Facing radiation or surgery, I sought out Dr. Wagner. The app. was great, the advice was detailed and concise. Anyone with prostate cancer who hasn't settled on a treatment plan should see Dr. Wagner.

Dr. Wagner and his team is what medicine is all about.I was given exemplary care in curing my prostrate cancer. Dr. Wagner answered all my questions and never did I feel rushed. His team was quick to read and explain my lab results. Dr. Wagner is on the cutting edge of medicine and is well respected for his skills nation wide. I feel grateful and fortunate to have Dr. Wagner as my Urology Oncologist.

I was told Dr Wagner was “the best.” After meeting with him discussing all options, thru surgery and post-op visits I can say he is the best. His honesty, experience and understanding thru the entire process was great. His staff was helpful and made everything happen with ease. It was a difficult time and they guided me thru it where I look back and say wow it’s done.

My wife and myself met Dr Wagner after finding out I had prostate cancer. Dr Wagner’s easy way of making me feel at ease was what I needed at that time. After my surgery I had many questions and he was easily accessible and always answered me in a way that was easy to understand. I just completed my 5yr follow up appointment and everything looks good. I would recommend Dr Wagner to anyone that needed a great surgeon and good friend during the 5 yrs I was under his care. Mike
