2018, Successful
He [Dr. Bradley Waterman] was very thorough during our consultation. He was highly recommended by our RE as he was a male factor infertility urologist. He spent time answering our questions and was very personable. He even joke around with my wife to lighten the mood. It was quite hilarious. Although, his wait is long, I think it is because he spends quality time with each one of his patients...he helped us out so my surgery would be covered. He also made us aware of the realistic expectations on my surgery so our hopes wouldn't be to high. However, my results of my sperm analysis improve after the surgery. He was honest and would share his own history of infertility regarding his family. The only weakness is that his wait time is very long. We waited in his waiting room for 1 hour before seeing him. However, we found out that he takes a long time because he talks in detail with each one of his patients.
New Patient Advice
office [Granger Medical Clinic] is satisfactory. My wife did notice that we were one of the youngest people in the waiting room but I didn't think it was a big deal...They [nurses] were satisfactory. The phone communication is not the best...My follow up from surgery was included in Dr. Waterman's service fee...Our RE referred us to a Dr. Waterman to determine if a varicocele ligation would improve my morphology. I was initially diagnosed with low morphology (0.5%). Dr. Waterman indicated that it may or may not improve the number but it was worth a chance. He then did a varicocele ligation on my left testicle. He and our RE indicated that it could take up to 3-6 months to improve if the surgery was successful. Our RE then did a repeat Sperm Analysis and my morphology improved to 7%.

Dr. Waterman was great but the rest of his office is satisfactory. My wife did notice that we were one of the youngest people in the waiting room but I didn't think it was a big deal. I believe they recently move office after my surgery so I'm not sure of the current layout.
