The reviews listed below were collected independently of Associated Medical Professionals through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
When we do actually see the Dr. we find the visit informative and encouraging . But the next appts are too far out and the apparently necessary pre tests and procedures are not streamlined at all. 6 months from diagnosis and treatment is much too long a wait. Especially when not expected

In all of my life, I have experienced some really great medical care for life’s bumps in the road, Some not so great also. My experience with AMP Urology has been stellar! All three Doctors Finklestein, Ruhodina, and Albala have been incredible and through the process Dr Albala who initially took my case and I have become personal friends. This office has a staff that exemplifies true caring and I believe this is nurtured by the medical leadership of this practice. I drive an hour and a half for my appointments and both the doctors.. and their staffs have been amazingly kind and considerate to fit me in and take care of me time after time. Thank you Doctors Albala, Finklestein, and Ruhodin, Jenn Albala, Mindy, Cindy, and the patient radiation team of Paula, Nandi, and Chris, couldn’t have rung the bell 🔔 yesterday without your incredible care and compassion and Dr Finklestein’s marksmanship 😊
I know I’m forgetting some others like Rachael…and some others thank you you are THE BEST!♥
