Truly Grateful for Dr. Shichman After 17 years, I needed a second partial nephrectomy on my right kidney, and I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon than Dr. Shichman, who did the first surgery. His expertise, precision, and genuine care made all the difference. From the initial consultation to recovery, he explained everything clearly, answered every question, and made me feel completely confident and supported. The complex surgery went smoothly, and my recovery has been remarkable. It’s clear that Dr. Schichman is not only highly skilled but also deeply dedicated to his patients’ well-being. I’m profoundly grateful for his care and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone in need of a world-class urologic surgeon. Tom Cuprys Norwalk, CT

I had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. Shichman, and I can’t speak highly enough of the experience. From the very first consultation, it was clear that Dr. Shichman brings not only deep medical expertise but also a rare level of compassion and attentiveness. He thoroughly explained the procedure — every step, every option, and every possible outcome. He made sure I felt informed and empowered, never rushed or overwhelmed. My concerns were heard, my questions were welcomed, and decisions were made with my well-being at the center. During a particularly difficult time, Dr. Shichman showed genuine empathy and kindness that went far beyond clinical care. It made all the difference. In a world where healthcare can sometimes feel impersonal, Dr. Shichman reminded me what true patient-centered care looks like.

Dr Shichman was with another patient so Coniff the APRN said we would get started. She reviewed new scan and went over other information. When I asked questions about change from prior scans she deftly brought them up to compare. She asked questions about lifestyle and dietary habits. At that time Dr Shickman came and joined us. He was given a synopsis by Coniff and we chatted some about my little worries and both were patient and helpful. I love going to this office because everyone is cheerful and patient. Great doctor and staff.
