Q: I need a prostate expert for laser surgery in the Los Angeles area. thx
Most urologists are performing these procedures routinely. This procedure is very similar to all the other procedures on the prostate which Urologists have been performing for years. Speak to your Urologist about thier familiarity with the procedure. Additionally ask friends about Urologists that htey have used for these procedures. The website from American Medical Systems (the manufacturer of the Green Light Laser) also lists physicians who have experience with this procedure.
I would reccomend Dr. Thomas Bogaard(urologist). He does Green Light pv procedure that is safe with minor temporary after affects. Much better than Turp. I've not seen him but he was highly rec. by another DR. for this particular procedure. He has done many and you want someone whose done alot of these procedures. In researching for my own enlarged prostate situation, this is the route I would take if I opt for surgery. I am opting to try Flomax first.(medicine) I also take two excellent supplements(my opinion, of course) for regular health of prostate. 1) ' ultra natural prostate' from Life Extension Foundation and 'Zyflamend' from New Chapter. Both have internet sites. Hope this helps.
