Urology Institute Of Nevada

Dr. Golden is an excellent doctor. I was diagnosed w/ issues that were pretty extreme and needed help fast. He was compasionate, caring, and jumped to action immediately. I'd been telling another Dr. for 2 years that something wasn't right and was given the attention, until things went extremely bad. I'm alive due to the fast action and thinking of this wonderful doctor and will be one of his patients as long as he is here in Las Vegas and practicing.

My situation is a little rare but I found out in March that my right kidney had no blood flow in it and it was basically dead. I saw 3 other specialist before I saw Dr Golden and all 3 told me to leave my kidney in and not have it removed that it was a congenital issue. In August I saw Dr. Golden because I was having some back pain. The minute I met with him he made me feel so comfortable. He recommended I remove my kidney right away due to being high risk for infection. The 2 weeks before my surgery I woke up in the middle of the night in the worst pain of my life. My husband rushed me to the ER and they told me my kidney was infected. They put a catheter in the kidney to drain it to relieve the pain. The day after this procedure they sent me home until my sugery. The next day my hospital doctor called me to tell me my blood was infected from the infection and I had to go back to the hospital right away to be admitted. I stayed in the hospital another 5 days because the infection was ... Read more

This note is my thanks to Dr. Golden for saving most of my left kidney. My story is a little unusual, since I had already lost my right kidney to cancer in 2002. That whole kidney was removed in a traditional operation through a long “shark bite” that was awfully painful and took several months to recover from. Recently my doctor found a new tumor in my left kidney (the only one I have left!). I was scared I would need this kidney removed, then be hooked up to a dialysis machine for the rest of my life. The urologist who took out my right kidney years ago recommended Dr. Brian Golden. My primary doctor rated Dr. Golden as “EXCELLENT” which of course influenced my decision, but the deciding moments were when I actually met and discussed my case with Dr. G. He showed me my CAT scan and the tumor. He described the operation using the da Vinci robot (robotic partial nephrectomy) and showed me how much of my kidney could be saved. He had a very reassuring bedside manner, was con... Read more

Dr. Brian Golden was very highly recommended by a prestigious internal medicine group in Las Vegas. Their recommendation noted that he was eminently qualified as an experienced, practicing urologist and surgeon, particularly in a procedure called the Da Vinci. Having undergone this procedure on 5 Aug op at the hands of Dr. Golden, I attest to the fact that he has more than earned such high esteem. From initial consult, through biopsy & diagnosis of prostate cancer to eventual surgical removal of my prostate, Dr. Golden was the consummate professional. He firmly & clearly communicated the facts to me, & was always considerate of my feelings. He thoroughly explained other options to me based on my type of cancer cell & provided other sources of information I could check including other oncologists. Dr. Golden placed the decision in my hands & waited for me to decide. I really appreciated that. I'm recovering well & chances for complete recovery are great. Bless you, Dr. Golden. Art Akin...

I went to UMC Quick care 3 times and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. One short visit to Dr. Golden, and he got it right. He was not only knowledgeable and very nice, but also took the time to even show me the results under the microscope! Who does that??? He's the best Dr. I've seen. I'll will continue to go to him, and only him.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Golden. I sincerely feel he saved my life. While running an abdominal scan for some stomach problems, they accidently found a large mass on my left kidney. My family doctor immediately referred me to Dr. Golden. Dr Golden ordered another scan with contrast to get a better view of the location of the mass. Due to the location and size of the mass, he recommended that he remove the whole kidney. The risk of infection and complication by trying to remove just the mass was too great. It ultimately was my final decision and I decided to follow his recommendation. He made me no promises but he thoroughly explained how he intended to make four small incisions (1/4" to 1") in length to get everything out. The morning before the surgery, he met with my husband and went in details to explain him what was going to take place. I honestly and truly felt I was in good hands. When I woke up from surgery, all I had was four small incisions, the longest (1... Read more

I am a retiree who suffered from enlarge prostate for years. After the LASER (evolve) I can say now ..I feel like a seventeen years old again. Dr Golden is the best.

Dr, Golden and the Da Vinci procedure have preserved my husband's urologic and sexual functiions. His expertise with the robotic procedure has made a 56 year old man and his wife very happy! We were very impressed with Dr. Golden, the hospital and the staff in both his offices and the hospital. Any man considering surgery for prostate cancer needs to see Dr. Golden and learn about the robotic procedure. My husband is only 10 days post op and is feeling fantastic! There is a positive future after a prostatectomy. Thanks Dr. Golden!

Great Doctor and a great staff. My experience with Dr. Golden went very well. Since the proceedure all parts working and I'm very greatful to the doctor for his good work. Excellent, very professional. If you have a problem or think you might a problem and are considering a proceedure I highly reccomend Dr Golden.

Gentlemen, do yourself a favor and have annual PSA/Prostate screenings. Painless procedure that could save your life. I recently had a prostrate biopsy performed by Dr Golden and many years of dread and fear. What a waste of time and needless fear. The procedure was nearly painless, somewhere between that of a haircut and a flu shot. Dr Golden is awesome, his staff is caring, and your questions and fears will be answered and addressed. Be a hero, take care of yourself, call Dr Golden with any male related issues.

This Dr is caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable. He was quick to react to my issues, especially since it was such a surprise issue that happened. He?s been a wonderful support, and he should be sought out by anyone in the Las Vegas area searching for a GOOD UROLOGIST! He has 2 offices (1) in Henderson, and (1) in Las Vegas at San Martin (Thus Appts Only ? for now). YOU GO DR. GOLDEN!! ? YOU ARE THE BEST OF LAS VEGAS PERPETUALLY ? Too bad there isn?t a category for Good physicians in ?Best of Las Vegas? ? You?d be there repeatedly every year!

I was referred to Dr. Golden when my doctor found a mass in my kidney. I was surprised at how much time Dr. Golden took to look over my films with me and explained the treatment options without confusing me with medical lingo. We decided to freeze the tumor with "laparoscopic cryoablation." The surgery went great and I was able to leave the hospital the DAY AFTER SURGERY! I had very little pain and got back to my usual activities in about a week. Dr. Golden has a great bedside manner and I felt very confident in his abilities. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone that needs a good urologist! Thank You!
