I can't thank Dr. Landman enough! My mom had a HUGE cancerous tumor (approx 6" long) on her left kidney and Dr. Landman Successfully removed it laparoscopically! Backstory: My mom's original referral through her PCP sent her to a urologist that never dealt with a case like this in his almost 30 years of practice- he was going to pair up with another in his office and even then, said depending on what it might be attached to they might have to just rope it off and stitch her back up. they were going to have to cut her entire side open, front and back. We initially scheduled the surgery but just didn't have a peace about it. I searched online for someone that specialized in kidney cancers and I heard great things about UCI. I ended up choosing Dr. Landman but we went through MONTHS of jumping through hoops to get my mom's insurance to allow a 2nd opinion with him due to being outside of her medical group and that his practice is not a standalone practice but under UCI hospital. Well we got denied, still pushed for an appeal, months later we got it approved just for the 2nd opinion. We finally had our consult with Dr. Landman and I KNEW it was worth the wait and hours on the phone with health insurance to push for the right Dr. He was Definitely the right Dr! He explained they are more rare but the last large tumor he dealt with was a month prior. He wasn't sure if he could complete it laparoscopically but would try that route and had an alt dr. on standby. I thought we would have to jump through many more hoops to get the surgery performed because my mom's insurance made it clear they were ONLY approving the consult and not the surgery. But his office was so efficient, they got it approved and it was clearly a case that not just some run of the mill "specialist" can perform. Dr. Landman is a caring and compassionate Dr. and he is SKILLED at what he does. He was able to perform it laparoscopically on his own! The tumor grew with her intestines wrapping around it. Very tight fit. He had to maneuver things around and fold the intestines off but he did it! She's left with 4 laparoscopic holes(closed of course) and one suture that he went over a previous scar from an emergency c-section. She healed way faster than I'm sure it would have taken with a standard open surgery. And I'm sure any other doctor would have probably removed a portion of her intestines to get it out. Dr. Landman was able to let her keep all her other organs and her adrenal gland and removed the left kidney and tumor as one piece. We've prayed for months for the Lord to guide us to the right doctor and open the door. We've had others say this needs to come out asap and that she shouldn't wait for this Dr., that we are wasting our time. I'm glad we didn't listen although it's scary making that decision in the moment. Now that she had the surgery a month ago, looking back I see the Lord did guide us. And many times we got so discouraged at how complex the insurance process was but we never gave up hope! Praise the Lord for guiding us to Dr. Landman and giving him the skill to help others as well as the desire! He fit us in on his day off right before a holiday even! We were told from one of the nurses that people come from all over the nation to UCI and I see why. It was a night and day experience even the hospital experience as a whole was great. And I have to say I am one that doesn't typically trust many doctors or hospitals for that matter, as I've seen a lot of things go south and bad choices being made under the name of "healthcare." But UCI and Dr. Landman have earned my trust for sure. Thanks again Dr. Landman, staff and all the many nurses that helped. We are forever grateful.

I have never felt rushed, hurried and that he was put off by my sometimes silly but important questions regarding my condition. If there were 10 stars........
Dr. Landman completed kidney cancer surgery on my dad close to 6-7 years ago now and I was impressed with his bedside manner, experience, knowledge and most importantly his confidence. Little did I know that I would end up having kidney cancer surgery most recently. I have found that in speaking with Dr. Landman he is direct, to the point and is willing to answer any question about what the procedure entails. We went into my operation with a very low probability of being able to walk out of surgery with both of my kidneys in tact. Dr. Landman performed nothing short of a miracle as he was able to remove the cancer and save my kidney, which I am truly thankful to have him as my doctor.
Dr. Landman is an excellent doctor. He has been very professional in helping me through my kidney cancer diagnosis, surgery and recovery. His bedside manner is empathic and genuine. He has taken time to answer questions and talk to me as if I have been his friend for years. Dr. Landman continues to monitor a few risks I'm still dealing with. We have discussed scenarios and available options. I trust him implicitly.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Landman, in less than on hour he performed a kidney stone removal surgery as an outpatient at UCI, I was highly recommended to him after suffering 2 botched surgeries and many days interned in two other hospitals.I thank Dr. Landman for everything he has done for me He is a wonderful, caring doctor who was always friendly and comforting to his patients. He truly make a difference in the medical field with his amazing staff.
One the best doctor I have ever met, kind, compassionate, his knowledge and communication is amazing.........I am very glad to be able to meet Dr, Landman.......Thank you very much for everything......
The wait was about 5 minutes if that, and was politely greeted and shown to a room. Also another 5 minutes or less wait and was treated with friendliness and respect. They bent over backwards to get us the help we needed and everything has gone well. We know and feel reassured the best care possible.
Skilled knowledgeable kidney surgeon. Good personality with ability to discuss technical details at the patient level.
I felt that the facility was very nice and that I saw Dr. Landman very promptly once I arrived at the facility. I thought that Dr. Landman's examination was thorough and that he clearly presented his opinion on my condition to me.
Dr. Landman and his staff are nothing short of professional. Parking was easy and the building very easy to find.
