I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Golden. I sincerely feel he saved my life. While running an abdominal scan for some stomach problems, they accidently found a large mass on my left kidney. My family doctor immediately referred me to Dr. Golden. Dr Golden ordered another scan with contrast to get a better view of the location of the mass. Due to the location and size of the mass, he recommended that he remove the whole kidney. The risk of infection and complication by trying to remove just the mass was too great. It ultimately was my final decision and I decided to follow his recommendation. He made me no promises but he thoroughly explained how he intended to make four small incisions (1/4"" to 1"") in length to get everything out. The morning before the surgery, he met with my husband and went in details to explain him what was going to take place. I honestly and truly felt I was in good hands. When I woke up from surgery, all I had was four small incisions, the longest (1"") through my belly button. I was in the hospital two days and went to see Dr Golden one week after my surgery for a follow up. He explained that the cancer was malignent and\r
aggresive but he removed everything; no need for radiation or chemotherapy. My surgery took place in Nov. 2008 and Dr Golden sends me for scans every three months. So far, everything's been just fine! Too sum up, if you are seeing a Urologist and are not totally comfortable, get a second opinion and see Dr Golden. He truly is the best!
Pros: Best Dr you can ask for
