UCI Urology | Orange County Kidney Stone Center

Dr. Patel spent time discussing various aspects of the procedure to remove several stones in my bladder which were 9mm in size. The procedure was successful.

Dr. Clayman and his medical team are exceptional, in every way. Truly, I feel blessed to be in his care. Over the years, he and the staff, working along side of him, have helped me in so many ways --not the least of which was surgically removing an exceptionally large and painful kidney stone. Dr. Clayman is a "top Doctor," and a huge asset to UCI Medical Center.

My mother had a history of repeated bladder infections that were determined to be caused by kidney stones. Dr Clayman was very proactive in diagnosing this difficult ailment, and subsequently performing 2 complicated surgeries to remove them. He followed her closely, and even took an at-home emergency call when her lungs developed complications afterward, calling the hospital ahead of our arrival to alert the team of her case. He has taken every step necessary and beyond to care for her, followed her closely now for 2 years post op with her most recent clear CT scans. She is now fully recovered and doing exceedingly well without any new stones. She will not need any follow up for 2 years, which is a major success. I can’t thank Dr. Clayman enough for his expertise with her case, his professional and warm manner, and for caring about her welfare.

Dr. Clayman and his Kidney Stone Center is impressive; everything works like clockwork. The key to this successful organization is Dr. Ralph Clayman; he is known as one of the best urologists in the country technically and in patient care. In addition, he is a great mentor and this I've experienced personally. I thank God everyday for him.

Fantastic service. Dr. Patel was wonderful. He was caring and gentle and was a pleasure to work with under the most difficult circumstance (kidney stones)- he always made eye contact with me and held my hand (almost literally) throughout the process- The staff were equally caring. You seem to train your employees very well......because in reality is...... No one cares what you know, until they know that you care!!! You guys did and I am grateful!!!!
