Work with Dr. Stephen Petteruti, DO, a board-certified physician and experienced prostate doctor helping men navigate elevated PSA, prostate cancer diagnoses, active surveillance, second opinions, and long-term prostate health.

If you have been told you need a biopsy, surgery, radiation, or immediate treatment, a second opinion can help you better understand your diagnosis, your level of risk, and the options available to you.

Our approach focuses on thoughtful decision-making, careful monitoring, and protecting long-term health and quality of life.

In-person and virtual consultations available.

We currently have providers in the following states:

Before You Make A Prostate Cancer Treatment Decision

A rising PSA, abnormal MRI, biopsy recommendation, or prostate cancer diagnosis can quickly lead to a series of major decisions.

You may be wondering.

 Do I really need a biopsy now?
 Should I consider active surveillance?
 How aggressive is my prostate cancer?
 Should I get a second opinion before surgery or radiation?
 What happens if I wait?
 How could treatment affect urinary function, sexual health, hormones, and quality of life?

These are decisions that deserve careful evaluation.

Dr. Petteruti helps men review the available information, understand their options, and prepare for informed conversations with their urologist, oncologist, and other members of their medical team.

Why Men Seek A Prostate Cancer Second Opinion

Most prostate cancer care begins with PSA testing and may progress to imaging, biopsy, diagnosis, active surveillance, surgery, radiation, or other treatments.

But not every man has the same disease, risk profile, priorities, or timeline.
  Dr. Petteruti takes a broader view of the decision-making process by considering:

 

Active Surveillance

Helping men understand when careful monitoring may be part of the conversation and what an appropriate monitoring strategy can involve.

 

PSA Trend Analysis

Looking beyond a single PSA result to understand changes over time, free PSA percentage, velocity, and other relevant factors.

 

MRI Interpretation

Reviewing available imaging and pathology reports to better understand what has already been discovered and what questions remain.

 

Hormonal & Metabolic Health

Considering testosterone, metabolic health, inflammation, body composition, strength, and other factors that can influence long-term health.

 

Treatment Tradeoffs

Helping patients understand the potential benefits, risks, and quality-of-life implications of different prostate cancer treatment paths.

 

Long-Term Quality of Life Focus

Evaluating decisions not only in terms of cancer management, but also sexual health, urinary function, strength, vitality, and independence.

I have been in Dr Petterutis program for prostate health for 8 months. No progression of disease. Dr P reviewed my MRI and blood test results as well as how I was feeling. All good.  Dr P took the time to answer all of my questions, and we made some minor adjustments to my program focusing on my overall health.

Very professional. Dr Petteruti has established a plan with me which is already showing results. His protocol is tolerable and he listens with empathy and compassion. He is not like the usual physicians tied to a hospital. I am stage 4 prostate cancer and doing well! The staff gets back to you quickly and are attentive to your needs. I totally recommend you work with a physician that made this his life’s goal.
