David Greenwell's Online Review Report Card

Friendly office quick appointments.

Bad attitude. Could be kinder to sick patients and more caring. Unwilling to check to see if culture results were in that he should have had access to as he works in the same group as my doctor. Called Dr. Greenwell as the on-call doctor. My fever rose to 102.8 at 10:13 pm Sunday from a urinary tract infection, which was why I was calling on-call doctor at 10:16 pm, and I had been having bad back pain all weekend. Dr. Greenwell called back at 10:54 pm and said he could have helped if I had called earlier or if I could find a 24-hour pharmacy open... but he would not even know what medicine to prescribe without the results of the culture. I had explained to him that the urine culture had been sent in on Tuesday. Urine culture results usually only take 3-4 days to process I thought. Dr. Greenwell told me to go to the ER.

Would not recommend for a Vasectomy. Cost me over $5k. Had to go back to hospital worst pain I’ve ever experienced X10. I just received another $1,200 bill 18 months after botched surgery. I’d recommend Richard Chop in Austin I’ve heard much better reviews on him.

Did an incredible job replacing 5 month old catheter at Seton Wilco ER for my 85yr old dad. He was professional, courteous and personable.

My Dad is in surgery this Am at Seton Burnet Hospital. He had prostate cancer about 12 years ago and apparently one of the clips has migrated to his ureter and near his bladder. He is being treated by Dr David Greenwell of Urology Austin. The First thing he said when he came in the room "Who called my office asking about the cyst on his kidney? I don't do laparoscopic". Immediate confusion came over us because when my mom took my dad into the office she was told that he would be going in laparoscopically and if he could not get it he would make an incision. I have worked in the medical field for nearly 20 years and been around a lot of physicians and surgeons of all specialties. I can say with absolute certainty that his guy is by far this biggest jerk I have ever encountered. The Nurse Anesthetist and another nurse said: "well a lot of people confuse the scope with a laparoscopic procedure". My mom was a trauma and ICU nurse for 30+ years so there was no misunderstanding on her part. When we were in pre-op the staff asked if we had questions about the surgery and we asked the nurses how it would be done because the procedure was coded as kidney stones which is incorrect and Dr Greenwell said he would not drain the cyst on his kidney because he does not do laparoscopy. The nurses informed us Dr Greenwell would be using a scope. We said that is not what the Dr conveyed about the procedure during the office visit. We asked for them to go get Dr Greenwell. He came in and we asked him how the procedure was going to be done. He said in the most condescending tone "I'm sorry I don't have too many patients confused about this procedure". He said "I never told you it would be done laparoscopically". There was confusion in pre-op on the possible antibiotic the Dr ordered interfering with my father's current medication. As Dr Greenwell was talking down to us like we are idiots the nurse anesthetist said "hey I didn't start this they did". They put medication in his IV to relax him and as we were discussing the confusion of the procedure as described to us one of the staff said we could just cancel the procedure. It took everything I had not to jump across that bed and get in Dr Greenwell's face for being so rude to my mom in front of my dad. Really the whole experience was a cluster.

Dr. Greenwell is an excellent Urologist. He has been treating me since 2005. His staff is well trained and he has an upbeat personality and sense of humor capable of putting his patients at ease. I won't say I look forward to our visits but Dr. Greenwell's professional staff and personality make the visits much less stressful.
