    I did my best to Lead Jesse and Maria to
    The surgeon team I had because everywhere I turned I heard good things about them from the surrounding public...then I had my surgery....It was true how good and compassionate they run their ship...It seems Jesse and Maria feel the same way if not better than I did...they just reversed the doctors rolls between the two surgeons. I will recomend (as I bet Jesse and Maria will also) these guys to anyone and everyone considering any urological surgery in the Indianapolis area. I know they have had a patient fly from Florida to have it done by them before also. I wanted the ease of local for my surgery because faced with the potential aftermath of issues with this surgery I wanted to be local and be able to at least hound them for fixes if need be. I exceptionally liked the fact they always work together in the surgeries both being very competent surgeons on their own was like having two top notch guys working on you instead of one and extra help that probably rotates in most surgical senarios depending on the work day.

    I originally spoke with one of the other surgeons in this group who did not even mention Scott & Hollansbe, he just promoted himself. On my own I ended up with Dr. Koch at IU. I found out about CSN AFTER my surgery; would have appreciated knowing beforehand. WHEN YOU ARE FIRST DIAGNOSED, NO TREATMENT PROVIDER (that I encountered) RECOMMENDED ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT IS IN THEIR OWN SELF-INTEREEST. Just keep that in mind as you are exploring your options.

    HOME!
    We arrived home on Thursday afternoon about 12:30 pm.
    Hubby is doing well. We are keeping up with pain meds. Had tha first shower last night, he thoroughly enjoyed it.
    He is walking lots. Getting in and out of bed is still a challenge. Today we walk the driveway.
    Our doctor is so attentive it was unreal. He spent about 20 minutes with me after surgery, then visited about 25 minutes the morning after surgery. THen he saw Jesse again that evening, spent another 20 minutes or so with us. Then the next morning and then home. We received a call from his nurse yesterday afternoon, and she will call again today to check on him. The doctor said he would call us himself on Saturday to see how Jesse was doing and to give him the pathology results. WOW!
    Catheter check is next Thursday for the cysto and hopefully getting rid of the thing. YEAH!
    Thanks for all the support and prayers.

    Dr. Koch is a VERY good surgeon and according to my surgeon Hollensbe...other than him and Scott...Koch is the other one recomended. When I met with Hollensbe he said, "either myself and Scott should remove your prostate or Koch" I interviewed Koch prior to Hollensbe and found him to be the one I was leaning towards until I met Hollensbe...Hollensbe is my type of guy...very confident and actually cocky about his ability...it was kinda like having me operate on me...lol Koch was too laid back for me...very cerebral which made me think he would do a good job and he had the reputation and results to back it up but I just felt more aligned with Hollensbe in my "gut feel". As I remember you came out of the surgery with pretty good results, right?

    Was the doc from Urology of Indiana Gregory Wahle or his partner Jeffery Vaught?
