Dr. Ryan Baird Pickens, MD

Bad urologist. Does not help the patient. Gets unprofessional when reported.

Dr. Pickens is a excellent physician. Competent, knowledgeable and explains everything in detail.

I come from Newport Tennova Hospital to UT hospital by Ambulance I was very sick and Dr.Ryan Pickens took care of me I had a kidney stone he's a very kind doctor and a excellent doctor and I appreciate all he done for me Sincerly Freda Ray

I was going through chemotherapy and had to have a lithotripsy. Dr. Pickens was very knowledgeable, explained everything in great detail. Had excellent bedside manner, respectful and kind. I trust him completely with my kidney issues.

I have chronic stones that form frequently in great numbers and size. Pickens has performed three successful surgical procedures and we're working on identifying the cause. He speaks quickly with enthusiasm and needs to be reminded to slow down a bit and listen. This is not unusual for a surgeon. Remember, you are selecting a technically skilled artist, not a friend. While he could improve bedside behavior, his technical skills and knowledge are advanced and he is a gifted surgeon and teaching physician who is well-respected by hospital staff.

Over the years of my life I've seen probably hundreds of doctors for various issues, and as a whole, I find them arrogant and uncaring. Not so with Dr. Pickens, who takes the time to hear me out, consider my needs and wishes, and then move forward while keeping me informed. Definitely a keeper!

Dirty hands ... You will be in danger if you go to this doctor of death.

Very full of himself. Very inconsiderate.

Hides his mistakes at his patients expense

Hides like a child when he makes a mistake. Doesn't have the courage to address the situation when he fails his patient.He operated on me ,I had several leaks of body fluids following surgery. I was in the hospital 58 days and I saw him two times after surgery.He would not answer questions about what went wrong. He actually fired me as a patient for not paying my bill, fired me by certified mail. I didn't owe him any money ,He is not only a bad doctor,he is also lacks the character traits to be a good man. I am forever damaged by this, and I use the word man reluctantly. I have asked my church to pray for him that he become a better doctor and a better man. Sincerely mutulated

I was recommended to Dr Pickens due to an over in large prostate. Which required a expert to perform the surgery. I was near death. Congestive heart failure and my kidneys were shutting down He performe surgery. On me and got to back to normal. His after care is second to none. He is the best

Good Urologist willing to take on my difficult stone issues. Others had refused. Positive results and pleased with outcome.
