Re: Good Cancer Centers/Physicians in Northern Virginia
Has anyone had experience with INOVA Fairfax Hospital in Virginia, or Dr. Paquette who is afflicted with it? This was the recommendation of my general physician.
Thanks again

Re: Good Cancer Centers/Physicians in Northern Virginia
My team is in George Washington University Hospital in DC, just crossing Memorial Bridge. They are a very good team of urologists and different doctors specialize in different urological problems: BPH, PCa, etc. I was being seen by a physician who treated BPH, but when she suspected PCa she referred me to an oncologist in the team. The Director, Dr. Frazier, is a very respected surgeon with the DA Vinci robotic system, in case that is the way to go in our case.
Johns Hopkins, in Baltimore, also has the best team. I consulted with DR. Alan Partin at JH without knowing, at the time of my consultation, that he is the best among equals and that students use his books to study. Excellent attention at JH. Best ever.
Hope this helps.
