"I would NOT RECOMMEND Dr. Mark Walterskirchen to anyone. My experiences with him make it seem that he is more interested in himself than providing quality care to his patients. I am an established patient with Dr. Walterskirchen, and over the course of 2-1/2 years I have had several negative experiences with him and with another PA who worked with him. Each time I voiced my concerns so those issues could be addressed and corrected as needed. This last summer,. I began experiencing gross hematuria - visible blood clots and blood in my urine almost daily - (some clots quite large - a very concerning issue), so I requested an appointment. His office called back right away to set up the appointment, but I was told that earliest he could see me was nearly 3 months out. That was totally unacceptable to me considering the circumstances. I felt that I was being put off due to voicing my concerns in the past. I called another urologist and was able to get in as a new patient in less than 3 weeks, and arrangements were made to perform all the necessary diagnostics on the first visit and determine a course of treatment. This experience stands in stark contrast with the "service" provided by Dr. Walterskirchen"

"Dr. Woolsey is the best doctor I have, and I see several. Dr. Woolsey listens to you, asks clarifying questions, and shows respect. He did my surgery and all aftercare involved. He helped me with the pain and the fear involved in my care. I can't say anything bad about Dr. Woolsey or his staff. "
