Anyone have experiences with Dr. Quevedo at Mayo: Align with Kwon?

Posted by jbnewby1313 @jbnewby1313, Feb 17 3:06pm

I have done a lot of research and I really like Dr. Kwon and Dr. Heath, their philosophies and course of treatments. I have scheduled my first appointment for March. Does anyone have experience with any of these doctors that you could share? Is there a way to see different doctors' philosophies other than reading their publications? I realize each patient care is individualized. I am particularly interested in triple therapy.

Was your Arpn Christine? Kwons team is exceptional. Personally the reading of the pet scan was 3x more thorough than the K U team I had. They picked up a left maxillary sinus enlargement which I feared to be metastasizing pc. Turned out to be sensitive to antibiotics and was cured by a root canal. They read my outside previous scans and one by one pronounced each prior concern to be resolved. They found and commented on each of my old cowboy fractures. I thought his team was the best I have yet encountered. You have to figure him to be largely administrative with 8k patients or more. I will continue using them for scans.

I agree that the "Kwon team" is exceptional, especially Christine and Amy. Or maybe I should say the females on the team are exceptional in our experience. There is one male RN who is not, either in person or when he answers messages posted on the portal. Luckily, he doesn't answer nearly as often as the other members of the team.

Are you also getting a PSMA Pet scan? That is better at finding metastasis on your body than an MRI. The MRI can be really useful for Finding metastasis inside the prostate

I already had a PSMA Pet. The cancer appeared to be only in my prostate this time.
