Dr. McGovern was clear, concise and exceptionally considerate and very understanding of our (my wife and I) concerns. Dr. McGovern's authentic ability to directly address our concerns instilled the needed degree of trust requisite to accepting his recommendations. His recommendations (to an exceptional oncologist) proved to be true and accurate and provided a path of treatment that has led to my now healthy and well restored ability to appreciate life.

Dr. McGovern was a great doctor. He operated on my father who was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I am a nurse and deal with many doctors on a daily bases. Dr. McGovern went above and beyond to take the time and explain everything to my family. I would defenitly rate him as exceptional. The surgery went great and my father was very pleased with the results, as well as the rest of us. We have been reccomending him to all of my fathers friends who have now found them self in a similar situation. Me and my family are very greatful for Dr. McGovern.
