David King's Online Review Report Card

Dr is great, friendly staff. Would recommend.

This update is because I believe it important to explain why I understand what happened was not a normal complication. I pulled the end of a dissolving stitch on the outside of my body, and felt a rip inside where the cyst was.I blamed myself for not being careful enough. I was embarrassed and waited for it to heal hoping that would be the end of it. When problems continued I went to another Urologist for help.Some time later I learned something shocking; I was told by a Urologist that what I experienced was impossible, because the stitching on the outside is never connected to the stitching on the inside. This is when I understood this was not a normal complication, and because the stitching dissolved there is no way I can know exactly how this happened, even if my experience was in my opinion unmistakable.Later another Urologist told me something more troubling; In this procedure there are not one but several layers cut through, which are all stitched separately and never connected, and the most that could have possibly happened was a superficial skin tear. I was told it's never done any other way.I no longer blame myself and believe this could have happened to anyone by accident. That stitch was like a rusty wire sticking out.Treating the post trauma pain as a nerve complication led to some improvements. However in no way do I believe the organs being damaged has nothing at all to do with any problems that began only after the surgery.

Went to Dr. King for vasectomy and was very pleased with the experience. Anxiety leading up to the procedure is without a doubt the worst part of the whole thing, but Dr. King's option for Valium and/or Midazolam pre-op resulted in a very relaxed experience once the procedure started. I felt no pain or discomfort during, and recovery has so far has been astonishingly pain/discomfort-free without even OTC drugs needed, which I'd assume is a testament to Dr. King's expert skill.

Office Staff is the ABSOLUTE WORST. Rude. Inconsiderate. Short and Mean. It's uncalled for.

I am an M.D. with Prostate Cancer and when my long-time Urologist retired, he highly recommended Dr. King in Los Gatos. I have been seeing Dr. King now for over 10 yrs. and can verify that he is a very skilled, up-to-date, and compassionate physician. His staff has always been professional, kind, and knowledgeable. They have been extremely helpful in clarifying complex information, scheduling, lab follow-up, and providing assistance for prescription drug coverage and reimbursement. Highly recommended!

I wish to update my review to especially thank Dr. King's front office manager, Susie, for her help. As a continuation of my last review, we encountered a terrible experience with my CT scan provider, SimonMed. This turned further into an insurance claim issue because SimonMed tried to process without using my insurance. Susie literally stayed with me on a 2-hour phone call, in which we had to sail through my insurance companies and SimonMed to arrive at the truth that SimonMed neglected to claim with my insurance even with insurance info on hand. Susie was relentless in advocating for her patient and my patient rights. Needless to say, I am super thankful for her kind help and dedication to her patients. Without Susie, we could not have clarified the whole mess caused by the imaging provider with my insurance company. So not only does Dr. King provide great care, his front office manager, Susie, will take care of you when it comes time for insurance issues. Thanks again Susie!

I want to say a huge thank you to Dr King and his staff, Suzie and Rea. 5 stars isn't enough. Dr King has been treating my bladder cancer for several years and has seen me through multiple operations. His care has been excellent and he's very involved with my case. Whether it's cystoscopies, bcg treatments, or operations Dr King is with you every step of the way. I recently moved out of state (Oregon) but still travel back to Calif just to continue with Dr King. I saw one of the top urologists in the Medford Oregon area, part of the Providence Hospital programs, and did not recive anywhere near the level of care or involvment that Dr King provides. The Oregon urologist spent a total of 15 minutes with me and quickly handed me off to her staff. I was treated with BCG treatments in Oregon for 6 weeks and never saw the urologist. With Dr King he is personally involved with my treatments. He and his staff are great people and you really feel like they care about you.

My experience with Dr. King is so far good. He promptly replied to my queries regarding my concerns and also helped provide additional insights on future preventative measures needed to maintain my health. After my visit, I did experience difficulties for them to receive my CT scan results, which mainly attributed to my CT scan lab provider. However, in this case, I do still think there could also be potential improvements in terms of the follow-up process between the doctor's front office and the lab to help enable the customer's experience to be better overall. For me, I had to briefly be the middle man for some time before Dr. King helped me resolve directly, which I truly appreciated. I do think Dr. King provides great expertise and help to his patient in his specialty area and would recommend him as a good doctor.

My search for the right urologist for my husband is finally over. Dr. King and his staff were all awesome.I highly recommend Dr King!

My husband went to Dr. King for prostrate problems. Dr. King was great!! Problem solved...he is a very caring individual. Friendly office staff.
