Back in Arizona, need to find doctors..

10 Replies

Hi all and thank you in advance.

I need to find a whole new set of docs. Most urgently, an internist and a Uro or MO. It turns out from previous selections I have made by myself that I AM A REALLY BAD DOCTOR PICKER. lol

My status: I had 25 shots of EBRT and brachy boost. So I need someone to monitor me. Maybe I should just get an MO at this point? Idk.

Any suggestions welcome.

Oh that facility is no longer Cancer Treatment Center of America?

Who is your normal/regular doctor? Do you like him/her?

the best radiation oncologist is Dr. Gordon Grado swoncology.net/ you definitely want him on your team…ask him for who he recommends for an MO and urologist.

There's MD Anderson with multiple sites in the Valley.

Yes I've noticed the MD Anderson and checked out their website. But see so many docs and Im not sure which to choose. Any names there you recognise?

I see Dr Dave in Sun City. But she communicates with all MD Anderson on treatment plans so, it's a collective.

I go to Vegas. Vegas Urology

They have a very good team of doctors including MO

My Northern Arizona doctors sent me there. Said that was the best for me.

Down side the drive, but many times it’s a teleconference reviewing my blood and scan results from Arizona. Works for me.

Hi jjpeabody, I actually left the Mayo guys off that list (they are on Castle Connolly) because they don't accept my insurance and I dont have the resources to deal with them.
