Dr. Monisha Crissell – TriValley Urology

Dr. Crisell is a wonderful doctor. I’ve been going there for a few years and she is very caring and you get excellent doctor care. She listens and very nice to talk to and you get wonderful care. Her staff has been very nice to me. I have to get during the year for instillation procedures and when I call I’m able to get in that same day for these needed procedures.
I would highly recommend Dr. Crisell and again her staff is very good also.

Dr. Crissell is a godsend! I’ve had bladder pain for 3 months. Been to two urgent cares and to a male urologist at Cedars-​Sinai in LA (women were on vacation). Had a cytoscopy. Was told everything looks fine, and they don’t know what’s wrong with me. Except I’m still in bad pain! I am traveling and SoCal is not my home turf, so it is hard to know who to go to. I finally got an appt with Dr. Monisha Crissell at TriValley. She was AWESOME!!! She looked at me and said ‘I know what’s wrong with you’. And she did! And now I’m feeling better! Turns out your bladder can look fine but still be compromised with IC/​Painful Bladder Syndrome. Too bad the old guy doc at Cedars didn’t know this! Dr. Crisell is smart, confident, personable, and was very welcoming to me and my (lesbian) partner. One of the best doctors I’ve ever had, and I’m old! ;) I didn’t have to wait more than 5 minutes when I got there. Office staff very nice and efficient.

Went to office as continuing patient with Insurance and without being told prior they hit me for $ 155 for the office visit, I informed them that my Insurance covered 80% and I was only required to pay the 20% after we agreed to contracted office visit. They still insisted on the $ 155 so I left and will find another Urologist. They were great a couple of years ago. I don’t know what changed

I’d give her and this office 0 stars if that was possible. Very unprofessional and rude. I’ve been coming here since 2010 and have seen this office go downhill during this time. However, not to the extent this year. No longer is this a place you can count on. For instance, during an extremely painful urinary flare I made an appointment to get treated. I went to the office only to find out they decided to cancel my appointment due to the doctor not showing up. This is becoming a bad habit of Crissell’s. She should at least have a fill in for her for emergencies. I’ve had to locate another physician due to their lack of care for patients.

Arrived at 1:15 for new patient appointment and just now have been taking to a room. It is now 2:40, at 2:30 we were told doc still wasn’t here and they didn’t know when he was coming. Not to mention there are four patients still ahead of us… Going to be here for awhile. I’d leave except my preteen son has been waiting to see this doc for over a week and is in pain… Going back to my insurance for a new referral. Never seen anything like this. Out of courtesy I always show up 15 – 20 min prior to appt, doctors should be on site, ready to care for their patients in a timely manner.

I have been a patient of Dr. Crisell for years. She is a very warm, compassionate person and an extremely competent physician. Dr. Crisell explains procedures in a way that is easily understood, and she is patient and open with answering questions. Although she treats men and women, as a woman, I have found it very reassuring to work with a female urologist. I highly recommend Dr. Crisell to anyone needing urology care.

Dr. V was so understanding, humorous and much more than your typical white lab coat doc. I am getting to that age that it was time for a check up. I have not seen a doctor in over 10 years. My wife out of no where had a heart attack 2 months ago. She is the picture of health and fitness. She is doing fine but I decided it was time to at least get a physical. Dr. V was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend him to anyone at all. Extremely personal, jovial, patient and all around great guy.

I had maybe 2 choices in the area through my insurance company and on a whim, selected Dr. Monisha Crissell (sp) at TriValley Urology… and she is GREAT. The office staff is friendly, the nurses are delightful and Dr. Crissell is patient and kind and explains everything, as do the nurses. I’ve had to go repeatedly for a medical condition, and I am treated with respect and given all the information I need and always feel free to ask questions. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good urologist.
