Dr. Samir was very kind and understanding of my situation and talked me through the reasons why I’m experiencing them. There was no wait time either, which was a total shock as most doctors usually aren’t as prompt as Dr. Samir was. Highly recommend him.

Dr. Shirodkar is an excellent and caring doctor. I’ve been seeing him since early 2017, and he has thoroughly addressed my health concerns in that time. He is always cordial and professional. His office staff is pleasant and easy to work with. I would recommend him as your urologist.

Verry personable, verry proffessional, and probably the only doctor ive met who i can confidently say i am comfortable with handeling my testicles
More than 1 year agoCorban R.Verified patient
I arrived early.
Dr Shirodkar's office is so well organized they were able to fit me in right away. He had intended to propose that I return in two weeks for another procedure. When I mentioned that I had a scheduling problem, he asked if I would like to do it today. SO, bottom line, I got more done than originally planned, saved an extra trip, AND completed my visit minutes before my appointment time.
On top of all that, they are nice, friendly people.

More than 1 year agoRobert B.Verified patient
I got to the office early with my registration & medical history forms downloaded & already filled out. I turned these in, along with my ID & insurance cards, sat down with a magazine for a few minutes, & was called about 20 minutes _before_ my scheduled appointment. My pulse & BP were taken, & after a few minutes Dr. Shirodkar came in. I consider him to be a very good mix of friendly, professional, personable, interested, & informative. He covered my problem, our options, & his recommendations thoroughly & succinctly. I was on my way home not long after my scheduled appointment time - a happy camper.

October 21, 2015Edgar A.Verified patient
Finally a doctor who respects a patient's time and listens! Dr. Shirodkar is knowledgeable, kind, asks good questions, and takes time to listen. As a person who recently left another urologist office after waiting over an hour in the waiting room and having doctors act like you are lucky to see them, I would highly recommend Dr. Shirodkar as an excellent doctor who is patient oriented.

There was a very beautiful medical center and offices and beautiful relaxing Woodlands on a spring day, and the office staff was excellent, and in addition Dr. Shirodkar was very excellent in determining problems and the facilities had excellent state of the art equipment.

Dr. Shirodkar is by far the best specialist that I have ever had the privilege of being seen by. I was in and out within a hour with a diagnosis and a plan of action. Dr. Shirodkar's bed side manners, compassion, and caring for his patients is a credit not only to Dr. Shirodkar, but also to his profession. His entire staff was courteous, friendly and helpful. I can honestly say, this is the first time seeing a specialist that I actually enjoyed my visit. Thanks to Dr. Shirodkar and his entire staff.

I liked Dr. Shirodkar's manner. He was thorough and explained things to me in a way for women to understand what is happening to them. I am on treatment for 10 days and then have tests done to make sure no unforeseen problems are occurring. I appreciate his office making time for me and being kind to me.

Dr. Shirodkar impresses me as very knowledgable & genuinely concerned about me & my individual health concerns & not just "rubber stamping" a diagnosis & treatment protocol. He takes time to listen & understand my concerns.
