Has anyone had experience with Dr. Robert Adler, Northwestern Memorial or Dr. Areih Shavlov from the University of Chicago.

I am just beginning my journey and this seem like  great site to learn.

Interested in any experiences with either of these locations and Doc's.  I am very impressed so far with both. Dr. Adler may have done 200 and Dr. Shavlov may have done 3,000, although I find that amazing.

I am 53 years old

2004-?prostitis PSA 8, biopsy negative

2008-? prositis PSA 6, biopsy positive

Prostate size 39.5 cm

1 in 3 cores

Gleason 3+3= 6

PSA 6

T1C

Bones scan clear and Wet CT clear

Looking strongly at good Robotics Hospital and Doctor

Frank,
Welcome to the best site on the internet for support. You will get some feedback on the Chicago doctors soon. My oncologist N. Vogelzang here in Vegas is from the University of Chicago, he used to be the director of the cancer center. He is all over the internet and regarded as one of the best prostate cancer doctors on the planet. If the doctors there are anything like he has been for me, you will do quite well there. He now runs the Nevada Cancer Institute and has been a real blessing. Good luck in your trek. Be well, and God Bless...

Thanks very much Tony.

I am meeting with the Doc from University of Chicago this Wednesday. Look forward to more comments. I am also going to ask them for some references.
