BPH and Acquablation
I went to Dr Chaikin due to “UTI” and issue with urinating. He was very thorough and diligent, diagnosing my BPH issue and offering standard of care. Further discussion as to surgery and we aligned on Acquablation procedure. Along the journey Dr Chaikin was clear and informative and treated me with care and respect. We managed through the procedure outcome amazing and I cannot thank it recommend Dr Chaikin enough. He is the consumate professional treating me as a “person” not just a patient!

2nd opinion
I went to Dr Chaikin for a 2nd opinion about a prostate, bladder and kidney issue. One of the best moves I have ever made. Dr Chaikin is 5 stars. He is patient and answers questions and explains the answers in detail. Surgery went well, followup is ongoing and as expected. The staff is great. 5 stars all the way. I trust Dr Chaikin

Surgery review
My bladder prolapse began right before Covid and progressively became worst. By early 2022 it needed repair. My OBGYN recommended Dr Chaikin. After discussing my issues, I scheduled my surgery. Dr Chaikin was very patient and willing to answer my many questions. I am happy to report that 3 months later I am well recovered and so happy with my repair. Everyone has been supportive and I feel sure that my prolapse is a thing of the past thank to Dr Chaikin.

The Best
Dr. Chaikin is the best. While visiting NJ, my mother discovered she had stage 4 bladder cancer. Dr. Chaikin worked with her to personalize immediate treatment and walked us through alternatives and pro's and con's of each treatment. During the long surgery, he texted me updates thoughtfully aware of our family's concerns. 14 years later my mother remains cancer free. Thank you for 14 extra years with my mom.

Outstanding Results
I lived with a mild case of post prostatectomy leakage for many years. Dr. Chaikin installed an Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) and I have been absolutely, totally, dry since. Huge lifestyle improvement. Prior to my surgery, Dr. Chaikin was very effective in helping me understand the risks and possible outcomes so I could decide whether to pursue this elective surgery. Great doc and surgeon.

I hated this doctor and definitely will not be going back. At first glance, both his scrubs and lab coat had stains on them. I was cramped into a small room with him, a scribe and nurse for a pelvic exam during which he opened the door multiple times. He ran through a number of things related to my condition without my getting an opportunity to ask questions. He seemed scattered and not well organized. I thought I was getting multiple prescriptions, but when I got the pharmacy I had one. I left feeling confused, upset, and violated. I would not recommend this doctor to my worst enemy. I was told I would hear from two people about downloading an app to track symptoms and such for him, and to schedule follow up appointments, which I have not heard from either of them. Overall terrible experience.
