Prostate Oncologist recommendations in Vegas?

We moved to southern Utah a year ago and the trips back to Michigan every three months for doc visits, tests and shots are becoming too much for my guy. Does anyone know of a good doc in Las Vegas or even Salt Lake? (History - M was diagnosed 18 months ago with all cores positive, Gleason 10, pelvic node, some vesicle and bladder involvement. He had radiation and is currently on that triple Erleada adt therapy, but I don’t have the other specific med names in front of me. His is currently responding well with no detectable PSA.)

Traveling is hard on him though, and while we do see fam back in Michigan, we’d like to explore closer options.

This site and all of you are a continuous source of knowledge and encouragement you us. Thank you very much. Valerie

I don't know who took over Nick Vogelzang's practice at the Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada, but if he's half as good, he's excellent.

At Huntman, Neeraj Agarwal and Manish Kohli are good choices.

Thank you. It helps to see names recommended here over just finding them on a google search. 🙂

I'll add a vote for Dr. Neeraj Agarwal at Huntsman Cancer Institute - superb medical oncologist and Huntsman is an awesome facility.

Most in LAS who were with Dr. Vogelzang seem to be going to Dr. Oscar B. Goodman, Comprehensive Cancer Center.
