Who are the best advanced docs in northern California?

Just diagnosed friend  in central valley (Sacramento/Stockton) looks like he will need advanced treatment.  I don't remember, who are the best people at Stanford or UCSF maybe even Davis or where ever who he should consult?

If he needs avdanced treatments he should consult with Dr Scholtz or Dr Lam in Marina Del Rey. Any treatments could be done locally. Dr Roach and Dr Carrol are very good doctors, but for advanced cancers medical oncologists specializing in PC are the way to go.

66 years old, rising psa for 10 years from 4 to 40; 12 biopsies and MRIS all negative. Oct 2009 DXed with G6 <5%. Color Doppler biopsy found 2.5 cm G4+3. Combidex clear. Seeds and IMRT, 4 weeks of urinary frequency and urgency; no side affects since then. 3 years of psa's all at 0.1.

I am currently being treated at UCSF.....it is truly a center of excellence....call Urology @ 415-353-7171, they will route you to the proper MD depending on your stage.....one caution the wait times are long, but the docs will spend all the time necessary to treat.
