Patient Testimonials

Sheldon Hough, Radical prostatectomy patient
"Immediately following my consultation with Dr. Yoshida, I knew I had found the right physician and hospital. I can never say enough about the excellent care that I received. I can't say enough of how great this doctor was in both compassion and skill. At Hoag Hospital, I thought with the great care that I received that I was the only patient in the hospital. Everyone was so caring."

Tara and Sheldon Hough

"I am so grateful that I had access to Dr. Raney, a brilliant surgeon, a strong surgical team, a hospital with excellent credentials, plus a cardiologist who is a proponent of this type of approach, and also the people behind the da Vinci Surgical System."
