Best doctors for HOLEP surgery

Yes, you should travel for the best doctor. There are usually only three visits at most (preliminary work up; actual surgical date; & maybe a follow up).
For example: I live on the east coast of Florida and I found it well worth it to travel to see Dr Miller @ Vanderbilt University in Nashville. They are all set up for people who come from away.

If you come up with names that you are unsure of, then post them on this forum page, or the other similar page on this web site ("Experiences With Holmium Laser Enucleation Of The Prostate, HoLEP, Laser Surgery") and ask for opinions as to peoples experiences with them. The HoLEP patient crowd is a very informed group that is full of valuable information.
For example: Personally I wanted to go to a recommended doctor at a university teaching hospital; & I wanted one that was trained by one of the original HoLEP surgeons, since they had top notch reputations; & I wanted a doctor that had a personable relationship with his/her patients. I did almost all my research on these two extensive forum pages and I found exactly what I was looking for.
Take you time and do your research and you will not be disappointed.

"Best Doctors For HoLEP Surgery"

I believe that all the doctors that you mentioned are still in business, because I have seen comments about them occassionally on the two HoLEP pages on this web site.

I think that any doctor associated with a teaching institution (ie: university hospital) would be a good choice because they are well vetted and are in an educational environment with lots of support. Also any doctor that was trained by one of the original doctors (ie: Dr Lingeman) should be a good choice.

I personally can only speak for Dr Miller @ Vanderbilt. She was excellent and she & her appointment system scheduled me in a very efficient manner. They even arranged the hotel to stay at with a discount (Holiday Inn near the clinic with free shuttle service). Communicated by email Appt made my recent test results sent pre-op visit operation & overnight stay in hospital follow up visit (which probably is not necessary if you are having no problems). It was all done within 2 or 3 months.

To be clear: HoLEP is only a one time surgery unless something develops years down the road.

Glad to hear that you had positve results with Dr Miller. Her quick responses to my emails is one of the many positive attributes that sold me on her.
Very interesting that they are now doing some cases at their outpatient care surgery center. I had heard of that happening at other places.
I believe I had to wait about 1.5 - 2 months for the surgery (not sure). The surgery itself only took and hour or two.
You are pretty much back to normal immediately as long as you do not overdue it. No heavy physical work for a month or so. I drove home from Tennessee to Florida the day after I was discharged from the hospital --- that said, I stopped at every rest area and got out and walked around.
Be sure to also read the other HoLEP page on this website --- It is full of good information about experiences and what to do or not do for best outcomes.
Also -- start Kegel exercises Now and do them several times every day. One easy way to incorporate them into your daily routine is the periodically stop and hold your stream for short periods when you urinate.
Best of luck to you. Update everyone of your experiences so that others can benefit.
