I also searched for the BEST surgeon to operate the BEST robotic surgery equipment. Dr Gary Peers was highly recommended to me by someone high up on the Intuitive Surgical Leadership Team. Queen's Hospital had the BEST robotic surgery equipment using the D' Vinci technology. I met with Dr Peers. He asked a lot of questions. I was prepared. I made my wife watch a YouTube real robotic surgery video the night before our meeting. Dr Peers asked why I elected robotic surgery and what I knew about robotic surgery? I described three incisions are made in my lower stomach. Two for the robotic arms and one larger incision for the suction and water tubes. My wife jumped in and added a plastic bag is inserted through that big hole. Then the robotic arms placed the prostate in the bag. My wife then described how amazing it was to see the doctor used the robotic arms to loop a string around the top of the bag. Then tie a knot sealing the prostate in the bag. Dr Peers was surprised and happy my wife was also involved with surgery procedure. My surgery was a success. Dr Peers removed all of my cancerous prostate and the area outside the prostate where the cancer was eating through. I did not need radiation or chemotherapy. That was a great outcome. I highly recommend Dr Peers. He is the BEST robotic surgeon in Hawaii.

That scan discovered a renal mass. 5/26/2022 I had biopsy & cryoablation done on 2.1 mass. Had he LISTENED to me, he SHOULD HAVE ordered a CT Scan with contrast & my kidney cancer would have been discovered more than a year earlier!! He was rude & dismissive & I immediately complained to my referring GP after my visit. I will have follow up in 3 months & hopeful. But, I'm still FURIOUS at his indifference to my concern... do not recommend him, EVER!!

I told my endocrinologist what was going on and she was very concerned, recommended I see another Urologist as soon as possible, and also made a referral to a neurologist. When I called Dr. Lattimer office to see if they could forward my medical record they told me they don't have electronic records. Everything is paperbased. No email. Not connected to any mychart. Now I have to physically bring or mail a written request for my medical record which they will print and hand to me after paying a fee. I think that pretty much sums up how this office operates.

While Dr. Noh has good bedside manners, his office staff are incompetent. After my initial…read moreconsultation, I was instructed to communicate with his assistant, Megan, for all further accommodations... except Megan didn't reach out to me so I called the office several times. Most of the time they don't answer the phone. After I finally left a voicemail and hadn't heard back in several days, I resorted to messaging them via their Contact Us page. Then someone other than Megan called to tell me Megan would submit the paperwork and reach out after insurance approved it. Fast forward a few weeks later, Megan calls to schedule me for surgery 11 days away. That's fine, except two weekends and Thanksgiving are a part of those 11 days, land she says they need the results asap, so I had to rush around to get 3 pre-op appts done in two days. Okay... except I go to get my neck scan done and they say they didn't get my referral. I left, came back a couple hours later, then I was instructed to return the next day because "sometimes it takes a bit to come in"... I go back the next day, and they Still don't have my referral. Then Megan is calling me to tell me I need to get the scan done. WOW. I finally had to tell her I don't know what they expect me to do, I go there and they don't have the referral but all you all can tell me is that you sent it and will resend it. Well obviously they're not receiving it so why do we keep doing the same method? Also, they clearly do not care for their patients if they know you need spinal surgery but don't mind having you drive back and forth for a few days to the hospital, park, walk to the lab, sit and wait (sitting was painful pre-surgery btw) every time. It's no surprise that they called to ask me to push my surgery back a couple of days. I don't see what the rush was anyway - they had me wait for weeks, then all of a sudden (after they know they'll get their money) we're in hyper speed mode. Fast forward to Post surgery and they send me to get scans Again. Different lab and guess what. Same story. I messaged the office and the person there was very short with me but sent the printout to my email to show the lab. Now I have a $400 bill that I'm seeing for the "first" time and the invoice states I'm being charged twice for late fees. I paid upfront for my portion of the surgery, why would I dodge a much smaller bill and be "late"? Also, I have no idea what the bill is for (X-rays are paid separately to the labs). I called and messaged the office numerous times to confirm. No one answers the phones and they haven't responded to my messages for the past week. I would not recommend this practice to anyone. I recommend you find a different provider that cares.

