I am very happy with Dr Shindel. He listens very well and has gone above and beyond to help watching out for my health care. He has helped me with my health condition.

Dr. Alan Shindel is excellent, kind, knowledgeable, and wonderful by listening carefully & addressing concerns with ordering CT scan & prescribing medication: reduce pain.

Dr. Alan Shindel was outstanding, very skilled, proactive regarding my issues, addressed my concerns, did a full exam and even went further with an ultrasound to determine If I had any bladder elimination issues and also fully addressed my concerned about the testicular cyst, which was the initial problem. He reviewed the ultrasound and explained everything in layman's terms. He also was very cordial and had a great bedside manner. Really liked him and will follow up if needed as he instructed.

Professional, efficient, listened well, was clear about options. Very satisfied with the care I received

I had a great time

Dr Schindel was excellent, and I would recommend him to anyone. Knowledgeable, helpful, and kind.

Dr. Shindale was courteous and professional. I felt comfortable communicating with him.

Dr. Shindel made me feel very comfortable and explained options about my condition. He also contacted the surgeon he recommended and paved the way for scheduling my operation. He is wonderful.

Dr. Shindel was great

Dr. Shindel provided excellent service

It is unfortunate that I have an unexpected result of my procedure. I still trust Dr. Schindel and believe he is providing the best care possible. He is an excellent communicator and listens very well.

Again he was excellent.

Dr Shindel has been a great help to me on many issues especially a hernia diagnosis and prostate issues

All excellent. Kind and thorough doctor

Dr. Shindell was amazing; he kept a gently conversational tone during the procedure to keep my mind off what he was doing. Checked in at regular intervals to let me know I would feel a pinch and was thorough in his explanations. Highly recommend this provider.

Appears to be a terrific team

Lovely people all around. UCSF is lucky to have Dr. Shindel and his team. Dr. Shindel is an excellent urologist whose manner makes it possible to address even the most difficult to discuss subject matter. Abigail, the nurse for my procedure, was also amazingly thoughtful and attentive.

I would give a higher rating if I could

Excellent Dr. With excellent patient skills

Dr. Schindel is a great listener and is very helpful

Referred by another UCSF urologist...great choice. New urologist was kind, considerate and obviously is highly skilled. I am a most fortunate patient.

Dr. Shindel fit me in, but I did not feel he rushed through our appointment. He put in post visit instructions, orders for lab work, and ultrasound timely, which were all very helpful for the progress of my care.

Couldn't ask for a better experience. Thank you!

Dr. Shindel explained things to me very clearly.

Follow up to the visit is unclear even at this point which is several days and requests after the appointment

Can't imagine a better provider for this than Dr. Shindel. You made the experience the best it could be.

Satisfied with doctor.

Dr. Shindel was outstanding, showing empathy and compassion. He listened to me and provided useful feedback to my health issues and questions.

He listened well and explained possible treatment approaches and possible side effects in a clear manner.

Overall, excellent experience for my first-time encounter with this doctor. One very minor observation: Apparently after 18 minutes into our video visit, the doctor said he had another patient waiting, implying we had to wind things up pretty quickly. ( I guess the allotted time slot is 15 minutes.). I really like this doctor overall and appreciate and need his expertise, so to be more efficient I will have all my questions and comments written down before my next visit and talk really fast.

This was the first time I received detailed information about the probable history and development of my condition, what changes in my diet may help mitigate my issue and if unresolved then how serious medication will affect my overall health in not a positive way.

The Dr. Was very good at taking care of all my concerns.

Sensitive to my concerns; helped me sort out snd prioritize my issue

Dr. Shindel is personable and has an excellent bedside manner. He offered me ample opportunities to ask questions and a safe space to discuss my concerns.

Was a five minute appointment that could have been an email

The Dr Was very professional.

Professional, thorough, good manners.

He listens, explains and clearly is interested in my questions and concerns.

Provider seemed not very interested in me; seemed to just be trying to convey the facts and to get the meeting over.

Written post op instructions weren't given to me.

I received a very thorough examination and felt my dr was informative and sincere in wanting to help with my problem

Excellent care provider.

Very happy with the provider. Put all concerns at ease and made the procedure go by quickly and painlessly.

The Care Provider was great!

Felt very positive about the meeting and the doctor.
