Is he the doc who gives second opinions on prostate biopsies?

Luminary in the PCa pathology field, if I'm understanding correctly.

Maybe expertise in Pathology doesn't translate into getting along with subordinates?

Could also have been caught in someone else's issues.

This case is strange, Chesapeake Urology said there is no proof of any of their pathologists exerting influence over the JH pathology department, they were submitted for independent review only. So, if the reviews coincided with the findings why would they be pressured to change it.? So if you have a legitimate case against the diagnosis that should be discussed. I was in the medical profession for 40+ years and I noticed a lot of physicians don't like getting to the bottom of things, they just want to be right.

JH provided a second opinion re my 20 core UCSF

biopsy three weeks ago, signed by Andres Meaoso, M.D.

JH was consistent with the UCSF report except Dr. Matoso

upgraded one core from a 4+3 to a 4+4.

wow. He was the Bible for second opinions on biopsy slides for diagnosing Gleason scores! I actually flew up to JH to get my RP surgery from Dr Schaeffer.

Not what you're looking for?
