I saw Dr. Woodruff for two separate conditions, both of which my PCP felt were important enough to execute a referral to the urologist. Both times, Dr. W was arrogantly dismissive. The first time he told me I needed to go to a psychiatrist. The second time he told me he didn't know why I was there, as I didn't have any problem. Neither time did he ask me any questions about my condition, nor did he do an examination, nor did he run any tests. The man is so "brilliant" that he knows what is (or is not) wrong with you before you even come to his office! This man is dangerous. He is too arrogant to listen or to be curious about what he might not know. After leaving his office, I read a Mayo article that shows him to not know what he is talking about. Please, please, please do not risk your health (nor your dignity) by going to this man EVER. Oh, by the way, he also billed insurance for the two visits where he did NOT treat me, he fabricated notes in my medical report saying I said things that I did NOT say, and pushed me to return to his office for follow up appointments each visit (even though there was NOTHING for him to treat, per his wisdom). STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Alvi is a Rock Star! If you need prostate surgery done in the Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa area, Dr. Alvi is the urologist to see. I had urine retention and went to my Veterans Hospital ER, and had a Foley catheter inserted, After a month of pain, the VA urologist finally got a UDS test scheduled, the tech botched it. The urologist then did a cystoscopy, and his recommendation was to either live with a Foley catheter, and come in and change it out every 5 weeks. Or to insert a self catheter 4 times a day. I didn’t like either choice. I got online and did research the best urologists in Phoenix. Dr. Alvi came up on all of them with very high ratings. I made a consultation appointment with Dr. Alvi, and brought in all my VA data and records. He recommended 3 different options. We both thought the Greenlight Lazar would be best, and was scheduled for surgery at Banner. The pre-op, post-op team, and anesthesiologist were all very great. I did come out in recovery with a lot of pain, and needed to have painkillers, I was feeling better after 15 min. meds, and oxycodone were called into Walgreens, and my wife picked those up on the way home. When I left Banner Medical I had another Foley catheter inserted, and was scheduled to have it removed in 8 days. The oxy ran out after 3 days, With my Foley to be removed in a few days time, I though I’d tough it out without any more meds, but the spasms were horrible. I went to Banner ER at 3am. The next day Dr. Alvi came in, and it was like the calvary had arrived. He prescribed pain meds, a bladder irrigation that flushes your bladder with a sterile liquid, and had me scheduled to have the Foley taken out Mon. Morning. Monday came and the Foley was finally out. Leaving the lab and going down the hall I noticed awards, and plaques on the wall for Dr. Ali. I know I had made the right call. After 13 days after the last Foley removed, I feel like I’m 90% better. It my take months to get back to 100%, but to me Dr. Alvi changed my future for the better.

I set up a consultation for 10/24/23 at the Mesa office which got rescheduled to 10/27/23 which is when the Dr. would actually be at the office. I was then called a day before the appointment and told that it would be at the Scottsdale office. I told them i scheduled for the Mesa office and to cancel the Scottsdale appointment. I then received an email and text stating, "You have an appointment with us today at 9:10 am." We look forward to seeing you. Our office is located at: 1234 S Power Rd Suite 102 Mesa, AZ 85206" So i drive to the office at the appointment time and try to check in. They have no record of me. I show the receptionist the email and she says, "Oh, your appointment is in Scottsdale, the Dr. will be back at Mesa in the afternoon. Can you come back around 4 pm?" I tell her I have work and she asks if I can take a lunch to come to the afternoon appointment. No. I can't. Why would I be scheduled for an appointment at one office just for the Dr. to be at the other one? If even that can't be done correctly, I don't want to see how their practice runs. I'll be looking for another practice to suit my needs.

Dr. Woodruff is that rare combination in physicians: outstanding technically, with a compassionate listening ability. His surgical treatment of my bladder cancer, and subsequent follow-up has saved my life to be specific.

Dr. Alvi is GREAT and is very patient and understanding! I would give him 5 stars! The reason of 1 star is for his assistants! They are disorganized and DO NOT return calls! I was left a voicemail by Katie saying we have your results, please call us back. I called within an hour and NO ONE picked up. Left VM for front desk. I got a text from CVS stating meds ready for pick per Dr Alvi. Picked them up and put them away. Called Stephanie 3 times, left message to ask what is medication for and what results!?! NEVER returned call! Now one week later I was scheduled for a URO. Stephanie called me twice in February to reschedule, machine not working. Today went there for scheduled appt. the girl up front went back and told her I was here. Told me Stephanie said it’s still not working and can you come back next Monday? And the results were you still have a UTI! Take the pills! She didn’t have the courtesy to come up front and talk to me. A week wasted and not taking the medication! Definitely NOT going back for URO!
