Neighbors Jr, Joseph D, Md - Wake Urological Assoc Pa

Extremely knowledgeable and experienced surgeon who was recommended to me by several different physician friends. Office experience very pleasant- no wait, nurses friendly, Dr. Jalkut very warm and compassionate, easy to talk to, great ""bedside manner."" Discussed options for treatment in clear, easy-to-understand terms, answered all of my questions. Surgery went very well, no problems. Dr. Jalkut made sure my family was kept informed and made sure everyone was comfortable with the plan; he also was very attentive to pain control and to my comfort. After surgery he called me to follow-up. I could not ask for anything more. This is one of the great ones- I consider myself fortunate to have been his patient. more

i am a patient of Dr. Bennett and find him to be very caring. I do wait to see him some times but when I need more than my alotted time on the schedule or have had to to be worked in urgently he takes the time. I would rather see a doc like that than someone who pushes you thru and does'nt care. I am sure it is easy to run behind when you take the time to explain things like Dr. Bennett and his staff.\r i have a history of kidney stones and when I truley need an appt for surgery I have been scheduled within 24 hours at the expence of Dr Bennet's schedule, and I never wait to be worked in on the office schedule when it is something urgent.\r Kidney stones are expensive and a pain in the .....but the expierence i have had on the phone and with scheduling, with all the staff have been pleasant Pros: old fashion caring doc Cons: cant think of any specific cons more

I have a kidney stone since May 21st that is 5-6mm. I was recommended to see Dr Leatherman at NC Urological Associates by a physcian at Rex Hospital, he was unavailable so I wound up with Dr Bennett. I saw him on May 23rd. The 1st appt I sat in a room for over 45 min without anyone coming to let me know if the Dr was going to see me & I had to ask and got an attitude from staff. I was rushed through my appt and sent home with pain meds. I have been home from work with pain and called to move up my appt with his Nurse Sherri and was given the third degree as to how I should not be home from work and how I have to be taking pain meds 24/7 a day for them to sign my sick leave papers from work. They also took over a week to address the paperwork for my job & fill it out. I was prescribed Oxycodone so I legally cannot drive. Then she finally moved my appt from Thurs to Tues for the Dr to see me sooner. I went in on June 3rd & advised I have pain. The Dr made me get a 2nd xray and I bought it back up to the office that day. They forgot to cancel my Thurs appt so I went in and was told it was cancelled. I still have not heard back about my lithotripsy and it is another week later now June 10th. There is no communication with patients and lack of care about my pain or discomfort. I have clearly advised I have a busy life & need this procedure done. I have to constantly be on top of this Dr to find out my status. I have spoken to 3 other people who have had kidney stones and they said it is ridiculous to wait over 3 weeks to have the thing removed. I have tried to get another Urologist but most are booked, I regret going here and advise others to beware when scheduling with this clinic next to Rex Hospital on Blue Ridge Rd. Pros: Parking, Convienent to Rex Hospital Cons: To busy, staff over worked and abrupt. Nurses don't listen to patient concerns. more
