When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer I found myself facing something nobody wants to face. Once I digested the news I tried to educate myself as to the options etc. I also had to decide on a doctor and a hospital. Besides the cancer diagnosis I have an autoimmune that I feared could complicate my cancer treatment. My wife & I spoke with a couple of doctors and decided to keep looking. I contacted MSK and made an appointment with Dr. Touijer. When speaking with Dr Touijer we felt a sense of relief that this would be okay and that he was the right doctor to perform the surgery. He is very knowledgable, compassionate, and explained everything clearly and thoroughly. His care team is also excellent and also bring a human element to the process. I cannot say enough good things about the entire process, from the weeks leading up to the surgery, the day of, and the post-op care. My wife felt well informed with updates during the surgery. The surgery is a complicated one and you want a doctor who knows what they are doing. Dr. Touijer and MSK were the right choice and I've never regretted making the choice to trust him with my future.
