I find Dr. Candela to be unprepared when appointment time comes. On my last appointment he did not know that he sent me out for a renal exam and that this appointment was for the results, This give me pause in that Dr. Candela had no Idea of what was happening I had to give him my results. Dr, Candela then had his assistant track down the the results. I did not receive the proper treatment. The Doctor is very personable and a nice person but unprepared in my case. I wanted to return to my former urologist but was told I could not as these two Doctors work together. very unfortunate as my primary urologist at this clinic was excellent.

Dr. Candela treated me like a friend the first visit I had with him. Made me feel comfortable and trusting. He was so thorough, he found the cancer in my prostate, gave me options, I decided on removal, he did an excellent job, I have no issues, bladder, sexual etc.. I highly recommend his expertise if you have prostate issues, he is very responsive and helpful, I am 10 years out of surgery, and no issues. He treated me with respect.

He did an unnecessary procedure looking in my bladder for no reason and it lead to scars forming in urethea and the developing of severe problems including narrowing of urethea and a disease called BXO. He can ruin your life if you allow him to do unnecessary procedures and damage your urine trac.

Dr. Candela treated me for prostate cancer. He was tenacious, inelligent, passionate, through, the nices most efficient physician I have ever been to. I would highly recommend Dr. Candela to any man requiring prostate surgery. I have not had one issue after 6 years after surgery. Everything works fine, and so far the cancer has not returned. And he is easy on the eyes also.
