I went to University of Colorado Hospital and was still pretty happy with my outcome. They aren't ranked for Urology on the list.

I did get a 2nd opinion at MD Anderson though and they agreed with my doc at UCH so I opted for treatment closer to home.

My regular uro referred me to UCH and my UCH uro encouraged me to get the third opnion at MD Anderson.

Interesting...Memorial Sloan and MD Anderson dropped way down in the ratings for urology.....however its kind of a misnomer in a way as they handle more bladder cancer than some of the top ones with the exception of Johns Hopkins....
OH well
