I live in Irvine California. Phoenix, AZ would be closer and I also have friends and relatives there. I would go to Rochester if there is a better doctor in Rochester. I will have only chance to get it right.!

I have seen the video. I have a portal at Mayo clinic Phoenix. Waiting for an intake coordinator to contact me. I would like to get an appointment with Dr Sameer Keole as soon as possible.
Is there any way you suggest to speed up the process?

Hi Ava11, I'm not sure of your situation. I had proton beam therapy at Phoenix, but it was over 5 years ago. When I decided to use proton therapy, I contacted them to be a patient. They requested my biopsy, which was 4+4 Gleason score. After they got the results, I was accepted within a week and had an appointment within another week. They did MRI to ensure the cancer was contained in the prostrate. After it was confirmed no spread, I began ADT and proton therapy in 2 months. I just finished my 5 year checkup and PSA is >.10 and in good shape.

My experience with Phoenix Mayo is the most knowledgeable, professional and client oriented staff I've ever had with any medical facility. I can't speak to the situation now, but I would try and use them again.
