Men at Risk

Dr. Ronald E. Wheeler is unique in the medical world and the practice if Urology. Dr. Wheeler is one of the worlds leading diagnostic and treating Prostrate Cancer Specialists based upon a very sophisticated skill set. Dr. Wheeler diagnoses and treats only prostate disease in a full time clinical practice in Sarasota, Florida. Less than a handful of Urologists form around the world can make claim to specializing in prostate related issues only. Dr. Wheelers clinical expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer has superseded the credentialing process. In fact, Dr. Wheeler intends to establish credentialing guidelines for physicians relevant to prostate specific diagnostic and treatment modalities.

Dr. Wheeler is a world expert in High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), having diagnosed and treated more patients for prostate cancer from more countries than any other treating doctor in the world. HIFU worldwide is a viable treatment option for prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and Uterine fibroids in women. Dr. Wheeler is arguable the worlds most acclaimed Urologist in the application of prostate imaging through ultrasound and 3.0 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (with or without spectroscopy) while improving excellence in outcome data compared to doctors who rely on random ultrasound guided biopsies as a questionable standard care. The fact that 40-60% of men fail to be cured from prostate cancer by 7-10 years following radiation or radical prostatectomy (including the Da Vince robot) speaks to the inability of ultrasound to identify cancer accurately and further supports the need for other Urologists to follow the path Dr. Wheeler has chosen.

Beyond this, Dr. Wheeler is the Medical Director for a Tampa, Florida based company that has developed an oncolytic virus that expects to alter the landscape of some of the most unpredictable diseases men and woman face including prostate and breast cancer. Because of Dr. Wheelers passion and expertise, patients seek his leadership in disease assessment from all over the world!
