Dr. Sorce Receives Two Awards from American Registry

Dr. Damian Sorce, Urologist August 10, 2010: Advanced Urology’s Damian Sorce, MD, board-certified urologist, has been honored with the American Registry’s 2009 Patients’ Choice Award for top online patient rankings and the 2009 On-Time Physician Award for being one of America's shortest wait-time doctors.

2009 Patients' Choice Award

In 2009, more than 60,000 doctors were reviewed online by their patients each month, but less than six percent of these doctors received top reviews in all categories. The American Registry’s Patients’ Choice award recognizes doctors for continually receiving top ratings from patients on several criteria, including helpfulness, accuracy of diagnosis, bedside manner and follow-up care.

2009 On-Time Physician Award

As the recipient of the 2009 On-Time Physician Award, Dr. Sorce’s patients said he respected their time and was consistently prompt with appointments, making him a highly reliable and considerate practitioner.

Dr. Sorce places special emphasis on providing each patient with the attention and expert medical care that he or she needs. These two awards reflect his ongoing dedication to patient care. Congratulations to Dr. Sorce!

PSA Still Excellent Tool for Detecting Prostate Cancer

Article Written By Geoff Ledgerwood, MD, Urologic Surgeon

Recent reports have brought into question the necessity of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening tool for prostate cancer detection; arguing it is almost too effective, leading to over-diagnosis and unneeded procedures. Because there are different types of prostate cancer — up to 24 types with varying degrees of aggressiveness according to University of Michigan researchers — the PSA test is unable to differentiate between the different types, and, therefore, some believe it no longer should be offered for routine screening. However, until an effective alternative is discovered, the PSA test will continue to save lives when offered with patient education and careful consultation and application.

Vasectomy vs. Essure® for Permanent Birth Control

Article Written By Dr. Michael Glass, Board-Certified Urologist

Many men are asking, “Why should I get a vasectomy if my wife can have Essure^® for our sterilization?” A comparison of the two procedures can help make the decision.

First, vasectomy has been performed on over 600,000 men in the U.S. annually. The procedure takes about 15 minutes and has a rapid recovery.

Essure is a relatively new procedure that has been performed only for the last 2-3 years.
