Welcome to our site but I am sorry you need to be here. I have heard good things about USC and Dr Gill.

YOU ARE IN LUCK! Well, not for needing the surgery, but because one of the top places in the country for bladder cancer surgery is in your back yard! USC-Norris has a number of really expert doctors and you couldn't go wrong with any of them.

Besides, it is ALWAYS a good idea to get a second opinion on your diagnosis and the options available to you.

Best of luck to you.

Just found out I need ileal coduit surgery. Looking for a good surgeon in the Los Angelse/Orange County area. Has anyone gone though this surgery and who is the best doctor?

Thanks for your help!
