I am 75 years old, in good health and of my last conversation with you, was your oldest client for robotic laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. I have been retired for the last 10 years after sharing a partnership in kls associates, a manufacturer's representative company. I served as secretary treasurer and sold sophisticated electronic instruments to industry.

I was diagnosed via biopsy as having prostate cancer in October of 2004. I was made aware of the various options available concerning treatment. In my research of the treatments, I became aware of experience with Drs. Lanteri and Esposito. His positive comments regarding his association with both doctors and his successful surgery and quick recuperation convinced me to meet with Drs. Lanteri and Esposito.

I was most comfortable with electing for surgical removal of the cancerous prostate versus the other treatments. My research of the da Vinci robotic system, the laparoscopic technique and the experience of Drs. Lanteri and Esposito, convinced me I was making the right decision.

My surgery was completed on January 25, 2005. I was released the next day and had the catheter removed on the 6th day. I was driving on the 8th day and was fully recovered in a few weeks. I have returned to my pleasures of fishing and walking 18 holes of golf.

I have been satisfied with dealing with New Jersey Center for Prostate Cancer and Urology (formerly Associated Urology Bergen-Passaic) and pleased with the performance of Drs. Lanteri and Esposito. Having had association with other prostate cancer patients and their lengthy recoveries. I appreciate the speedy recovery I experienced. I'd be pleased to recommend your practice.
