      Dr. Breyer is absolutely amazing and I am so happy to have him as my urologist. Given how busy he is, it is wonderful that he took the time to help me with this issue and he is brilliant in this area. The care I have had throughout my prostate cancer treatment of the last 3-4 years at UCSF has saved my life and been life changing...I have set up a huge donation to UCSF prostate cancer research when I die, and that is how I intend to contribute back and thank UCSF and physicians like Dr. Breyer.
