Choose a medical center that is classified " center of excellence". Find out how many prostatectomies the surgeon does each year. We traveled to Mayo Rochester from AZ, choosing a surgeon who does robotic assisted prostatectomy again and again .... its his specialty. My husband saw Dr. Matt Tollefson and we could not be more pleased with the outcome. Agree with others, kegals are so important. We trusted the care team, our wonderful support network of family/friends and left it in God's hands. Still do, nearly 1 year post surgery.
Best of luck to you as you start this journey!

My husband is considering a doctor in Jacksonville Florida for surgery and we live in Maryland. Can you share the logistics of your travel? Did you fly? How long did you stay? Wasn’t it uncomfortable travelling with a catheter? Did you travel back to get your catheter taken out or any follow-up visits?
