"Kind, sensitive, intelligent, caring. We went to a 'world renowned' urologist at UPMC and he barely spent 7 minutes with us. We are so pleased with our decision to have surgery with Dr. J.I."

— Vitals (Dr. Justin P. Isariyawongse)

"Terrible medical practice!! You have an appointment and get seen 2-3 hours late!! The staff is unprofessional. The doctor is a narcissist."

— WebMD (Dr. Frank Costa)

"This doctor IS THE WORST! He placed a stent when I was at UPMC East, on 8/21/25... he then refused to remove the stent... If you value your health, stay away from this doctor."
