Dec 08, 2023
Doctor provided what seemed to be a standard speech about the procedure, which was all basic information that most educated people should already know. That was fine, but it was all information that I already knew, and I would have preferred to spend the very limited time we had discussing more "advanced" concerns and questions, but the doctor wanted to get through all his info to me first. When I did have a chance to ask questions, his answer was very dismissive, and he seemed to be in a hurry to get on to his next appointment, so It seemed like there was no time for further discussion.
Nov 16, 2023
Dr. Gentile was great in providing detailed explanations throughout the procedure.

I trust Dr. Gentile.
Oct 09, 2023
Provider experience was very good during an important consultation but [...] He appeared extremely rushed and in fact, I was rushed in and out. This is not acceptable and I would not suggest this for anyone.
Oct 06, 2023
[...]. They were all very good
Sep 23, 2023
I have referred friends.
Sep 08, 2023
Dr Gentile has absolutely no people skills. Ignored my wife who is my caretaker and understands my situation better than me.
Aug 23, 2023
Again, an ongoing review of a long-term couple of problems that we are addressing, I think, appropriately.
Aug 06, 2023
Health care team very helpful and comfortable in manner and communication

Mar 31, 2023
1. Provider no longer does a test he used to do. [...] 2. Provider spent more time entering data on computer than he actually spent with me as a patient. [...]

Dr. Gentile is an excellent practitioner. He is knowledgeable and thorough about the many tests, X-rays, CT, etc. I wish he would spend less time looking at his computer and would take the time to talk directly to me and explain what he is looking at the test results and and many scans. I wish he would do more of this to make me comfortable with the solutions /treatments he is suggesting. I know he is an excellent doctor.
Jan 06, 2023
He is the best.
Jan 03, 2023
Excellent in every way.
Jan 01, 2023
Dr Gentile is a highly skilled provider who handled my sensitive health issues professionally and completely. His attention to my personal health care and my future treatments was very much appreciated.
Dec 10, 2022
Robotic surgery was done at University of Albany. Nice people, not such good organization. Dr. Gentile's office notes explain staging very clearly, which I appreciate. It is also noted that he has all the Albany chart data.
Dec 09, 2022
Extremely thorough and cogent
Dec 01, 2022
He's more concerned about typing notes than talking to me. Never looks up during questioning.
Nov 28, 2022
Doctor has been with me and he is great to have.

I like Dr. Gentile very much. He shows much concern regarding my ailments and conditions.

