I was fortunate enough to start with Dr. David about 35 years ago. Not only is his medical care incredible but he also has what they call great bedside manner. Whether you are in the hospital or in his office, he takes the time to explain to you your medical condition plus he make you feel like you are the only patient in his office! I’m 81 years old and I’ve had my challenges and Dr. David has rescued me many times over the years! I am very lucky to be under his care.

I went to see Dr David for a second opinion after seeing several doctors who were not able to diagnose the cause of my symptoms. After describing my symptoms, Dr David immediately diagnosed the cause of my symptoms. After spending a lot of time listening to my symptoms , he took a lot of time explaining what the problem was, what treatment I needed, and relieved my anxiety and concerns. I was so impressed with his concern and knowledge l requested that he take me on as a patient. I wished I had come to see him earlier anI would have no hesitation to recommending to anyone having any urological Symptoms

Dr. David has consistently treated both my prostate and that of my mentally challenged brother with the best and latest treatments.

Great sense of humor and takes the time to answer all questions and explain in detail the issues and treatments. Could not recommend more highly.
