No. At the time Mayo Phoenix was not taking Medicare. They now take Medicare but not Medicare Advantage. I switched to Mayo after my surgery. I see a Dr Wolter for my after surgery issues. I used a Urologist out of Mesa Az that is part of the Banner Health. I am not the best of patients. Dr insisted I monitor a 3+3 with a 1.2 PSA. I refused and requested he remove it. Like you my father had it at an early age and died from it years later. But he was 87. I figured at 68 and healthy I might as well get it out. I could always treat it later with other procedures. But its usually not possible to use nerve sparring to remove it after other treatments.
