Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / April 2008Stanford
My internist has recommended that I get parallel attacks going, just in case UC bureaucracy is too unwieldy. Anyone have any caveats about Stanford? Who to, and who not to, ask for? I've heard their aftercare program has significant problems with staff morale. Feedback? Dwight I had an excellent experience at Stanford when I went for a second (actually a third) opinion. I saw Dr. Brooks who is one of the half dozen or so urology gurus in the country only three days after my initial phone call. I didn't have them do my surgery since I was mostly interested in laparoscopic surgery which they were not doing at the time (2003) but I would have no qualms about going there again if the need were to arise. My cousin's husband had bladder cancer and someone there, I don't know who, removed his cancerous bladder and made a new one and cousin's hubby is doing well four years later. I don't know anything about their aftercare program but everything I saw and experienced was first rate.

Brooks was my Dr. in 1999. I would recommend Stanford. I have no significant problems with Stanford or the Staff. I was treated very well, and felt at all times that my care was #1. Several others have gone to Stanford as well. You can make an appointment with Dr. Brooks, bring in your case history/slides/lab work, and ask for his opinion. jloomis RP AGE 49 IN 1999 PSA tests have been less than 0.01 since. no problems with incontinence and or ED issues......... > My internist has recommended that I get parallel attacks going, just in > case UC bureaucracy is too unwieldy.

Sorry, I'm on information overwhelm over here. I forgot. Dwight No worries, it is not easy to wade through all the information and come up floating........... So many things, but once you find a satisfactory path, the rest of the journey comes much easier....... The reason I did like Dr. Brooks is because of the way he reached out, and said point blank, "I can help you" I got chills in my body from that moment, and we shook hands and I felt like I was on the right direction.... jloomis >> Dr. James D.
