Dr. Scionti can describe everything a person needs to know about HIFU.  He can talk about the process and the expected medical outcome. He cannot talk about how it feels to a patient.  I can. My primary care physician recommended Dr. Scionti when my PSA had climbed two years in a row.  I was 72 years old with no other symptoms. My wife and I came to see Dr Scionti twice before scheduling the treatment for me.  First to have him explain the procedure. Then, after I had been tested to confirm that I was a candidate for HIFU.

He prepared us for every aspect of the process, and we understood what to expect.  It was better than we expected. After the post-HIFU office visit, my wife and I picked up a nice bottle of wine on the way home to enjoy with dinner. That night I slept well, and the next morning after breakfast went for a short, easy two-mile run. It has been just over three years since the HIFU.  My life is normal.  I exercise as always.  Sleep through the night.  Have no discomfort. For me HIFU was a wise choice.  My experience with Dr. Scionti has been excellent.
