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.

Great experience with Dr Shindel. He was friendly and professional, made good conversation and explained what he was doing, made sure I understood what I needed to do, and overall was very reassuring. The procedure itself went well and I felt comfortable that I was getting high quality treatment.

Dr. Shindel is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

In a friendly manner, Dr. Shindel quickly and succinctly informed me of a wide range of treatment options. He appeared amazingly Informed and In sync with my concerns. From my perspective, he Is a role model clinical practioner and professor.

Excellent doctorvery thorough and showed empathy.

Dr. Shindell is simply top notch. I came away impressed and feeling hopeful improvements could be made on my urological issues.

Best possible, I feel .

Dr. Shindel has been a wealth of knowledge, professional and personable. Always generous with our time.

He made me very comfortable

Excellent communicator. Took our specific circumstances into account and created appropriate care plan.

Dr shindel provided the advice I expected from an excellent physician

So happy with the procedure and aftermath

My situation although not life threatening is pain centric , and it's complicated!

Good

Dr Shindel listens when I talk and stays focused on the subject.

Great experience from Dr. Shindel

I had been waiting for this appointment for a while, and was expecting to discuss my upcoming prostate biopsy, since this is the only appointment I had with your office before that appointment. I did a lot of research and had a bunch of questions, and was told that I would need to speak to the surgeon who will do the biopsy (who turned out to be different to the one that was mentioned). I felt rushed (had less than 20 minutes), the provider knew next to nothing about my case, and had not read the results of the MRI that was pertinent to my biopsy, nor had he responded to an email that was sent by my colorectal surgeon a week before. If he wasn't the appropriate person for me to speak to, your office should have set up the appointment with someone else.

I have experienced, for the first time (after several years of this same procedure but from a different provider) deep bruising, swelling, and a lot of pain for more than one week since having undergone the treatment.

Wow he was really good at his job

Excellent experience

Dr. Shindel is an A++ doctor - I feel lucky to have him.

Consummate professional-caring, listen, responsive, instructive, thorough. In a nutshell, truly outstanding.

IM HAPPY...:)

Dr. Spindel was phenomenal.

A little surprised procedure wasn't carried out under ultrasound although perhaps the provider was familiar/experienced enough that there was no additional benefit in using it.

Most certainly would recommend Dr. shindel to others. Clearly explained my situation, options, and his recommendations.

I wished I'd had more examination.

100% would recommend this care provider to all my friends and family for this procedure

I'm very pleased with the care provided by the doctor. I cannot recommend that anyone else try to see him though, because the procedure for making an appointment is so unfathomably awful. If there's ever an opportunity to avoid UCSF for my health care needs I will take it, and recommend others do the same.

Provider expressed support for my vegan diet. That was much appreciated.

After visit notes indicate "Labs ordered today" and "Complete as directed", but I can't see any directions

I am very glad my doctor's visit was with Dr Schindel -- he is the first doctor I see who knows about the condition I suffer from. He is very knowledgeable and showed great empathy toward my problems.

Excellent service

Very positive experience

The doctor was very helpful. I am a M.D and would rate this doctor at the top of a list...he listened, he answered questions clearly, and I recommend him highy.

Dr. Shindell clearly outlined his role in addressing my concerns AS WELL as referenced other allied health care providers with whom I could choose to consult.

Will highly recommend this care provider to my PCP

He was very clear and concise in explaining the possibilities and my options.

Good experience

UCSF provides excellent care

Answered my concerns suggested future proceedings

Dr. Shindel is terrific: listens to concerns, expains medical matters thoroughly in an easy-to-comprehend way, clearly knows his field deeply, and is kind.

No issues

Very calm, straightforward, and clear.

Very Good Experience and conducted professionally. Staff was very courteous.

Good

Care provider was very specific in replying to my questions and appeared to be very knowledgeable and trustworthy

The doctor explained things very well to me

I don't make recommendations

No one I know is seeking healthcare.
