Dr Breesee has diagnosed and treated my prostate issues with his expertise and care. I appreciate his friendly demeanor and his easy to understand communication approach. His treatment plan in the last year was very effective and I’m glad he’s my Urologist. Another Dr had a very radical action plan, and I’m happy about the results of Dr Breesee’s less invasive treatment!!
