Tom Had a Quick Recovery after Robotic Prostate Surgery at NWH

"The thing about prostate cancer is that guys tend to keep that information to themselves. But in my personal experience, the more you talk about it, the more comfort you'll find that you're not alone out there trying to deal with this disease."
After lab results concluded elevated PSA levels, Tom was concerned. During a consultation with Dr. Warren Bromberg, Director of the Prostate Cancer Program, Chief of the Urology Division and Co-Director of the Institute for Robotic and Minimally Invasive Surgery at Northern Westchester Hospital, Tom was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Tom knew that treatment with Dr. Bromberg, an expert in robotic prostate surgery in Westchester, would provide him with the most attentive care – necessary for his recovery.

Da Vinci prostate surgery treatment at NWH, a leader for robotic surgery in Westchester, enabled Tom to benefit from a faster recovery, a reduction in pain and a reduced chance of incontinence and erectile dysfunction.

Advancements in technology –like da Vinci prostate surgery, coupled with family-centered care gave Tom a positive experience during a difficult time. Dr. Bromberg himself would call Toms wife, updating her on his treatment. Dr. Bromberg and Tom’s care team opened up an avenue of trust, giving Tom a platform to discuss his diagnosis.

During Tom’s stay at Northern Westchester Hospital, Tom received the highest level of patient centered care available from an attentive and supportive staff. Tom recalls Dr. Bromberg addressing his specific questions and concerns every step of the way, something Tom says “he will always value.”
