Commercial insurance plans do not cover the cost of treatment with shockwave therapy for ED. No clinics that offer shockwave therapy for ED including those that offer Gainswave therapy branded shockwave therapy, CoreWave branded shockwave therapy and Rajavapulse,  are covered by health insurance plans.

Circumcision and vasectomy by Hector Nieves on Feb 22, 2022Todo muy bien con el personal, la cirugia, el seguimiento, etc. Lo unico que podria decir un poquito negativo es el tiempo de espera despues de la hora de la cita fue bastante, pero con relacion a todo lo demas es excelente.

Review by Armando Santos on Dec 16, 2021Great experience

best urology doctor by Winston – via Healthgrades.com on Feb 14, 2021Dr Alex Shteynshlyuger is the best urology doctor there is. He is attentive, analytical, knowledgeable and skillful. Very confidential with a masterfully professional staff. I would not hesitate in recommending Dr Shteynshlyuger to the world because I am a satisfied patient of his.

solved my problem with ED by via HealthGrades.com on Jan 29, 2021Dr. Shteynshlyuger helped to solve my problem with ED

100% perfect circumcision by via HealthGrades.com on Jan 21, 2021Dr. Shteynshlyuger did what I would call an 100% perfect circumcision on me. I can’t even find my scar. He cut the precise right amount of skin. I now feel extremely happy, confident, and proud of how it looks. I am 100% satisfied with my results and I would recommend him to any guy seeking an adult circumcision. I healed in 5.5 weeks but his recommendation is 6 weeks to heal so that means zero “activity” for 6 weeks to avoid damaging the stitching. The surgical glue I pulled off at 5.5 weeks. It is important to not remove it before! The lower posterior of my shaft did not look good at first, especially w/ the surgical glue on it, but over weeks it looked better and better w/ the final results by 5.5-6 weeks being excellent When the doctor injected the anesthetic, it was painful since he must inject it deep ~6-8times. During the surgery my discomfort was maybe a 1/10, so tolerable. Make sure to buy lots of bandages/gauze before/after for daily change for 5-6 weeks

recommend Dr. Shteynshlyuger by via HealthGrades.com on Jan 04, 2021Yes I would recommend Dr. Shteynshlyuger . Effective physician at all levels.

finally able to enjoy life again by Josh via Google.com on Dec 16, 2020Dr. Alex absolutely changed my life and restored my faith in doctors. When my condition first started I saw four different urologists over a period of about 6 months. All four either laughed me out of their office saying there’s nothing they could do to help, that my pain was normal, or prescribed me something that did not help or made everything worse. I prepared to live my life (22 years old now) with chronic pain that made participating in every day activities extremely difficult. Finally after getting the courage to start looking for new doctors again I found Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger and decided to give his office a call. I proceeded to see him shortly after my call, and now a few visits and months later I am finally able to enjoy life again. Dr. Alex took the time to do the tests that other doctors did not even mention. He took different approaches, gave well explained answers to all of my questions, and made me feel like there are some doctors who really do care. On top of all of that he has some of the most helpful and kind staff I have come across. I cannot stress enough how thankful I am for Dr. Alex!

No pain at all by Elson via Google.com on Nov 25, 2020This was a very fast and easy process. No pain at all and the job was very well done. He stays on top of your progress and helps to heal faster. I will definitely recommend Dr Alex at all times!!!

Great place by Yannis via Google.com on Nov 09, 2020Very friendly staff, A great experience from the front desk to seeing the doctor. Dr.Shteynshlyuger is very professional and makes you comfortable when you’re in the room. He answers every question with detail. Great place..

I would highly recommend it to anyone by Javier – Via Google.com on Oct 11, 2020I saw the reviews about this place and was very hesitant to go but something was telling me to go with them and I don’t regret it at all, the doctor did a great job and helped me understand the process plus the staff was amazing I would highly recommend it to anyone! quick story after the procedure I was in soo much pain and called the office on a SUNDAY, the doctor gave me a call back within 15 minutes and prescribed a stronger medication, to me that meant a lot for the doctor to take time from his day on a Sunday to help me.

highly qualified diagnostician by Vladimir via Google.com on Sep 23, 2020I have been observed by Dr. Alex for many years and I must say that he is a highly qualified diagnostician, and also several times I have received qualified microsurgical assistance and very useful advice. The only reason I put 4 with a plus is a somewhat long wait for the reception.

successful procedure by Grant via Google.com on Aug 20, 2020To Dr. Shteynshlyuger and your assistants and aids, thank you guys for a successful procedure. I’d refer you to others for your compassionate, knowledgeable, attentive service and indepth follow up care.

I am very happy with this doctor. by Maria via Google.com on Aug 12, 2020I am very happy with this doctor. He is very patient and he understood all my problems. He also answered my questions and gave me some good advice.

Doctor Shteynshlyuger provided me with the care I needed by Christopher via Google.com on Mar 11, 2020The staff is very professional. Doctor Shteynshlyuger provided me with the care I needed. The wait, visits, and instructions were brief. I followed his instructions and my issue was resolved. As a patient exercise patience. Follow the instructions and be honest about your condition and what you hope to accomplish be visiting. Thanks again Doctor.

Shang Ring circumcision by via HealthGrades.com on Oct 29, 2019Overall, it was a good experience. Dr. Shteynshlyuger (Dr. Alex) was very nice, warm and helpful. He performed a Shang Ring circumcision for me and the procedure went well. I’m pleased with the results and there were no complications. If anyone is interested in the shang ring circumcision in the tristate area, then I’d recommend him. The whole procedure is $1850, which includes the initial consultation (provided that ther are no complications) and every follow up visit up to six months.
