Hi Beachcomber,
My experiences with the Hutch have all been excellent. Several years prior to my diagnosis, my wife had colorectal cancer. She was diagnosed and began treatmet with a different medical group/hospital. We didn't care for the MO, neurologist (she had a chemo induced stroke) and surgeon we saw initially. I called UW Medicine South Lake Union (then called Seattle Cancer Care Alliance) and arranged for her to be seen. The care she received from her team was incredible. She just finished her 5 year scan and is considered cured.

My experience has been every bit as good. My RO is Dr. Jonathan Chen and GU Oncologist is Todd Yezefski. Both great and have incredible PAs. If you contact a PA named Jen Flannery at either South Lake Union or the Proton Center, she woulld be a good initial contact for you. You can let her know you got her name from Bill at the PCa Support Group. My suggestion is to review the RO and GU bios available at each of the UW Medicine sites: Montlake, Proton Center and South Lake Union. You can get a feel for each doctor's areas of special focus and read patient comments. I also like to look up what research they have been involved with and what additional roles they fill at the UW Medicine. Finally, request either a telehealth or in person appointment for an introductory Q and A session. Finding doctors that you feel good aboutt is essential! If you have other questions, please let me know. Best wishes to you! You've got this!
Bill
