Thanks for the reply...
But still wondering how do you find the surgeon? Did you google? If so, what did you google for specifically?
Just wish there was a list of Drs that provide this surgery & how many surgeries they’ve performed...

Good morning jpatt2020. We asked for a referral from a local urologist. He only did about 4 surgeries a month and they were not robotic. He did the MRI and knew what was necessary. He wanted the best for his patient. Remember that at Mayo Clinic, clinicians are salaried. There is no reason for competition. In addition, your team is always your team for any treatment or procedure. They get to know you and you as the patient get to trust them. The education and accomplishments of everyone are available for you. You can find the list of surgeons on mayoclinic.org. Use the filter for radical prostatectomy. There will be a biographical summary, conditions treated, procedures performed and research interest. Have some joy today. Chris