Everything was done in a quick and professional manner. I'm hopping that I'll have great results with the epidural and find some pain relief there.

There was a bit of an issue getting the appointment setup once my GP sent over the referral. Instead of it being a seamless process with them calling me to schedule like other referrals, I had to call them and they sort of found my referral and then we got the process started. The nurse gave me clear instructions for the prep. My check in time on those instructions was 1130 for a 1pm procedure. The day before one of the nurses on the surgical team called me and asked me to check in at 1030am. Great. So the morning of, I had questions with the timing because of the prep stuff and called them at 6am just to confirm that I should come in earlier. The front desk folks didn't get that memo and said my scheduled time was 1130. At around 10am, the same nurse called me and said that my surgeon Dr Ikeguchi is fast so I could come in at 1030 and it would be fine. So a bit of confusion there between the surgical team and the front desk folks. No big deal but I was left pretty confused about the timing of everything vis a vis my prep. Anyway, my partner drives me over there. We park in the attached garage. It was free but I don't know if that's normal. There was no place to get a ticket from the machine. On the way out we had to scan a barcode to get the arm to lift up. YMMV on that part. Upon arrival, I checked in and was ushered back fairly promptly. Since this is an outpatient clinic, it was a bit of a cattle call. Lots of people in beds getting ready for surgery. I think there was like 8 beds in the staging area where you undress, ask questions, and they hook you up to ivs or whatever. It was there I met my surgeon Dr. Ikeguchi. She was warm, but also no nonsense. She answered all my questions and was out. Then I met my anesthesiologist Dr. Tal Leyshon who was awesome. Much more friendly and very warm. He made sure I didn't have any more questions and assured me this would be super quick. From there they take you back to the procedure room where your team is waiting. The nurse calls out the patient and procedure info to the team. Dr. Leyshon has the propofol ready to go. As he's injecting it he's like you'll be out in 30 seconds. I was out in 30 seconds. Next thing I knew, I was waking up a little groggy with cottonmouth. They gave me some water. Had me dress once I could stand and I was out. My partner said total time was 90 mins. The actual procedure took less than 10 mins according to my paperwork. Sorry for the long review but I thought it was necessary. My entire surgical team was great. Shout out to all the filipina nurses who made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in to when I left. And my surgeon and anesthesiologist made me feel safe in their competent hands. I know most of us don't have a choice to where our GPs recommend us but I would 100% get another procedure done at surgicare. Finally, if you're getting older, get your colonoscopy screening done. It's totally not a big deal and could save your life.

However, the failure of their billing management and apathy towards fixing their own mistake is unacceptable. My procedure was preventative and 100% covered under my insurance with no out of pocket expense for myself. I had the procedure in February 2025 and Surgicare's billing coded it incorrectly as diagnostic instead of preventative. I received a $300+ bill and had to call and email Surgicare and their third party biller for almost a year before they fixed it. Surgicare would just tell me to call their biller and did not seem to care at all. I called both Surgicare and their biller at least two or three times a month for 9 months, just getting "we're working on it". I had to call HMSA after every follow up to find out what was really happening and that it just kept being billed incorrectly. This went on for 9 months. I only received help when I guessed the emails of the third party biller's executives. I finally received a confirmation that I no longer had the balance due near the end of November 2025. 9 months is a ridiculous timeframe for a simple correction. Surigcare did waive the residual tax fee for me but I don't think that makes up for their utter disregard for the situation. Surgicare's complete apathy to an error on their side has been extremely unprofessional and infuriating, I felt I had to write this especially for others. For someone else with less time, less experience with advocating for themselves, those that don't speak English well, or are on a fixed budget, this NINE month long experience would be intensely stressful and unacceptable.
