~WHAT A DIFFERENCE A CLINIC MAKES~

How does The Prostatitis and Prostate Cancer Center differ from your physician and his/her clinic?  We stand out in the following ways:

bulletWe recognize that prostate health starts with a “Healthy Prostate”
bulletWe offer effective Non-Surgical BPH treatments
bulletBPH treatment complications favor a Conservative Management Plan
bulletOur diagnostic abilities for prostatitis detection are exceptional
bulletWe integrate all appropriate treatment modalities through the use of Worldwide Experts
bulletWe utilize Prostate Analysis through in-office [Color Flow Doppler] evaluation; which allows for earlier prostate cancer diagnosis
bulletOur patients require ultrasound less often with fewer biopsies
bulletWe utilize an Internationally Recognized Pathology Team
bulletWe offer Complementary Prostate Health Remedies, as well as traditional remedies
bulletWe recognize that dietary adjustments assist Prostate Health
bulletPSA and “FREE PSA” are utilized regularly
bulletWe recognize that a PSA of less than one may be normal; not 0-4 ng/ml
bulletWe recognize that 20-30% of all Prostate Cancers are in the 1-4 ng/ml range, primarily
bulletWe encourage PSA Testing by Age 40
bulletThe lower your PSA, the further from Prostate Cancer you will remain
bulletA PSA Blood Test is recommended at three month intervals in surveillance
bulletExpressed Prostatic Secretion (EPS) analysis is a regular part of our exam
bulletWe utilize effective Non-Surgical Prostate Cancer Therapy
bulletWe utilize Clinically Proven, Safe Investigational Prostate Cancer therapies when appropriate
bulletWe recognize that Prostate Cancer is a Chronic Disease and often should be treated as such
bulletWe understand that the treatment for Prostate Cancer should not be worse than the disease
bulletWe have fewer Prostate Cancer Therapy Failures
bulletWe understand the potential volatility of Prostate Cancer
bulletIf you have Prostate Cancer; consider all options; not just the therapy your M.D. performs
bulletWe utilize an internationally recognized Cryosurgical Team
bulletWe utilize an internationally recognized Brachytherapy Team
bulletWe recognize that Impotency & Incontinence are unacceptable side effects of Cancer Therapies
bulletWe believe that Prostatitis is a risk factor to Prostate Cancer
bulletWe recognize that antibiotics rarely benefit Prostatitis
bulletWe offer effective Prostatitis Therapy endorsed by Physicians Worldwide
bulletWe believe that Prostatitis is immunologically mediated
bulletWe utilize Immune Markers to assess Prostatitis Resolution
bulletWe have proven that Voiding Symptoms relate to Prostatitis primarily, not BPH
bulletWe realize that Quality of Life issues are as important as diagnostic and treatment decisions
bulletWe do not believe that you will die from some other disease first; that is Insurance Talk – take care of your Prostate Health
bulletWe believe that a Proactive (Preventative) course is superior to a Reactive Treatment Course; a Proactive Course may change BPH, Prostatitis, and Prostate Cancer forever
bulletUtilization of Intermittent Hormonal Ablation is superior to Continuous Hormone therapy
bulletWe employ a Patient Friendly Atmosphere with time allotted to answer all questions
bulletThe Patient Treatment Plan is individualized to the specific needs of the patient
bulletWe do not use the One Size Fits All Treatment Plan
bulletFollowing our Evaluation and Treatment Plan you can be followed clinically by your hometown M.D.
bulletSnap treatment decisions for any form of Surgical Therapy for BPH or Prostate Cancer are discouraged
bulletWe believe that a well-educated patient will make the best Judgment in his behalf
bulletYour Financial Investment Strategy means little without your Prostate Health
bulletYou will probably learn more in one visit with us than you have previously learned
bulletWe are accessible Toll Free and are in convenient locations (in your vacation areas)
bulletPatients often participate in Clinical Trials
bulletIn the event of Prostate Cancer, Prostate Biopsy may spread the disease, therefore, the risks and benefits should be weighed carefully
bulletThe AUA recently made a statement (3/00) that men with a PSA of 4 ng/ml should consider a Prostate Biopsy; we believe that your PSA blood test should never get to 4.
bulletWe will never tell you “We do not know what to do” or “We have run out of options”
bulletWe believe that treatment failures are unacceptable
bulletWe believe that your Immune Status is integral to your Good Health
bulletOur Business is built on your satisfaction
bulletAs a Patient, you will become part of our Family and will be treated like Family
bulletWe succeed when others fail
bulletThe more difficult the case the better your response.
bulletStudies show that early hormone intervention promotes improved quality of life
