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

Posted by jbnewby1313 @jbnewby1313, 6 days ago

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.

Thank you for your detailed response. Yes, I have done quite a lot of research and feel very strongly about the information and research coming out of the Prostrate Cancer Research Institute (PCRI) and the Mayo Clinic. Without sharing too much, my PSA has gone up .1 every month. My current doctor wants to wait until it gets to 10 (!!) before doing anything, so yes, I am seeking a second opinion. I am grateful to hear that Dr. Quevedo was matched to me based on my initial needs. As a coach and athlete I appreciate the team reference.

Glad the team metaphor was well placed. This will be a different coaching experience, but be rest assured that you’re the head coach who gets to make the final play decisions after input from all the assistant coaches and players. You call the shots!

I have been a wrestling and football coach for over 30 years. A head coach for almost all of that time. I get it and I hope that we all can make it happen. Thanks
