Dr. Anthony Saracino, MD

Dr Saracino and Prody really know their stuff. In 2018 had IPP surgery. Unfortunately my soft tissue caused severe distal migration. Went home partially inflated and about 3 inches short. Then as soon as I deflated had severe distal curving. Had to have my pump surgically moved that Dec by another surgeon. Took 9 months VED but finally recovered lost length. Very rocky start but stellar finish. Thanks guys! Job well done.!!!

Dr saracino asked me a question & before I even answered he said I needed a test. He left room. I was waiting. Nurse came in & said front desk will schedule. I said doctor said I needed a test. Yes - front desk will schedule. I thought doctor left room to get test equipment & chaperone. No - he was done. No conversation. No exam was performed. Didn’t even use stethoscope to check if I was breathing. Didn’t even allow me to answer his question or permit me to express my concerns. I definitely don’t need a new patient office consultation (2 minutes) for MD to say I need a test. Highway robbery. $289 billed to health insurance company. Did not return. Did not undergo tests. Sought care elsewhere.

I was quite displeased with my visit. First, as a new patient I had to fill out many forms (which is normal). I am quite careful regarding anything I sign; on one of the forms there were several acronyms I didn’t recognize. So I ask the receptionist who gave me the forms what they meant. She said: “don’t worry about them, just answer the questions”. Wrong answer. She had no idea what the acronyms represented nor did anyone else in the office to include a nurse. Bad start. I was referred to this doctor for BPH. When I saw him he was quite friendly. But after exam, he said I need to have a test, the checkout desk would set it up, then out he went. I didn’t have a chance to ask other questions I asked. When waiting for checkout I saw him in the hall so I stopped him for a question. He answered it in the open and quite loudly where others could hear. I was mortified. After finishing with the answer he immediately turned and went on to the next patient. So at checkout, the attendant said she’ll set up all the appointments. I asked for what given that the doctor said I needed “a test”. She said, he ordered four tests. Again, I’m mortified because he never mentioned any additional tests (some of which are a bit invasive). I get home, do some research and wonder what in the world do these tests have to do with the reason I came to this urologist. So I decide to seek a second opinion. My general doctor (who did not refer me to Saracino) told me what I thought: the additional tests aren’t usually used for the condition I have. I’m displeased. First, staff weren’t knowledgeable. Second, the doctor is in a rush to get to the next patient. Third, the doctor is not up front regarding treatment. Fourth, the doctor clearly doesn’t include you (the patient) in planning your own care. Fifth, I thought it was very rude for him to speak loudly of my condition in a hallway. If you want to be considered and involved in your own care, this doctor isn’t the one to go to in my opinion. If you are seeing him and you have appointments upon appointments and tests upon tests, make him explain exactly what’s going on. I cancelled all my appointments and will not return.

Over years of visits, I find Dr. Saracino to be short with details and in a rush to get to the next patient. After an ER kidney stone and TERP stay, I found him increasingly irritating. After a second TERP recommendation, I forced a session to finally get to the bottom of what was going on and why. Looking for another Dr.

Poor urological management, Large hematoma for a minor hydrocele within 24 hours, after a dramatic large operation. Bleeders may have loosened or not tied. It was drained after 30 days( in fear of 30 day red flag, post op complication.) Fentanyl was ordered but I refused. Again another Hematoma in 48 hours post draining. Offered another open drain, I refused and asked for another opinion, useless as opinion is not different. Drain site became infected causing further hospitalization. Dr. Saracino wanted to enter my room to apologize, prefer to send him away offering another operation. Infection cleared up after heavy IV antibiotics for 6 days. Willing to forget everything including log friendship. Glad I got better and not think about calling other services.

Doctor Saracino and Doctor Prody are both 5 star plus surgeons! Best healing in my support group from all over the world. I was 6.5" the night before surgery and now have a very proud 5 7/8". Only lost 5/8"! Much better than the 1 inch plus standard industry average. Very very pleased. Thank you for making me whole again!!!!

No. bed side manner at all.His office is too busy. Will not go back to him.

Not a good experience. i would not recommend to anyone.

Highly inattentive to patient's needs.

Dr. Saracino is an excellent Urologist that was my doctor for the last 10 years and unfortunately today I lost him because of our wonderful bullcrap healthcare in this country. He has taken excellent care of me over the years and I appreciated his excellent diagnosis and resulting fixes. You cannot go wrong with this great doctor.

Competent and compassionate. His staff is equally as great.

His notes do not agree with what we discussed. He failed to discuss tests with me. His office staff is polite but very slow to follow up. I felt be did not see me as a patient but as a dollar sign.

My appointment was canceled 4 times, twice with less than an hours notice. Finally, I was told he was again at the ER while I was in his waiting room at 11am. We were told he'd return at 1pm - he arrived at 1:30, then we were told he would be returning to the ER for a 3pm surgery. His waiting room was full, so he was certainly going to walk out on most of these people again after they had waited many hours. This man has no business running a private practice! He's committed to the ER, and too busy for private patients.

Absolutely marvelous physician and surgeon!

Amazing Doctor and staff. I went in with a huge kidney stone and needed treatment as soon as possible. Being that I don't have insurance I was limited as to what I could pay. Dr. Saracino'S Office Manager, Kandis, went out her way to get me the best possible price to include anesthesia and it worked out great. I then ended up having an additional surgery per Dr. Saracino's advise. He gave me an excellent price and even went out of his way to contact the CFO at the hospital to make sure I got an affordable price. Dr. Saracino again have me an excellent price for his services and both procedures included my follow up appointments. He has an amazing office manager. This is one office I was very pleased with. I will spread the wotd.

Good Doctor, have known him for over fifteen years. Sometimes overbooked, but he does his best to help the patient and address any issues.

A busy and efficient Dr but easy to talk to (try to figure out your questions ahead of time) and (if you check his credentials) an extremely talented and well respected within his profession. In my case, all of these "complaints" proved not so true and are completely overwhelmed by the man's competence.

On one visit, I was in the office 4 hours. That was unusual, and during that visit I had 2 tests done. He is kind, thorough and highly recommended by his peers. Plus, the staff is wonderful and his office is well-run. I think he is worth the wait.

AWESOME AND FUN DOC!

Dr. Saracino is very busy and there are a lot of patients waiting. I would be concerned if the waiting room was empty. The office staff and nurses are very nice and ease any anxieties. Dr. Saracino is upfront and explains condition. I feel I am being well taken care of.
