Patient Reviews
Jul 13, 2024
After being diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer, with a gleason score of 9, panic set in. I aggressively researched to find the best surgeon who will save my life. Dr. Francis McGovern became my top choice. His record, experience, and rapport won me over. Dr. McGovern explained where the cancer was and his plan to remove it. He went over everything in detail answering all of our questions along the way. He was extremely professional and easy to understand. My surgery took place on March 20, 2023. The surgery went very well, and I have been cancer free for over a year now. I will forever be grateful to Dr. McGovern for saving my life. Dr. McGovern’s nurse, associates, and full staff are very professional and exceptional as well. I thank God every day for Dr. Francis McGovern. He is simply the best!

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
