Visited as a new patient. The staff are very nice and welcoming with genuine smiles. I was seen earlier than myactual appointment time which was a big plus. The doctor came in and reviewed my recent blood and urine results quickly and efficiently. He sat away from me at his desk area across from the exam table looking and typing in his computer. He asked smart questions and specifically about symptoms etc and timeline of how they appeared etc. After that was done, I gave a urine sample. The doctor came back and he never truly did a face to face or felt my pelvic area on top to see where I felt pressure or pain so there was no exam per se, rather he again went off by his computer. If you are seeking warmth, compassion and a face to face type dialogue, you may be disappointed. He is to the point and matter of fact. The doctor did order a sono test but I felt he didn't really believe I had suffered from Interstitial Cystitis, which I had years back. He asked pointedly was I sure the bladder showed as abnormal back then and said many think they may have IC but he then does a cystoscopy and the bladder ends up being normal. I found that to be a bit odd. For a general urologist, this doctor is fine. If you are a woman however, you may want to seek a female urologist or urogynecologist if you need someone who specializes more in female urology issues and IC.

He doesnt spend much TIME with you-- Does what he thinks is appropriate-which may or may not be the source of entire problem. Does not always take urine. Did minimal blood work. Kind of RUDE/BLUNT to me about a very embarrassing issue that was not my fault. (not PC friendly).

Had to wait a little while but appointment was quick. Didn’t offer much professional information / insight on issue or ask too much about my context . Felt like he was reading from the top result on Google, and just superficially. Really only useful for a prescription.

I was seen first time in this office due to severe kidney stone pain. Dr. Shtainer was able to treat my pain and arrange for a CT scan. I avoided half a day wait in the ER. I was very satisfied and will return.

I have been visiting this office for several months and I am very pleased with Dr Shtainer. Although I originally came for a second opinion, I decided to stay here. This doctor always looks for the least invasive treatment. This avoided me surgery.
