Dr. Wagaskar listened to me. He did not rush me. He explained how we would proceed to arrive at a more complete diagnosis. He called me 2 days later with more partial assessment of tests and instructions for medicine and to make an appointment for ultra sound. So far I am very pleased with all the detail, thoroughness and communication.
Verified patient
He’s the best. Dr Wagaskar actually did a lot of tests and took me seriously. No other urologist bothered to actually investigate the cause of my symptoms, they just offered a circumcision. With Dr Wagaskar, I feel like I have a chance at a cure without surgery. Highly recommend!
Dr. Wagaskar is one of the best doctors I've ever seen. He is super patient, and listen to what you have to say. He doesn't rush the office visit, and always make sure you understand what he is explaining. He even calls to inform test results. I really appreciate his knowledge and care!
Virtual little to no wait time. Dr is a great listener. Great bedside manner and acknowledged my concerns and answered my questions. Offered preventative measures that could control, outlined his escalating approach of step by step, with the scope covering everything from simple causes & remedies to potential worst case scenarios and completely. Highly recommend

I was seen quickly, and the doctor was professional, friendly, and really seemed liked he cared about my health issue and wanted to get it resolved. I am not sure if my problem is resolved may need more appointments. I am currently taking prescription medication, so I’m not sure the diagnosis will fix my issue, so it is a wait and see.
Verified patient
Can’t say enough good things about Dr Wagaskar. He is very thorough, comes up with a solid action plan and definitely cares. He’s also very accessible which is rare nowadays.
Dr. Wagaskar has been excellent to work with. He spent ample time listening to me and going over my symptoms. He made sure that I understood all details of the treatment. He remained in frequent communication with me throughout the entire process. I highly recommend visiting Dr. Wagaskar if you can.
