The reviews for Dr. Maislos present a deeply divided patient experience, with both positive and negative extremes. On the positive side, some patients and their families praise Dr. Maislos for his professionalism, expertise, and straightforward communication, especially in dealing with complex urological issues such as prostate cancer and surgical interventions. These reviews emphasize trust in his skills and appreciate his thorough explanations and care, with some even describing him as dedicated and compassionate.
However, a significant portion of reviews highlight serious concerns about his bedside manner, communication skills, and overall care. Multiple patients felt he was rude, dismissive, and rushed through appointments without listening to their concerns. There are also alarming reports of negligence and lack of follow-up care, including post-surgical complications, delayed prescriptions, and perceived indifference to patient suffering. Some describe him as unempathetic, and there are accusations of performing unnecessary or improperly handled procedures, leading to further complications. Overall, the reviews paint a picture of a highly skilled but controversial doctor, with patient experiences ranging from deep trust and gratitude to feelings of neglect and dissatisfaction.
