Dr. Kwon saved my life, he's a rock star in his field. I believe he's the best Urologist in the country

Dr. Kwon is truly exceptional. He is thoughtful, contemplative, extremely personable and his expertise is superior. We were at Stage 4 metastasized prostate cancer, with little or no warning or symptoms, seemingly overnight. Joel, who answered our first call, assisted us in getting our records and test results to the appropriate triage team and immediately arranged for a choline scan and appointment with Dr. Kwon. Dr. Kwon's review of my husband's somewhat unique situation led us to the very best chemotherapy program the following day. The oncologist helped us limit side effects, maintain strength and a good quality of life throughout treatment. Dr. Kwon and Dr. Hugec saved my husband's life, and we are eternally grateful to them and the circumstances which led us there. After six rounds of chemotherapy, my husband is cancer free. We feel we are in the care of the very best doctor anywhere in the world.

Dr. Kwon is excellent, extremely knowledgable and compassionate. Finding him was a blessing.

My experience with Dr. Kwon began when my prostate cancer metastasized in 2015. In 2008, with a Gleason score of 4+5, I had a radical prostatectomy and then went through hormone, radiation, and chemo therapies. I was cancer-free for 7 years. Upon recurrence, local docs knew the cancer had returned but could not locate it. Dr. Kwon’s Choline-11 scan found it in lymph nodes in my chest. He ordered up 6 chemo treatments, put me back on hormone therapy and prescribed Zytiga. On my follow-up visit, halfway thru chemotherapy, my PSA was undetectable and the Choline scan found no evidence of cancer. I finished the chemo regimen (ugh) and stayed on Zytiga for 27 months. I continue to receive Lupron hormone therapy and am happy to report no signs of cancer in five years. AND I feel great! Thank you, Dr. Kwon!

Dr. Kwon has been fabulous. He exhibited a deep understanding of my condition and was clear and compelling in proposing and explaining the proposed curse of treatment. I now see him every few months while working with a terrific local oncologist for delivery of my monthly injections and earlier my regular chemo drips. As important, his key staff support is terrific-- very professional, attentive and available. Plus the resources and facilities at Mayo are unparalleled. Best decision I have ever made. i recommend heartily.

My husband is a patient of Dr. Kwon’s. I have been present for all of the appointments and have been throughly impressed with the level of care my husband has received. We feel fortunate to have Dr. Kwon leading the fight against prostate cancer.

My husband was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2005 and received local treatment. In 2011, the cancer recurred, and upon calling Mayo Clinic, my husband was told that Dr Kwon was their top specialist in recurrent prostate cancer. Dr Kwon and his colleagues have kept my husband alive and kept his prostate cancer at bay, referring him to radiation and chemotherapy and medication as needed to deal with each recurrence. It is 2021, my husband is now 74, and his cancer, while not curable, is suppressed at the moment; and his quality of life is good.

Dr. Kwon and his team saved my husbands life. We had other doctors tell us to get our affairs in order and sent us out the door with no hope. We happened to get another opinion from Dr Kwon and we are so happy we did. He was aggressive with his treatment of the cancer and beat it. We can’t say enough great things about Dr Kwon and his team at Mayo.

I've been with Dr. Kwon since 2014. I've been amazed at the specialized testing to produce early intervention in prostate cancer. Thanks to Dr. Kwon and the excellent Team at Mayo Clinic & Hospital Rochester - I plan to live a VERY LONG and happy life.
