CAROL E. SALEM, MD REVIEWS
I went to see Dr Salem because of prostate cancer. I am 66 years old. She performed a robotic radical prostatectomy on me in November 2022, at Scripps Mercy Hospital. From the moment my wife and I met her initially, we knew we were in excellent hands. She is a gifted surgeon. I am so grateful to her. Personally, I had excellent results. I was anticipating incontinence early on after the surgery, but had none. Furthermore, I have had no issues with ED. I realize my situation is probably unique and cannot be expected for every patient. I consider myself in excellent shape and have no underlying comorbiities that would complicate recovery. However, hedging your success with the right doctor only stacks the odds in your favor. At this point, I can't say I'm cancer free because I have to continue to monitor my PSA levels, that anyone having treatment for prostate cancer must do after any treatment. However, if your decision is leaning towards surgery as a solution, you will find no better doctor than Carol Salem, in my humble opinion.
Dr. Salem is one of the best Doctors I have ever had! She is so knowledgeable and personable. I am biased because she has saved my life on at least two occasions. I have been her patient for over 15 years. I have heard nothing but wonderful statements about her. Her positive attitude is so therapeutic! Her clinical skills are outstanding and ahead of time. She is a wonderful surgeon and doctor.
Dr. Salem the best doctor in universe . She save my life in 2022 , very profesional and kind human . Thank you . Dr. Carol salem.!

MARTIN BASTUBA, MD - MALE FERTILITY & SEXUAL MEDICINE SPECIALISTS REVIEWS
Dr. Bastuba and his staff are great. The entire experience was great and I highly recommend him and his staff for your vasectomy. The process is very thoughtful and well done. He offers multiple avenues to ease the nerves and manage any discomfort associated with the procedure. He stays up to date on the most current methods and I appreciated his professionalism along with also being personable. Thank you Dr. Bastuba and staff.
Dr. Bastuba did a great job with my vasectomy. He carefully explained everything while he was doing it, and I felt very comfortable. The procedure itself barely hurt. And the pain over the next few days was very slight. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Bastuba is an amazing doctor. My husband just had his visectomy reversal on November 15th and we got pregnant 3 weeks after. His visectomy was 5 years old and he had the VE on both sides. I like how he talks to you like a normal person and he is so nice. If you are looking for a great doctor he is your guy. We highly recommend him to anyone.

BRIAN DICKS, MD REVIEWS
His demeanor is that of your longest childhood buddy, he makes you comfortable and calm and has a great sense of humor. Lets face it; you're there for some VERY personal reasons, a delicate procedure, or otherwise, you want to comfortable and relaxed and Dr. Dicks is just the guy to set that tone. The "V" went flawlessly and without any discomfort or issues. Thanks Doc! HIGHLY recommended.
Professional, courteous and considerate! Felt very comfortable with him and he was very attentive and patient. Answered all my questions and very straightforward what action need to take. Showed me the problem while doing the cystoscopy, saved me from a nightmare that was going to happen from a different urologist, said this procedure takes 30 minutes and you’ll feel much better again! I suffered for years and now I’m pissing like a race horse! So grateful! Thank you so much! Sending family and friends to him! Highly recommended!
By far the best urologist ???? have been too. Know ledgeable, professional, great bedside manner and up to date in latest technology. Highly recommend him.. Dr Daniel Vinograd.
