I went to Dr. Ku twice with testicular pain after being referred by my university doctor. Instead of listening to symptoms or anything he took the initial hypothesis of my university doctor (not a urologist) and prescribed me 14 days of antibiotics. The pain did not go away, and at a second visit I asked for ultrasound or x-ray which he denied and without further checks prescribed me a different type of antibiotics. When I left he even stated that if the pain would not go away I would not have to come again but we could arrange an alternative prescription via phone. After this, I saw another doctor whom it took 5 minutes to diagnose that I have a hernia. Worst experience of a doctor that I ever had.
