About Me

Dr. Donald Feeney has spent the majority of his professional career as a practicing Urologist as well as teaching as a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois College of Medicine. His clinical practice experience however has been much wider. After graduating from Cornell Medical College and serving a surgical internship at the Yale Medical University hospital, he returned to the Cornell-NY Hospital Medical Center to begin a residency in OB-GYN. Military service intervened and Dr. Feeney spent two years in the US Air Force in Japan practicing obstetrics/gynecology. Upon completing his military commitment, he changed specialties and completed a three-year residency in Urology at the Mayo Clinic. For the next 34 years he practiced and taught Urology in Illinois. After retiring from clinical practice, he was an Assistant Medical Director at the Wellpoint Health Corporation in Chicago. Most recently he has been a consultant for Quality Assurance at an inner city clinic serving the needs of uninsured and underserved patients in the Greater Chicago area. Dr. Feeney Writes: I have always believed that informing both my patients and their loved ones of the details, options, likely and unlikely outcomes, and alternative treatments to their health problems is the best way to help them navigate the uncertainty of any disease. This is especially true for diseases and conditions involving the prostate and related organs. Men, perhaps more than women, tend to keep their anxieties and fears to themselves. Explaining in easily understood language to them and their loved ones should be one of the mainstays of managing their disease and all the associated changes it may make in their and their loved ones' lives. I would hope that my writing with this goal in mind will help those men and their extended family and significant friends. Donald P. Feeney, MD
