Great experience !
September 03, 2025
Dr. Tooth's office was very good. Needed lab a few days before visit. Terrible experience as it always is. You need to review facility use and procedure. The people were very nice, lab tech very professional. 50 minute wait just to register! And several people before me gave up and left. Have to travel to Augusta, then wait to register. Actual blood draw took about 2 minutes. Closing Winthrop lab big disappointment. If I can help with a solution please contact. Thank you

Great experience
August 08, 2025
I am so fortunate to have Dr Tooth's oustanding care
August 08, 2025
Dr. Tooth sat across the room from me and never examined me in anyway. He never requested I disrobe for a hands on exam. I was only asked about my current pain level. I was sent home with no treatment what so ever, being told I needed to go to Portland, because Dr. Tooth couldn't be bothered to at least check my prostate to see what was going on. I was left feeling like an unwelcome second class citizen. I honestly feel Dr. Tooth should have at least done either an ultrasound, CT scan or something to check what was going on.
August 07, 2025
I like DR, Tooth very good at his profession,.
August 07, 2025

July 31, 2025
I was very pleased with everyone in the urology department, it was nice to see an actual doctor who was willing to talk to me and answer my questions. He truly made me feel that I was getting the best care he could offer. And I feel confident he will give me the best care.
July 28, 2025
Dr. Tooth has given me good care, elevating it when necessary. He explains the results of tests. The staff is helpful, polite and thorough but there must be much turnover because faces seem to constantly change. Finally, the texts, recorded and live phone messages, are over the top and become annoying. One of each would be sufficient.
July 24, 2025
Always a friendly and caring experience.

Dr. Tooth took time to answer my questions and to inform me of procedures that may be necessary to treat my medical condition. Very professional staff, friendly and welcoming. I felt quite anxious at my arrival and anxiety greatly reduced before I left.
April 04, 2025
Hello, the receptionist was very fuzzy about my insurance and was kind of confused and wasn't complying with what I told her. She had a primary that wasn't proper in there and she was very reluctant to help me out in that based on the fact that she was more interested in not being, solving an issue with the office than solving an issue with me. Kind of frustrating dealing with her.
March 26, 2025
My appointment was for 3:15 pm and I was called into the room at exactly 3:15pm. That's unheard of these days.

Medication called in to CVS wasn't able to be filled because the medication didn't coordinate with the instructions. Nobody returned the call to the pharmacy. I let it go because they were able to get her an urology appointment in 3 days and decided to just let the urologist order her an antibiotic.
