      Dr. Peter Carroll listens very well and explains things very well also. He is interested in my viewpoint and always includes me in decisions regarding my care and treatment. He has many years of experience and I trust his clinical judgement completely. UCSF is very fortunate to have Dr. Carroll as the Director of Urology/Oncology.