Dr Gentile is the best.
Nov 08, 2022
Dr Gentile was very patient and caring with us, giving us an end of the day appointment so that we were not rushed.
Nov 05, 2022
A bit cut and dry = stopping at the first answer ("Do you have any ___?"), and perhaps could have more open-ended questions. It's efficient, but a computer could do the same work.
Nov 04, 2022
Provider was running late on this particular visit and seemed rushed to catch up and keep visit short as possible.
Nov 04, 2022
During my appoints with Dr. Gentile he spends most of the time typing. Visits are shorter than with other specialists.
Oct 25, 2022
Dr. Gentile was kind, considerate, and reassuring. An excellent experience with him.
Oct 15, 2022
The first time I came to him he was great. He took the time to explain things and give me options. The last few visits he was always rushed and doesn't really listen to what I have to say. The last visit he was already an hour behind by 10am. I told him I had problems with 2 of my options not working well. He said I can try the injections again or do surgery, there's nothing else for us to try. What do I want to do? How about letting me talk to the nurse or PA to see if they could help with direction on the injections or pump? Noone gave direction on how to properly use the injection or pump, just here's the stuff, go try it. Maybe I'm doing It wrong? It just frustrating that he is too rushed to listen and spend the time to help.
Oct 14, 2022
Dr. Gentile is an excellent healthcare provider. I have great peace of mind knowing he is my physician.
Oct 14, 2022
Have never been treated with such disrespect
Oct 06, 2022
Although I had a bad first impression at the initial visit, I am really glad that I stuck with Dr. Gentile. He is a consumate professional!
Sep 09, 2022
I have been with Dr. Gentile since 2011 and he has given me excellent care. He is a great doctor and surgeon.
Sep 09, 2022
Yes for the first time I saw this provider 10 years ago he was excellent. Immediately identified the problem and knew exactly what to do.
Aug 17, 2022
Very patient - demonstrated care!
Aug 16, 2022
I told Dr. Gentile that the Testosterone Gel had no apparent affect after 6 months use. I told him I was willing to continue it. However I wish he had explained his reasons for me continuing. [...] Dr. Gentile rushes through appointments with me more as the years pass paying more attention to his computer than me.
Aug 13, 2022
I do not take for granted the kindness and knowledge of this doctor and staff.
Aug 06, 2022
Most of my appointment time with Dr. Gentile is spent with him totally focused on typing on his computer. I have no idea what or why. He begins typing immediately upon entering the room and continues for several minutes. No communication with me. I can only conclude he's writing his report on his previous patient. I never experience this with any other physician. It's troubling.I didn't fully receive the advice and opinion I expected from Dr. Gentile at this visit. Some surprisingly different from a recent previous visit.
Aug 05, 2022
[...]. I feel the doctor did not listen to me well as his notes failed to represent what we discussed. The information he relayed to me changed between visits. I was barely listened to and then the appointment was over before I could properly address my concerns. This was a useless and degrading experience, and a waste of my time.
Jul 29, 2022
He needs to listen during appt
Jul 09, 2022
Dr. Gentile is great. Best urologist I have ever had.
Jul 08, 2022
I was hoping he would have been more informative. And if did only ten operations dealing with a penectomy I felt he should have been more concerned about health his patients by following up on how they were doing.
Jul 02, 2022
Dr. Gentile is super! He is thorough, knowledgeable and compassionate. He responds quickly and efficiently to all the concerns that I presented. His team reflects his values. They are kind and understanding. He and his team are a credit to URMC.
Jun 23, 2022
Doctor Gentile was great, very professional, positive vibe and straight to the point type of person.
Jun 11, 2022
Dr. Gentile is always rushed. I believe he is always overbooked. During his brief visits with me he Immediately begins typing and continues for most of the visit. He provides very little time for consultation.
Jun 10, 2022
Dr Gentile is great. I trust him completely.
Jun 01, 2022
Would (and have) recommend Dr. Gentile, and UofR Urology in general.
May 13, 2022
Regarding the question of my recommending the Doctor to others, I hav, in fact, done exactly that for most, if not all of my doctors.
Apr 29, 2022
I know this provider long time iwll see all time requment evry onr
Apr 23, 2022
He ordered a couple of lab procedures to decide which way to go. [...]
Apr 07, 2022
The provider spends most of the time looking at, and typing on his computer and doesn't make eye contact or pay attention to questions or concerns. Some responses are flippant or dismissive.
Apr 02, 2022
Every visit with Dr. Gentile is pleasant and efficient. He is an excellent healthcare provider, I totally trust him.
Apr 01, 2022
Very professional and informative.
Mar 22, 2022
Dr. Gentile is excellent, very thorough and understanding.
Mar 18, 2022
The care provider was nice, informative, and professional as usual. I had a good experience.
Feb 28, 2022
Dr. Gentile specifically I think is great. His office and some of the staff, not so much.
Feb 26, 2022
Dr Gentile has done 2 surgeries for me; and based on that experience, I'm willing to wait until he has time for an follow-ups. Not only is he a skilled surgeon, he has a personality that fits the job.
Feb 23, 2022
Dr. Listened to my concerns about wait time and suggestions for improvement also took the time to inform me about my condition in a easy way to understand. I felt better because I was more informed.
Feb 13, 2022
Dr. Gentile is the best Urologist in the area. I'm glad he took me on as a patient.
Feb 12, 2022
Excellent Service
