Mark T Edney's Online Review Report Card

My experience with Dr Edney was poor. I asked for an appointment to discuss a recommended prostate biopsy. This appointment was fine but I did not like the biopsy process that happened about 2 months later. I received no recomendations to take OTC pain killers prior to the biopsy. Prior to the biopsy, Dr Edney gave me 3 injections of lidocaine, as a local pain killer, near the site of the biopsy. The lidocaine burned like fire. After the biopsy, I was not given any presriptions for pain killers. The pain after the biopsy lasted over 4 days. I left three mesages at Dr Edney's office the day after the biopsy, requesting a prescription for a pain killer. None of my phone messages were returned. I feel that Dr Edney and the staff of the Salisbury Office of Chesapeake Urology did not show care, concern or empathy for me as a patient. I will go to a different Urologist for future treatments.

Dr. Edney refused to listen to my comments regarding the post-operative care I received following a lithotripsy procedure (none, and I ended up in the Emergency room twice). He said, "I don't have all afternoon to listen to my patients' complaints." And then, he stood up, turned his back on me, and walked out the office door. Not good medicine, unprofessional behavior. I wondered if he was a real doctor.

Dr Edney saved my life. I had a kidney stone that had positioned itself so that my kidney could not function. I was very thankful to see that my Dr, Dr Edney, was the Dr on call at the hospital that day. He performed emergency surgery that day and was very compassionate and kind.

I had a prostate biopsy done by Dr. Edney, Asked how long for results, he said 10 days. I told him I was going out of town, so 10 days was great, because I was taking a week off to go skiing. Three days later Dr. Edney calls my cell phone to tell me the results were in early. I was 300 miles away, so I said to him can I get the results now. He said no, I asked if it was a HIPPA issue, he said no, I needed to go to his office to hear the results. Now I am thinking I have Prostate cancer, my mind was racing. I had to know, so I cut my vacation short and drove 6 hours to get home and make an appointment. I did not have cancer, what a crappy thing to do, create fear, he knew I was out of town. Why call and say the results are in early, if he knew there was nothing to worry me. I would not let him evacuate my dogs anal glans. He has no bed side manner or consideration what so ever.

I was very impressed with Dr. Edney. He gave me plenty of time to tell him my symptoms and issues, and he really listened. He made the experience as good as it could possibly be. I would recommend him highly to anyone.

Told me to call at anytime if I had questions about is prescription but has not replied after 4 phone calls. I am very disappointed in his lack of consideration..

I went to this doctor to have a kidney stone crushed. He was one of the most self absorbed Doctors I have every seen and that is saying something since I had work at Johns Hopkins with Doctor who are the top in their field. After 4 visits he still know nothing about me .

I was a patient of Dr. Edney and Peninsula Urology for approximately 5 years. I have a spinal cord disorder which has caused problems which require a competent urologist. I have seen many, many doctors, survived surgeries and years of physical therapy to be able to walk. But never have I felt less cared about than the doctors and staff at this office. Dr. Edney does not take the time to listen or explain the procedures they perform, some being very invasive. On multiple occasions I was sent

I was a patient of Dr. Edney and Peninsula Urology for approximately 5 years. I have a spinal cord disorder which has caused problems which require a competent urologist. I have seen many, many doctors, survived surgeries and years of physical therapy to be able to walk. But never have I felt less cared about than the doctors and staff at this office. Dr. Edney does not take the time to listen or explain the procedures they perform, some being very invasive. On multiple occasions I was sent home without instructions or any idea what to expect from the treatment. When I called with questions or concerns during normal office hours, I was told to go to the hospital or my primary care doctor. Prior to my last visit, I discovered I had a kidney stone. Seemingly a very simple problem for a urologist. However, Dr. Edney informed me to go to my primary care doctor for treatment. And charged me for the visit. The only reason I continued seeing this doctor for so long is that they are the only urology practice in Salisbury. I have since gone across the bridge and received amazing care at both Chesapeake Urology and Johns Hopkins. I wish I had googled Dr. Edney and noticed his past malpractice lawsuits sooner, but am glad I didn't allow them to do any major surgeries. I didn't want to write this review, but after speaking to Laurie today who would not provide me with a copy of my file without a fee, I just feel others should know.

I can't tell you how he was with me. I made the appointment with Dr. Edney and was seen by a PA instead. i wanted to get a bladder sling; like many women with multiple pregnancies, my bladder dropped and I was tired of peeing myself. She took a sterile sample and did an internal (something my gynecologist had already done before she referred me). The bill came in for nearly $700. When I called the office to complain-wouldn't it be a good idea to let people know when they come in for an initial consult that it could run this high? I was told that it all depends on what tests are run. I know my gynecologist never charged me close to this. And my insurance wouldn't pay more than what they thought was reasonable and customary: $50. I think this office is a huge rip-off. I will say,though, that my husband saw Dr. Edney for a prostate problem that turned out to be cancer, and the doctor was great about answering questions for both us; I didn't feel rushed at all on that visit.
