Telemedicine Consultation At Western States HIFU

Online & Telephone HIFU Consultation with Dr. Robert Pugach

During this difficult time as we are adjusting to stay at home orders, it is important to know that you can discuss your prostate cancer concerns, diagnosis and treatment from the safety of your home.

We are the first urology practice in the western United States to offer online consultations for prospective patients. We can do this via our video conferencing or with a telephone call.

In order to make your online consultation as effective as possible, we ask that you provide information about your prostate cancer to us in advance of our meeting. Medical and laboratory data that is typically required includes:

• PSA levels
• Biopsy reports
• Pictures and measurements from your ultrasound examination during your biopsy
• Imaging study results – MRIs and bone scans, if these were done
• Copies of office notes and records from your urologist
• Copies of office notes and records from your primary care physician pertaining to your general health

We can give you more specifics when you call to schedule your online consultation. It’s easy!
