John P Chesson

NEVER HAS A DR. SPENT SO MUCH TIME WITH ME. HE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING. WE WENT OVER MY COMPLETE MEDICAL HISTORY. WHEN I LEFT I KNEW WHAT MY PROBLEM CAME FROM AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. HE HAS A WAY TO EXPLAIN THINGS IN A MANNER YOU CAN UNDERSTAND. HIS STAFF IS ALSO POLITE AND KNOWLEDGABLE

First, about the front line support team ...rock stars! Dr Chesson can be described as attentive, informed, compassionate, caring, and an expert in the field. Together the team offers what any patient wants: someone who cares, listens, and can guide you towards a path of reassurance that things will be addressed by knowledgable experts. I'm a fan.

Well what I can say is that the moment I came in, the atmosphere felt right, like I was in the right place. It was nice meeting Dr. John, he really made me feel comfortable right from the start, he makes you feel like you are talking to a friend! He was very understanding and patient with what I had to say. He really knows what he is doing, I'm glad I got to meet him and now I know what Dr. to go to when I need one. Btw his assistant was also very nice. I appreciate you all. Well what I can say is that the moment I came in, the atmosphere felt right, like I was in the right place.

Dr. Chess is an excellent urologist. He takes time to talk to patients and explain all relevant material with them. He is open to any and all questions and answers everythibg in a manner you can understand. I alwayts leavce with more knowledge of urology than when I went into his office.

Dr. Chesson is one of the rare doctors today. He is the only doctor in his practice. He spends more time with his patients than most any doctor I have had in many years. I was amazed that he took the time to talk with me about each medication that I take and then entered each one into his medical records. He seems to really care about his patients.

Dr. Chesson is one of the most patient-oriented doctors that I have worked with. He has been my urologist for the past 4+ years treating me for Agent Orange related prostate cancer. He stays current with current treatment options and is willing to discuss and explain these.

Have been seeing Dr. Chesson for 15 years. Part medical doctor and part scientist. I appreciate his professional curiosity and believe that keeps him abreast of medical advances as well as begin grounded in what works. Appointments are NEVER rushed and that can cause delays in the waiting room. Having access to quality medical care like this is, in my opinion, worth the occasional wait. While the office is sometimes quite busy, his assistant Ashley remains pleasant, thorough and professional.

Wonderful Doctor. I would reccomend him to anyone.

From the moment I met Dr. Chesson, I was impressed with his professionalism and the amount of time he spends with each patient. One never feels rushed. He explains everything clearly and in detail (including drawing pictures) until I feel completely informed, comfortable and up-to-date with my situation. He is exceedingly kind and warm in his manner especially when the situation is delicate or uncomfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Chesson. He is a highly skilled and very empathetic doctor.

I have never had a specialist take so much time and care in an initial consultation. If you're looking for a doctor you can talk to who won't talk down to you, this is your guy.

Dr. Chesson is excellent. He is thorough and truly cares for his patients. Ashley is wonderful. She goes above and beyond to ensure the whole process runs smoothly. Ashley returns phone calls in an expedient manner. Overall very caring person.

I had an urgent need to see a urologist while passing a kidney stone. He brought me right in and addressed my needs right away. I found him to be thorough, personable, and a good listener.

Dr. Chesson cares about people. If I ever in my 70 years had a doctor who cares about his or her patients, it is Dr. Chesson. He listens. He offers suggestions. He is knowledgeable. He is patient.

My first consultation with John Chesson MD was efficient, thorough, and entirely satisfactory. As other patients have testified, Dr. Chesson listens carefully and explains medical matters in necessary detail. He seems appropriately conservative in his recommendations and clearly seeks to minimize medical interventions. Above all, Dr Chesson does not allow himself to be rushed in consultation. Many physicians give the impression that one is wasting their time but nowadays physicians must manage a tsunami of patients, so hurrying a patient along is necessary.

Very personable , listens, tells you what he is thinking . Provides explicit written instructions on what he would like you to do. Candid about limits of medical science with regard to your diagnosis and prognosis . Discusses option available and his reasoning for his recommendations . Does not oatronize, and is open to alternative views .

I took my 86 year old mother to see Dr. Chesson yesterday. She was very nervous about the procedure she needed to have done. Dr. Chesson is a great doctor. He spends a lot time with his patients. He explains everything in detail and makes the patient feel comfortable and relaxed. He has a great bedside manner and a great personality. It is wonderful after taking my mother to many doctors to experience one like Dr. Chesson.

I’ve seen Dr Chesson now for about 9 months for Low T. I appreciate his conservative approach to understanding the root cause of the Low T scores rather than shoving a “membership” for replacement therapy. I also chose Dr. Chesson for my vasectomy and it was a great experience....as great as you can have with that procedure. You may have to wait to see him but its because he gives every patient as much attention as needed. Just call ahead and see if he’s running behind and grab a coffee.

I began seeing Dr. Chesson in January 2018 for elevated PSA (23). We tried a few things, but ultimately decided that we needed a biopsy and later an MRI and CT scan. Eventually, we decided that a radical prostatectomy was needed and UVA was the best choice for that surgery. After the surgery, the team of doctors at UVA seemed to be all over the place with opinions, but Dr. Chesson was steady and his opinions never changed and he was WAY more right than all of the doctors at UVA.

