Excellent, the only urologist who could help me with my UTIs and I've had many doctors fail where he didn't. The problem is I cannot find out where he is practicing now because he is longer affiliated with the urology group he worked with??? Dr. Smilen came to NJ once a week and helped patients here. If anyone knows where he will be practicing next, please email me, I'm desperate for his expertise in UTIs. Thank You

0 stars for Dr. Smilen's character and patient relations. My wife was finally diagnosed with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction after 6 years of suffering from constant pain and visiting several doctors. Following the diagnosis, we learned that one of the only treatments for the condition is internal botox injections into the trigger points of the pelvic floor. Unfortunately, there are only a few doctors who perform such a procedure. Through our own research, we found Dr. Smilen. She had an excellent consultation with Dr. Smilen who built up the trust that she was in great hands. She made a procedure appointment months in advance. When the date got closer, the reality that she could possibly be pain free in a few days was emotionally overwhelming. The morning of procedure, we began our journey from NJ to his NY office. When we were less that an hour from his office and just about to enter the Lincoln Tunnel, my wife received a call from his secretary saying they had to cancel the appointment because they forgot to order the injection needle that was required for the procedure. WHAT?! We had both taken the day off from work, scheduled our babysitters, and spent money on gas and tolls. We demanded to hear from someone to explain how this could happen. Reluctantly, we turned around and drove home. My wife was crying for the next day and continues to live in pain. How could such a respectable doctor and his office fail to prepare for the procedure? The answer is simple. This is because Dr. Smilen doesn't truly care about his patients. This was clear to us when my wife never received a call from Dr. Smilen. He knew how important this was to her. He knew that it was his fault the needle wasn't ordered. Yet, he didn't have the courage to call my wife and apologize for their error. To this day, no one from his office has called. We wrote a letter expressing our distaste with the handling of the matter. That was three weeks ago and we still haven't gotten a response. Bottom line is that Dr. Smilen doesn't care! If you're reading this review, I implore you to find another doctor. He may be a skilled doctor, but his character is clearly lacking, and that should be just as important to you when searching for a doctor. 0 stars for Dr. Smilen's character and patient relations.

Dr. Scott Smilen is my blessing!!! Dr. Scott Smilen and his team saved my life. I was lucky to have found such a professional who has cared for me as if I was a part of his immediate family. Dr. Scott Smilen is a scholar by degree, a Master of his craft by Discipline, and humanitarian with values set higher than the ethics that governs him to practice medicine. Dr. Scott Smilen hands are served by God! 17 year struggle and he gave me back my life!! Thank you publicly Dr. Scott Smilen for all you do and done!!! Dr. Scott Smilen is my blessing!!!

Dr. Smilen is one of my favorite doctors -- not only because he's incredibly nice and thorough and unrushed, but also because he really worked with me, surgically and medically, when other UroGYNS had been reluctant to operate due to my young age. I've had two prolapse-repair surgeries with him; both have left me with minimal discomfort and enormous improvements to my quality of life. Staff is lovely and very competent, office is clean, wait is usually 15-20 minutes.

I had an appointment with Dr. smilen today and I was so nervous he was the nicest doctor and made me feel so comfortable.

Dr. Smilen was pleasant,courteous,and thorough.He addressed my concerns and answered all my questions.The pelvic exam was not painful.

I should've paid attention to that one star rating below but instead I ignored it and went to Dr.Smilen for a routine check up...For starters my wait was ridiculous for and NYU practice(literally had to ask the nurse if I would be seen soon). Once I did see Dr.Smilen it was literally for 20 minutes(I was in the office for almost two hours) it was the most painful/uncomfortable and rushed Pap smear and breast exam I've ever had!

My visit with Dr. Smilen stands out as my least satisfying gynecological visit ever. First, the examination was the only painful one I have ever had in "that area," due to the fact that he just shoved the instruments in, seeming not to care about my comfort. Secondly, he was accompanied by a younger male doctor (or med student?) whom he was instructing, and within earshot of me, described my anatomy in unflattering terms as an example of what happens when a woman ages. Insensitive.

He has an excellent bed-side manner. I knew as soon as he walked into the exam room that I would like him because he had a nice smile on his face. He is a good listener, and I am sure, an excellent diagnostician. I thoroughly trust him. The office staff is very friendly. The person who makes appointments is, too.

Today is my first visit with Dr. Smilen. I was so grateful for his attention, patience, diligence, and thoroughness. His nurse Susan was just as amazing and made all attempts to make me comfortable. This is the first time I was taken care of in a manner that I am not accustomed to with many necessary procedures being completed during my appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Scott Smilen for your medical care.

Dr Smilen is an excellent doctor. He makes you feel at easy and explains everything to you. He also takes his time listening to what you have to say, and that's very important. I cant say enough good things about this doctor... 5 star Plus.....:-)
