Hi Barrister,
I had
open RP surgery at Johns Hopkins in November 2006. My doctor was Dr. Alan Partin.
Johns Hopkins is a world class operation and we traveled half way across the country to have my surgery there. They have a recovery ward devoted entirely to patients recovering from prostate surgery. The nurses are superb.
Good luck,
Ben
