I am very thankful for Dr. Cancel. He recently moved to Asheville, NC and cared for me and my family as I went through prostate surgery. Dr. Cancel is very calm, clear, and confident. This gave our family a sense of calm and confidence that was needed. Dr. Cancel explained everything to me and my wife clearly before surgery and has exceeded expectations in every regard after surgery as well. I highly recommend Dr. Cancel. Five Stars!!!

I think Dr. Cancel is an outstanding physician. Definitely the urologist you want to go to. He is personable and explains things clearly. Wish he would have been around back when I had prostate cancer. Would have made the ordeal much easier!

Dr. Cancel was compassionate and listened to me. He was thorough in exploring my symptoms and in using tests to assess my condition. He was clear in his evaluation and his explanations of my treatment options. The surgery went well, my recovery was speedy, and his post surgery attention was kind and sincere. He has my confidence and respect.

Dr. Cancel is very Professional and saved my life when he removed my cancerous Kidney. I hate to see him go to NC, and I might have to follow him for future checkups. He is an easy man to talk to. My wife liked him so much she made a doll that resembled him and gave it to him.

Save your time and money , he doesn't know what he is doing . And if you think you need surgery he won't do it he will send you to other Drs . Most likely to Nashville. Total waste of time seeing him..

Be wary of this place. Called in advance to find out how much my initial consultation would be and was quoted $130. I pay and get seen to not really have anything more than be told something I already knew. Then, after I get home, I learn that they are charging me $190 and say I still owe them $60!