I have been seeing Dr. Chesson for 4 years. I am pleased with his care. Especially the amount of time he spends listening to my concerns.

I will say the wait can be frustrating, but the fact that Dr. Chesson takes time with his patients and listens to them makes all the difference. I have taken my 84 year old mother there quite a few times. We went in this past week for a check up & even though he is a urologist, he took the time to look at her swollen foot/ankle (which he did not have to do). The doctor is very entertaining too!

My daughter has a lot of medical issues including a kidney disease that causes her to pass huge amounts of kidney stones, she's passed 166. I have to cx a lot of drs appts especially when she's passing stones. Dr Chesson came in the room and started going off and saying it wasn't fair to him that she couldn't make all her appts because she's ill. He didn't just do this once he did it thru the entire appt.

Great doctor, great bedside manner and take steps time to answer all questions. My only issue is every time I have an appointment, they’re running late...like half an hour or more!!

After experiencing some disturbing symptoms, My primary care physician referred me to Dr. Chesson. His office manager called and we quickly arranged an appointment. Dr. Chesson saw me promptly and after an introductory conversation, got down to business. He was experienced with my malady, well-versed in current research on the topic, and spent more than adequate time discussing causes, treatment, and future action. His demeanor was actually enjoyable, I left very reassured; five stars!

This is my second year seeing Dr. Chesson. He continues to pursue my care in steps rather than all at once. He is helping me via shots in controlling the increase of my osteoespenia which is the beginning of Osteoporosis. He checked my prostate like before, being gentle and giving the patient privacy afterwards. He returns to advise on the prognosis sitting next to him via the computer system that he adds his notes. He is a through Doctor and I would highly recommend him.

I would highly recommend Dr. Chesson to anyone needing his services. He is not only very professional and knowledgeable in his skill; but he takes time to visit and explain the medical conditions you are there to discuss. Very competent and thorough in his "bedside manner". We recently moved to the area and I wish I could have had him as my urologist sooner.

Technically astute while being humble, not arrogant; Up to date with the latest MRI technology, for example; very good communicator; asks good questions and gives good answers that I can understand, Exceptionally friendly, humorous. Highly recommend.

Dr. Chesson is the most helpful doctor I have ever encountered. He explains everything in detail, which can mean he takes more time with patients, when needed. This is important and if you have a wait, he is definitely worth the wait.

Dr. Chesson had a great sense of humor and was very kind to my mom who has Alzheimer's...kind of made me wish I needed to go to the urologist...is that weird?!

An excellent surgeon. He cuts no corners; he really cares about his patients' health.

His relaxed, easy going demeanor put me at ease. He was very conversational in his approach to getting the information he needed. He seemed genuinely interested in my life and experiences. This made it very easy to recall details about health issues from several years ago and more recently. He read aloud as he made his case notes so there was complete transparency to his evaluation. His recommendations were practical and reasonable. I recommend him highly.

Exhaustive medical history approached as a complex interaction, a puzzle. Dr. Chesson spent more time with my case than any other doctor I have ever visited. Insightful, thorough and highly personable. I feel fortunate for the referral I received to take my concern to him.

Dr. Chesson gave the most thorough, professional exam I've ever had.

He is a great person

I've been a patient of Dr. Chesson's for almost 3 months and find him to be very attentive in responding to my questions. His treatment reflects both sincere caring and a high level of medical competence in the urology field. I fully trust him with his prescribed regimen for my monster prostate, the source of a complete urinary blockage. I didn't have a urologist until my local hospital Emergency Room treated me and referred me to Dr.Chesson. Thankfully, they led me to an outstanding doctor!

An excellent surgeon. Cuts no corners; really cares about patients' health!

I was seen in the ER last Wednesday night and referred to Dr. Chessons office. I had a friend who used to work for him and asked her advice and she said that he was a good doctor and I should definitely go see him. I called his office multiple times before finally getting an answer Friday morning about 10am. I spoke to Adrienne who was quite short with me and after getting my name and phone number she told me she would have to ask Dr. Chesson if he would even see me since I wasn't already a patient, said she would call me back and rudely hung up on me. No surprise that she never called back. I have been in a lot of pain and still having issues but decided to give them a chance to call today since his office was closed at noon friday. Still never heard back and don't get an answer when I call. It's a shame because I hear he is a good doctor but having experienced this part of his office staff, I will pass on going there and will go elsewhere.

I consider Dr. Chesson amongst the best Doctors I have ever met. I have been a patient of Dr. Chesson for less than one year; however, he has remedied a lingering Kidney Stone problem that a previous Doctor had failed twice in attempting to remedy. The operation Dr Chesson conducted to take out the Kidney Stones has given me a new lease on life. If you have a lingering Kidney Stone health problem, then you need to see Dr. Chesson, You will not be disappointed!

Dr. Chesson is very good. However, he consistently runs 45 to an hour late, with no explanation, or advice from staff as to reason for lateness.
