Michael Joseph Dattoli, MD

Was recommended to Dr. Dattoli by a close friend who was also going through treatment. His (Dr Dattoli's) call to me initially calmed me and gave me peace as he reassured me that although the cancer was all over my body that they have a treatment plan and protocols to eradicate! It's been a little over a year and now am cancer free! I give glory to God, but He is using the knowledge and wisdom of Dr Dattoli and Dr Soni to manifest healing! I would highly recommend them as top notch in all aspects; experience, bedside manner, protocols, technology and empathy! Great staff and administrators and techs as well! All around a great experience in spite of the negative of any cancer diagnosis!

Over medicated me. Can't walk now. Was v arrested for prescription fraud.

Dr. Dattoli is by far the most intelligent and caring physician that I have ever had. His “pedigree” is unrivaled and he treats his patients like family. I had a very aggressive cancer 6 years ago and I researched my case and left Massachusetts to see Dr. Dattoli. I’m so glad that I did as I am cancer-free. I really don’t know how he does it but 6 years ago he called me at home at night for 90 minutes! He has since called me 5 times at home! He is so warm and understanding. I’ve met so many patients who share similar stories. The technologies at his Cancer Center are unique and cannot be found elsewhere using radiation delivered with pinpoint accuracy. If only my other physicians like Dr. Dattoli! I owe him my life and then some.

I am 62 years old and upon being diagnosed with prostate cancer I found many conflicting opinions regarding treatment options. My cancer was high risk (Gleason 7,8 and 9) and my urologist told me that if I had radiation, I could never have surgery again! Then, I went to a community support group where I learned that most cancers return after being surgically removed following which radiation and hormones are recommended compounding the side effects of the surgery! It was suggested that I contact Dr. Dattoli who is an expert in all facets of the disease and who successfully treated a few acquaintances. He called me one night and gave a very balanced opinion highlighting the pros and cons of all treatments including his own. He was never pushy. I decided to leave Philly and I was treated by Dr. Dattoli and his wonderful team and completed my treatment 2 years ago. I was on hormones for 6 months and did have side-effects from that but none from the radiation and seeding. I am now cancer-free and extremely happy to be back to my norm with no side effects at all.

In 2002 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and preceded to have a radical prostatectomy thinking that would take care of the cancer. That was not to be because 5 1/2 years later my cancer returned and I elected to be treated with IMRT thinking this will certainly take care of it. Well much to my surprise it was only 2 1/2 years later the cancer returned so now I knew I was dealing with recurring prostate cancer. The doctors who had treated me and several others I talked to told me there was nothing else they could do for me except put me on deprivation therapy and I did not want that. I was now in search of a doctor who could do MORE for me. As luck would have it I heard about Dr. Dattoli from a friend of mine and gave his clinic a call. To my surprise Dr.Dattoli called me one evening about 5 days later and we talked for about an hour and a half. I knew from that call this was the doctor I was looking for. Dr.Dattoli made me very comfortable and answered all the questions I had taking as much time as I needed. After the call I entered his treatment program which first had me taking several CTs and MRIs which identified my cancer location traveling up my lymph system from my pelvic region to my chest area. I then met the rest of his staff when I began treatments at his cancer center in Sarasota,Fl. I was totally surprised on how welcome his staff made my wife and I feel. Dr. Dattoli had already told me that being one of his patients I would be treated like family and not just a number. We were finding out this to be very true. Everyone of his staff are truly wonderful and go to great lengths to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible and we did feel just like family. I finished my treatments with Dr.Dattoli in 2012 and have been cancer free since. I think it’s of the utmost importance to find the right doctor for the kind of treatment you need and I found that doctor in Dr. Dattoli. I wish I could have found him before going through all the other that I had already been through but at least I found him before it was to late.If you have been unfortunate to have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and need that SPECIAL doctor I would say look no further because I don’t think you’ll find a finer doctor. You certainly won’t find one that is more knowledgeable, experienced, or that cares as much about his patients as Dr.Dattoli. He gave me my second lease on life just as I was about to run out of options and I’m sure he can do the same for you.

In 2003 I had the radiation/implant done by Dr. Dattoli ,he and his staff made the procedure as easy and pleasant as it could be. Since that time I go back yearly for an annual check up.The results have been 100 percent cued,no sign of any cancer what so ever. I thank god and Dr.Dattoli for these results. Donald T.Gilbert

Following a diagnosis of prostate cancer, treatment options can become very confusing. The initial thinking is to "take it out" and virtually every Urologist will tell you that removal is the best option. I did a lot of research and found that this simply wasn't true and that the cancer returns between 65% to 95% after the surgery. Moreover, most patients suffer impotence and even worse is incontinence. At first, patients like myself are told that if I have radiation first, you can never have surgery and that's simply NOT TRUE. After radiation, surgery is certainly an option, although many other "salvage treatments" are better and associated with less side effects than surgery anyway. It's interesting how radiation suddenly becomes the best thing since sliced bread to the urologist to clean up the mess. Living in Wisconsin, I didn't like any good treatment options nearby when I decided to be treated with radiation. I wanted the number 1 Radiation Oncologist with the best technologies in the world. That led me to Dr Dattoli in Sarasota, Florida. He's brilliant, has an incredible pedigree and developed a very precise form of radiation called "DART". He also pioneered seed implants and my research confirmed that combining radiation with seeding has the best cure rates with the least side effects of any therapy. He is very well published and his clinical treatment team are unbelievable. His partner, Dr Kaminsky seems to be very pleasant and also has an impressive pedigree. I just returned home to frigid Wisconsin having gotten really good news from Dr Dattoli. I can't recommend him enough!

I was to rush into surgery for Prostate Cancer, so said the urologist. things were bad! Yet not wanting to make rapid decisions without reason, my wife and I went about checking the alternatives. There came Dattoli's name up several times. After we completed due diligence we decided to come to DCC. Now 14 years later and living a full life I am grateful to Dr. D for his innovative work to find a better way. I have guided several men to DCC over the past years.

Four years ago, after being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, I found myself scared, scrambling around doing research about surgery vs radiation, reading reviews and stressing over the most important decision of my life - what to do about it? How could anyone receive the positive reviews that Dr. Dattoli does? I knew the answer because 20 years earlier, Dr. Dattoli had treated and cured my father. I checked out the latest treatments, including surgery, then had an hour-long telephone call with Dr. Dattoli and began treatment with him the next week. Fast-forward four years. I am happy, healthy and cancer-free. Everyone must make their own decision about which treatment Path is the best for them. However, there is a reason why people come from all over the country and around the world for treatment here. It is the same reason why so many men come here who have had treatments that failed somewhere else. Dr. Dattoli is the best there is treating Prostate Cancer.
