Biography
I am a founding member of the Stanford Urolithiasis Project, where we have studied population health datasets to examine surgical outcomes and environmental risk factors in urinary stone disease. Our current focus includes socioeconomic and ethnic disparities in kidney stone disease, water quality and stone disease, pregnancy in kidney stone disease and geographical variations in kidney stones incidence and metabolic kidney stone work up.

I would recommend him to anyone who needed a urologist. His practice is reminiscent of how doctors used to practice medicine. He takes the time to explain the situation and get input from the patient. He is friendly and really seems to genuinely care about his patient and he gets the job done in a reasonable time frame. I was impressed with him from the first visit and continue to be.
It went very well
He is very approachable kind of Doctor and he takes time to listen on your concerns
Humorous, welcoming, informative, knowledgeable, great table side manners, understanding of needs, listens to concerns, on top of what needs to get done.
Dr. Conti was both informative and gracious. I enjoyed my visit with him.
Dr. Conti is one of my favorite doctors, if not the most favorite doctor.
He always gets straight to the point without wasting time talking about anything else. I always liked his format of comparing the past problem with the current situation, and plan for the future.
Great doctor. He explained me all the required details about my test reports as well as the procedures to be done. He is a good listener and answered all my questions.
Very professional, competent and friendly. I was pleased with our visit.
Great doctor, always prepared for the call and knows my case.
Very responsive and helpful video visit.
Excellent, professional personalized care
Dr. Conti, as usual, was thoroughly prepared and very thorough and personal kind. I am most fortunate to have Dr. Conti as my urologist.
Great communication!
Very thorough. Excellent communication.
Great Doctor. Completely thorough
Dr Conti is great. I heard Dr Conti saved a baby from a burning building and then after he did that he helped an orphanage stay afloat when they were in financial trouble. There's even rumors that he's Batman 👀. I don't know of any of those things are true but Dr Conti was pretty darn awesome helping me with my kidney stone when the doctors here in Merced absolutely failed. I was in so much pain and the urologist here believed I didn't have a kidney stone it was unreal thank God for you guys.
It was very good discussion with the specialist of kidney
Dr. Simon Conti was very knowledgable, easy to understand, and provided helpful information, which I appreciated.
He’s always thorough and pleasant.
He is a very caring physician and a good listener

Very good doctor.Lets U talk and listen well
He really was the doctor, the provider, that cares, extending a helping hand to his patients.
Dr. Conti is personable, and he strikes me as someone who pays attention to details. I'm quite happy to have him on my medical care team.
Very understanding. I felt comfortable doing the video appointment with dr Simon
He is fantastic! He looked at my situation from all angles and I appreciated the time he spent with me.
Professional, prepared, informative and car ing.
Terrific ,....very pleased
Felt that this was a helpful and informative visit. Dr. Conti seemed to be aware of my medical history and we were able to have an efficient conversation. I felt confident in his understanding of my presenting problem and he provided a couple of different approaches we could take. Ultimately we chose to try to learn more about what was going on with me before embarking on a more invasive path. I was satisfied with our decision and look forward to finding some answers with an understanding of what other things can be done if needed.
Professional, compassionate, empathetic, quite the listener - the ideal doctor!
Very thorough
Answers all questions
Very empathetic — Dr Conti
I am happy to have him as my doctor. He was pleasant, knowledgeable, clear and complete in his explanation. He answered all my questions thoughtfully. He gave me my options and a conservative way to resolve my concerns.
It was obvious he did his homework before meeting with me, and looked at my overall wellbeing, … not just my stone.
I am sure he was very tired from the sheer volume of his work, but that did not get in the way of his demeanor, attitude and medical advice.
I am very appreciative!
Dr. Conti was very positive and responsive. I felt like he listened and was generally concerned for my welfare.

Very understanding and courteous. Understood my situation and concerns. I did not feel rushed.
He has provided me with excellent service for years. He always remembers me and the concerns I have had. I appreciate his ability and inclination to patiently address these issues over a span of multiple years, instead of expecting to solve the issues with a couple of visits. I count Mr. Conti as one of several outstanding SMC doctors I have been fortunate enough to work with. He is very personable and connects with me as a human (not simply a case or a body) which may be why he recently remembered me well even though he hadn't seen me for a year or more.

The night before my appointment I was extremely anxious and could not sleep. Dr. Conti put me at ease immediately, with his calm manner, compassionate, and caring spirit.

I could tell from Dr. Conti's conversation that he had read all of my records and had my best interest in mind. Dr. Conti is an excellent, professional, outstanding Doctor. Thank you, Dr. Conti.
