Dr. James Louis Woolley, MD

Had a surgery performed on me that was totally 100% unnecessary This doctor is behind The Times

He is. A great doctor he is very nice

Informative, and that made me relax about my condition.

I had the unfortunate need of a this doctor at St. Helena Hospital, as I had a kidney stone. That is why I meet him. He could not remove it . He was too incompetent to take out a stone, but got a Stint by it. 2nd, I just had 2 Stints put in one of my Arteries 3 weeks before. He was aware of this fact, as it as done at that hospital, by a doctor he knew. My Cardiologist. He took me off ALL my blood thinner and anti clotting agents for the Stints, without asking my Cardiologist. 3 days later I had my first Heart Attack and my second was 7 days later. All because this man has an ego and is so so arrogant. It is not to be believed. I now have Congestive Heart Failure, a Pacemaker and lost years off my life due to him. All because he did not do a simple Consult with my cardiologist. Who would have told him to put a Heart Monitor on me, if he felt he had to take me off all my blood medications, for bleeding from the stint rubbing on the stone. IF? She had even agreed with him in the first place. But, HE NEVER ASKED. How INCOMPETENT, do you have to be, to realize that you need to talk to the cardiologist in this situation. Run don't walk away from this Doctor.

Great professional, explains things well

Upon reporting symptoms I later learned were consistent with prostate cancer, Dr. Woolley diagnosed my 'problem' as related to diabetes. He performed DRE but did not order PSA as my prostate was smooth and small. Three months later I am hospitalized, with diagnosis of advanced metastatic prostate cancer. It doesn't happen overnight. Dr. Woolley refuted the diagnosis, claiming it was impossible until he had a radiologist review enhanced CT.
