    major teaching medical centers

    Hi.  I dont think you can go wrong with surgeons at major teaching medical centers.  UCSF, Stanford, UCLA, City of Hope, UC Irvine. Stanford, etc..  choose one closest to you and google their website and explore the urologic oncology surgeons.

    Southern or Northern or doesn't matter?

    We were beyond pleased with Dr. Macintyre in San Diegol He did Davinci Robotic on my husband. Great surgeon but also a great doctor with a super nursing staff.
