BEST LISTENER EVER

by Leora D at Citysearch

My name is Leora I am 57 years old and have been going to the doctor for 6 months for the same problem. I have another appointment so I go and meet Brian Golden. What a great guy he really listened to me and I think he got it right. He gave me a few samples of a pill. I took one and it seams that it has already helped. I cant say enough about him. He is my hero!

Best Doctor EVER!

by memeredlc at Citysearch

My name is Debbie, and I am a 56 year old grandmother. When I had severe abdominal pains recently and ended up in the Hospital, Brian Golden was my doctor. I was amazed to discover that he honestly cares about each of his patients, and goes above and beyond the basic care I’ve come to expect from doctors. It was obvious that he listened and worked with me in choosing a treatment plan. He explained my options, told me what he would recommend in my case and answered my questions in easy to understand terms. He was very calm and reassuring, and I trusted him immediately.

After discussing the pros and cons of each procedure, we decided to take the least invasive plan. Dr. Golden threaded a laser up to my kidney and chipped away at the huge kidney stone. (I went in for outpatient surgery.) EVERYONE involved came in to talk to me. It was like a meet and greet. When it was time for my surgery, I knew everyone in the room and felt the respect and compassion. While I was waking up, I could hear the nurse talking to me, gently encouraging me. Over the last few weeks, I have had a stent from kidney to my bladder. It has only caused minor discomfort, but is necessary until the lithotripsy procedure to hopefully shatter the rest of the stone. I am extremely satisfied with Dr. Golden and highly recommend him to ANYONE needing a urologist.

Please do your best to get through the terrible office staff. Dr. Golden’s bedside manner and knowledge are amazing and well worth it. I encourage everyone to tell the office manager about any experiences with the horrible front office staff. The doctors in this office should not have to apologize for the staff’s sloppy indifference. All of those doctors deserve a lot more respect and assistants of much higher quality.

Dr. Golden Feedback

by Bryan Sharp at Citysearch

I am writing this testimonial because I feel strongly about the care that I received from Dr. Golden. I do not normally take the time to express my recommendations, I feel and have always felt that only exceptional service should be acknowledged and that is why I am writing this now. Being diagnosed with cancer is an extremely scary and emotional time, for both me and my family. The care, treatment and eventual outcome of the cancer has the ability to consume your every waking thought. Dr. Golden, from the initial consult, was professional, warm, caring and in touch with the mental anguish that I was obsessing about. He treated me and my wife with respect and consideration while helping us through this challenging time in our lives. It goes without saying that he is an extremely skilled surgeon; I exceeded all of the standard milestones of recovery and much to Dr. Golden’s dismay and eventual reprimand, even played softball two weeks after leaving the hospital. I can only express my deepest appreciation for all that he did for me and whole heartedly would recommend him to family and friends alike.

• Pros: Warm and caring professional person
• Cons: None

Excellent Doctor

by Kendra G at Citysearch

Dr. Brian Golden is a great surgeon. At the age of 38 yrs old I was worried about having bladder surgery to correct my stress incontinence. I could not jump, run, sneeze, or cough without wearing a pad. I went years trying to find the right Doctor. I read all of Dr. Goldens reviews and decided to make an appointment.

Dr. Golden set me up for bladder surgery. The surgery went flawlessly! Now I can run, play, jump, sneeze, and cough without worrying about my bladder or wearing a pad. No more stress incontinence. Thank you for giving me my life back.

I would highly recommend Dr. Golden to anyone…

• Pros: Friendly, Honest, Knowlegeable
• Cons: None

Excellent Surgeon

by KimmieN at Citysearch

Dr. Brian Golden is a fabulous surgeon! My husband was diagnosed with kidney cancer in September 2009. He was only 41, and in seemingly excellent health (he’s an ex-pro-volleyball player) when he started urinating blood. Dr. Golden was the specialist called in to care for my husband. After studying all x-rays and scans, he explained everything to us in detail…all pros and cons…all worst and best case scenarios. He was straight forward, which was comfort in our situation. He needed to perform surgery and remove the mass.

My mother has had three types of cancer over the last 15 years, and she only trusts Mayo Clinic in Arizona. Being we lived in Nevada, going there to have this procedure done wasn’t out of the question. I did extensive research on Dr. Golden to weigh our options, and was confident in my findings. Dr. Golden is a certified specialist, and an expert using the Divinci machine, which leaves the smallest scar possible, meaning less damage and a faster recovery time.

The surgery went flawlessly! The whole kidney was removed, and my husband’s recovery was rapid.

I would highly recommend Dr. Golden to anyone…and when you’re shocked, scared, worried, and every other emotion that you experience during such a traumatic diagnosis, hopefully this testimony will offer you some sort of comfort, knowing you’re in such knowledgeable skilled hands.

• Pros: Knowlegeable, Friendly, Honest
• Cons: None
