| - This review is long overdue, I brought my 6 year old son here for a consult in regards to one of his testicles. Check in was interesting, receptionist was praising how great the Dr. is and then signed us in. Then, nurse Linda took us to the consult room, where started to praise how people from all over the country come and see Dr. Close. Then the very next thing she did was draw a diagram of ovaries and testicles and how they develop, which had nothing to do with my child's consult. After waiting for 15-20 minutes, Dr.Close finally comes to the consult room. She spent only 8 minutes examining my child and then recommended surgery on both testicles. I did not feel comfortable, with her Bedside Manner and quickly diagnosing surgery. Also, she did charge us $375 for the 8 minute consult. She has a very small waiting room, as we were leaving not only the waiting room was packed but there were patients outside the door in the hallway. The receptionist explained that Dr.Close was on vacation and now she was trying to get everyone in. In my opinion this was very unprofessional, specially when we paid $375 for 8 minute consult. Anyways, I set up a consult with another urologist in town, they actually examined my son throughly and spend a good 45 minutes with us and told us that everything is fine with my child and would not recommend any surgery. Parents beware, if you get bad vibes about this practice, seek a second opinion as I did. I feel like her office was trying to make up for income loss during her vacation by packing the patients in and recommending unnecessary expensive surgical treatment.
