Patient Testimonials

Dennis Austin (Prostatectomy)

"When my father underwent prostrate surgery many years ago, he was hospitalized for over a week, he had to endure a great deal of pain, and suffered from side-effects for many years. When I learned I faced the same diagnosis many years later, naturally I feared the same outcome. However, when Dr. Anderson at the Center For Robotic Surgery showed me the benefits of a prostectomy using robotic technology, the choice was obvious. Within hours of my surgery, I was up and walking. My hospital stay was brief, and within days I was taking a one mile walk! It wasn't long until I was up to two, then three miles. There was very little pain, some mild discomfort, and that too was brief. The side-effects my father, and so many other men, experienced did not occur with me. I recommend to any man facing prostrate surgery to seek out the Center For Robotic Surgery at Ferrell-Duncan Clinic."

Kathy Vilas (Hysterectomy)

"I am one of many women who will hear her doctor say that she requires a hysterectomy. But since my procedure was performed by the surgeons at the Center for Robotic and Minimally Invasive Surgery at Ferrell Duncan Clinic, my hospital stay was only one day, with almost no pain or scars, and I was back to normal activities in about a weekÉhappy, and healthy!"

Sheri Jenkins (Hysterectomy)

"I'd known many friends and co-workers who had required a hysterectomy which required a long hospital stay, and often a painful recovery. However, when my doctor at Ferrell-Duncan Clinic described the procedure and explained that the surgeon would utilize the technology robotic surgery and that it would be minimally invasive, the choice was an easy one to make. With a family at home, and a busy work schedule, knowing that the recovery would be much quicker, made all the difference. My procedure and my recovery exceeded my best expectations. There was almost no pain, no major incision to heal, I was in the hospital only one day, and within days was able to return to my normal activities. The outcome of my procedure was outstanding, but in addition, my doctor, the staff, everyone involved with my care showed an amazing level of care and kindness. The experience I had with the doctors, the staff, the technology at The Center For Robotic Surgery at Ferrell-Duncan Clinic was so good that I recommend the procedure to any family or friends that face the need for the same type of procedure."
