Anyone have any experience with NYU Langone?

I am currently considering prostate surgery at NYU Langone and would greatly appreciate hearing about anyone’s personal experiences with both the surgical team and the facility overall.

In particular, I would love insight into:

* Your experience with the surgeon and their communication style
* How often your surgeon performs prostatectomies
* Recovery time and post-operative care
* Pain management after surgery
* Catheter experience and how long it remained in place
* Urinary continence outcomes and recovery timeline
* Erectile function recovery and what rehabilitation options were offered
* Whether nerve-sparing surgery was possible in your case
* The quality of nursing care and hospital staff responsiveness
* Scheduling, coordination, and overall organization of the process
* Whether you felt well-informed before making your decision
* Any unexpected challenges or things you wish you had asked beforehand

I’m also interested in hearing how NYU Langone compares to other major centers people may have consulted with.

Any experiences, recommendations, or advice would be sincerely appreciated as I work through this important decision. Thank you.
