Doctor Profile Image

Joshua Aizen MD

Urologist

  • "Dr. Aizen was a fantastic doctor through every step of the process. He clearly described my issue (including drawing pictures for me during our consultation) and shepherded me through the resulting necessary outpatient surgery and follow-up. Dr. Aizen provided as much information as I wanted and was available for questions, but didn't overwhelm me, and also did a great job on my final surgery and the follow-up stent removal. I would recommend Dr. Aizen to anyone and everyone."
