Dr. Michael Lazar of California HIFU Selected by Sonoma Magazine’s Top Doctors Survey
Santa Rosa, CA (PRWEB) September 06, 2017 -- Sonoma Magazine’s Top Doctor survey polled Sonoma County doctors and medical specialists for physicians they most often recommend to a loved one. More than 300 professionals are noted in the September issue as “the crème de la crème” in more than 50 categories. Dr. Lazar was recognized by his medical peers in the field of urology, an opinion also supported by Dr. Lazar’s patients.
"Dr. Lazar treated my prostate cancer, and I have been cancer free for three years. If you have been diagnosed with PC (prostate cancer) then you're used to seeing many doctors. Dr. Lazar is the first one that I have seen who I felt cared about my situation," says Paul S. *

HIFU: Non-invasive Treatment for Prostate Cancer
HIFU is a FDA approved precise and targeted therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer, that reduces the risk of complications caused by surgery and radiation. HIFU uses ultrasound energy, or sound waves, to heat and destroy specifically targeted areas of tissue. During HIFU, the sound waves pass through healthy tissue without causing damage. At the focal point of the sound waves (like a magnifying glass focusing the rays of the sun to burn a leaf), the tissue temperature rises, destroying only the targeted tissue.
Dr. Michael Lazar is the only Northern California physician and prostate cancer expert recognized as a leader in the use of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). He has been successfully treating patients with HIFU since 2007.
What HIFU Patients Have to Say
HIFU patients also appreciate Dr. Lazar’s well rounded expertise and comprehensive approach to prostate cancer treatment. One such patient, Edward B. commented on Dr. Lazar’s website recently, “I would give Dr. Lazar the highest rating possible. He listens well, and offers a very thorough exam. He presented all options (for prostate cancer treatment) including pros and cons. Dr. Lazar is the best.” *
