Who are the leading practitioners of SBRT in Seattle or where do i have to go to get the best? Does Seattle have a top notch Dr? I saw something about Dr Chris King no longer at UCLA, so where do i find him?

Thanks for any help.

In my humble opinion, you need a great doctor to increase your odds but you don’t have to travel the earth to find a great doctor. Seattle is a modern major city with lots of great medical centers. A urology professor there is going to take care of you as well as one at UCLA. I went to Penn State Milton Hershey. I probably could have gone an hour further to a John Hopkins but Hershey was great. The doctor was great. The team was great.

The leading doctors all collaborate on the latest and greatest treatments and unless you are a completely unique case you are probably just fine without seeking out the best doctor in the world. And there is something to be said for working with someone nearer your house.

Just my two cents.

Along these lines, is UCLA stil one of the best facilities for SBRT in Calif? Are there good providers in Northern Calif?
