Dr. Benjamin Chung, MD

Dr. Benjamin Chung is the very BEST surgeon in Urology. He is very kind and has full expertise in Urology surgery. He has successfully performed a challenging surgery on my left kidney and saved my life. Dr. Chung was present and scrubbed for the entire procedure. I am very much impressed by all his consideration/arrangement related to my surgery and the detailed medical notes he has written. Dr. Chung and his Stanford team have provided the best medical service and they have earned my full respect!

Dr Chung patiently and comprehensively explained what he saw from the documents he reviewed about my condition, and why he believed that treating my condition was better than waiting and watching. Dr Chung's credentials, accomplishments and demeanor elicits patient confidence. The Stanford Cancer Center is overwhelming and contributes to my confidence in Dr. Chung.

What can I say? He saved my life twice and acts like it was no big deal. He is smart and humble, a winning combo. He rechecked another urologist's work and found something the first one missed in my bladder while I was on the table for kidney surgery. He is the very best.

Dr Chung is the BESt Dr around. I always tell him I owe him my life.Because if it wasn't for him correcting what problem I had all my life, who knows if I would have been alive right now. And being born with just 1 kidney..(I came to find that out later) When It was known I had UPJ. who knows what could have happened to me if this was never fixed. I'm glad I had THE BEST do it. THank you again Dr Chung for all that you do for everyone!!

When I found out I had kidney cancer, the first urologist recommended laparoscopy to remove the affected kidney. Second and third opinions both recommended "open surgery" to save the kidney, and I chose Dr. Benjamin Chung. In a difficult operation, he and his team managed to eliminate the cancer while sparing 90% of my kidney. "Clear margins!"
