Can you select your Mayo surgeon?

Biopsy performed in Ohio showed Gleason 3+4=7 at age 73. Went to Mayo-Rochester for a second opinion with Dr. Igor Frank regarding treatment options (I had requested Dr. Frank based on solely on internet information). Decided on surgery and underwent bilateral nerve-sparing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy performed by Dr. Frank in March 2023. Just short of 1 year post-surgery I am 99% continent (very infrequent, very small leaks), completely satisfied with erectile function and have undetectable PSA to this point. Dr. Frank and his team have provided excellent care from A to Z. I feel very blessed to have found Mayo-Rochester and in particular, Dr. Frank, who I most highly recommend to anyone evaluating his prostate cancer treatment options.

Thank you for your reply. Did you stay in Minnesota until your catheter was removed? Who provides your follow up care? Local urologist or Mayo?
