidence. To me that's gold.

Dr. Sukin, in my honest opinion is fantastic. Whenever you meet a doctor for the first time, there is always anxiety. Too be honest, when he started talking to me and explaining my options, my fears totally slipped away. Dr. Sukin's ability to take the worry out of the situation, is marvelous. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing any type of help in his field of practice.
