Dr. Naranyan was very good at explaining my condition and gave us the treatment options (surgery or radiation) and arranged for a consult with a radiation specialist... Dr. N. Explained both procedures but is a surgeon and covered that side with more detail.

Dr. Narayan is an excellent doctor! He is very knowledgeable of cutting-edge urologic oncology procedures and medication choices and able to discuss them in a way that is understandable by a layperson. He met with us until our questions were answered and did so in an engaged, compassionate, and thoughtful manner. I am very happy that I have Dr. Narayan managing my urologic cancer care.

Dr. Narayan seemed a little matter of fact about a partial penectomy. While it likely would not have changed anything, I felt that the possibility of alternate treatment could have been more fully described.
