Feeling cared for

Dr. Matsunaga has always gone the extra mile. Make himself available to help me with my complicated travel schedule.
Dr. Matsunaga and his staff make me feel like a family member and not just another patient or a number.

omg Dr. Matsunaga is THE BEST

i seriously never had a doctor this chill, cool, and funny with great charisma. At the beginning during the call, he explains everything clearly and in laymon terms which is very appreciated. During surgery, he is very communicative during the WHOLE process. I had follow up of my procedure that gave me anxiety and the way he presents and explains eases me and relieves me with little effort. so from start to finish, i would absolutely recommend him and trust him with my balls.

My experience was exceptional

Dr. Matsunaga was very knowledgeable, courteous, and found the solution to my problem. I now am able to have a restful nights sleep and not have the urges to seek a bathroom all the time. I am able to control my urgency. Thank you very much Dr. Matsunaga and staff for all your courtesies.

Dr. Matsunaga saved my life - literally. His diagnosis was spot on!

Dr. Matsunaga is one of the kindest Doctors I have experienced. He is professional, extremely thorough and really cares about his patients. He explains everything in great detail and takes the time to answer any questions and calm any concerns I had. His staff is very organized, kind and courteous. I went through a very scary time in my life but felt like I was in the best hands with Dr. Matsunaga. I have recommended him to a friend that is looking for a second opinion. Thank you for helping me!!!

Uro Lift Experience

I am a 52 year male diagnosed with BPH 6-7 years ago and dealt with the standard meds that helped at the begining but then don't. Meeting Dr. Matsunaga and going throgh the Uro Lift procedure has improved my quality of life tremendously.

I use to get up 2 to 4 times with meds. Its been 3 months since my procedure and I can sometimes go through the night without getting up and sometimes get up 1 time. Quality of sleep is awesome. Thanks Dr. Matsunaga

Prostrate Urolift Procedure!!

Dr. Garrett Matsunaga is a very excellent and professional doctor. My husband has been his patient for around five years and we have nothing but good things to say about him. He is very respectful and takes the time with us during all visits. My husband had developed prostrate problems and Dr. Matsunaga has worked with us to make him well again.
He has recently performed the Urolift procedure on my husband and it turned out very well.
Thanks to Dr. Matsunaga my husband is felling back to normal.
