Best surgeon/institution in California for RC

P.S. Dr. Konety said they do around 11 Radical Cystectomys/year. That isn't a very high number?

Do you have any idea how this compares with Skinners in LA?

Thanks for this information, Pat. I appreciate getting it.

I have been in touch with Dr. Konety at UCSF and Dr. Meng has been mentioned, too.

Do you know anything about Konety? He seems to have the lighter schedule for surgery (not good?/neutral?)

Do you know anything about Stanford or anyone there?

Thanks again for the info!

both voted as Best Doctors in the US

If you want to go outside your area just let me know and i can give you the top people in the field ..........Pat

I am looking for the surgeon who is the most expert at doing Radical Cystectomy in the San Francisco Bay Area, preferably. (this would likely be the one who does a large number of them) However, if you know someone anywhere in California, I am interested in knowing who they are and the institution/hospital where they perform the surgery.

I will expand this request to include anyone/anyplace in the USA who has done alot of RCs.

Thanks so much!
