Chris B. Threatt, M.D.

Dr. Threatt is an amazing doctor and surgeon! It’s been almost 1 year since he removed my diseased kidneys (polycystic kidney disease) from my body. He made it seem so easy! I thought to myself he talks about it’s a morning cup of coffee?!? But it was that easy for him. He was highly referred to me by many colleges outside of his network «he’s the best». He put me at ease and that’s not easy. I had read the bad review someone left him and grilled him about it, lol. Obviously he passed my test. Although, I will agree that wait periods in the office are long and if he wasn’t worth it, I would have walked away. Dr. Treatt freed me of my chronic pain, renewing my lease on life after recovery. He stitched my stomach precisely with 120 stitches 3(?)levels. He promised me my scar wouldn’t look bad and he delivered. It’s as straight as can be and as small as can be. I would recommend Dr. Threatt to anyone, he’s honest and does the job right the 1^st time! Oh, and since Sequoia is not a teaching hospital my surgery took half the time. Btw: the treatment I received from Sequoia hospital has been the best to date and I’ve been an overnight patient almost all the main hospitals here in the SF Bay Area. Thank you Dr. Threatt, I will see you after I get a kidney. You are forever a huge part of my reason for being alive!

Dr. Chris Threatt treated my aging Dad with the utmost care and concern. He explained in more detail than previous doctors (and to me and my siblings satisfaction) what the test results revealed. He eased our cause for unwarranted concerns. He was kind, courteous and the icing on the cake was seeing Dr. Threatt assisting my Dad in walking down the corridor from the exam room to the lobby area. It brought tears to my eyes. Our family loves Dr. Chris Threatt!

Great doctor with sense of humor…
He did Prostate laser enucleation (40%) on me + removal of stones from my bladder.
No post surgery pain at all — excellent job — 3^rd day after surgery I was perfect. TY Dr. Threatt…

Dr. Threatt was very friendly but I found him to be lacking in professionalism and proper medical judgement. (1) He took over 30 mins with me and all we did was TALK and it was so long that someone had to knock to let him know he needed to move onto the next patient. In the 30 mins, he also pulled out his phone to show me pictures of his entire family. r-​e-​a-​l-​l-​y?! (2) I had come in thinking I had a stone but since no tests were done, it really could be anything. I told him I was feeling sick but he side stepped the issue completely and didn’t bother taking my temp. (3) I felt even worse when I got home and realized that he only took a urine sample and cultures would take a while to come back. I called the office asking if I should start on an antibiotic as a precaution in case it was an infection. (4) I call the office the next morning saying his sample pain med didn’t make me feel good and to prescribe motrin liquid. he somehow sent a script for a narcotic! I work in healthcare; I can’t be on narcotics on the job! And yes, he KNEW this as we talked about my profession a lot in the 30 mins as well.
I am shocked at how negligent this doctor is. I shouldn’t have to do his job for him! He really should’ve considered all possibilities and taken preventative measures, than to let me go with a pain med that I can’t swallow and nothing else. On top of this, the office staff told me I could only come back in 2 weeks because the cultures take that long to get back. I wonder what he would’ve done if it was in fact an infection and I had to go to the ER because I didn’t have any antibiotics?!
I really wanted to like him due to all the great reviews but my experience was definitely not something to be happy about!

I recently had kidney stones and needed to go to the emergency room at Sequoia Hospital because of extreme pain. After being sedated and the pain was under control I was fortunate that Dr. Chis Threatt was on call for consultation to discuss next steps. I wanted to give it a chance to pass on its own but the stone was too large and after waiting several weeks it simply did not.
After another visit with Dr. Threatt we decided to move forward with the procedure to break up the stones. He was very attentive to my concerns and took all the time needed to make me comfortable with the process. Everything went smoothly as expected. I highly recommend Dr. Threatt…

Both Drs. Threatt & Bruno are fantastic.
Between a kidney stone and prostate issues, they have been great doctors. Just went through an operation with Dr. Bruno with no problems.
They’re pretty busy, presumably because they’re good.

A woman who needs a urologist? Yes, sometimes we do and there is none better than Dr. Threatt. (I understand his partner/​colleague Dr. Bruno is also great) He listens to his patients, cares deeply for them and helps solve the problems you came to see him for. I see Dr. Threatt because my husband is also his patient. Those of us on the peninsula have a lot of really fine doctors to choose from and Dr. Threatt is at the top of the list. How good is he? Two of my other doctors see him – that says a great deal.

My husband went to Chris Threatt on the recommendation of his general practitioner for an elevated PSA. It turned out to be prostate cancer, and because of the excellent work of Dr. Threatt and his partner, Dr. Bruno, my husband received highly competent, appropriate care with a large dose of kindness and reassurance. He had a great outcome and is cancer free over two years later.
The practice is in the wealthy community of Atherton, but don’t be intimidated by the address. Dr. Threatt was respectful and never spoke down to us. He had a good sense of humor and knew how to put us at ease. The office staff is great. I agree with Rob, I hope you never have to see a urologist, but if you do, this is the guy to go to.
