Although Dr. Karamanian determined that I was not a candidate for laser ablation, he called me personally the very day he received my MRI, answered all questions, and advised me... read more that the radiation recommended by my prostate oncologist was probably the best option for me. I appreciate the time he spent with me (over 2 phone calls) and his candid advice.

  You don't always see five STARS everywhere. Then you wonder if it's too good to be true, I can say ; everything good i read turned out to be true... read more and everything goes as planned. PSA 6.5 BPH size 106 dr. K said it was less and Explained there's different ways to measure it. The MRI showed no cancer: They spent at least four hours for the surgery doing I'm sure the best they could.It was easy and painless actually nurse Donnie takes well care of you. Except for the antibiotic shots.worst part of the whole process was the catheter ,however after 13 days I removed it easily at home. Everything was working good! No problems.No more catheters no more pills! I would've stayed next-door to the office in Houston but they saved me 100 bucks and I stayed at the Zaza hotel. The first day You can walk to their offices it's a nice walk through the park.Plan on using a Uber for everything else, that works out fantastic. No matter how hard you try Juliana wont pick you up anywhere. THANKS PLC TEAM, FLA 2/23 /2020

  I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in mid 2013. During my research, I found information about a relatively new treatment called FLA and began researching the practitioners, one of which... read more was Dr. Ara Karamanian in Houston, TX. After discussing my case with numerous urologists, radiologists and oncologists in 3 different states over 2+ years, I decided on "Dr K" and feel very fortunate that I found him. I was treated by "Dr K" by FLA of the prostate in Dec 2017 after communicating with him for over a year prior and for the 5+ years since. I have found him to be one of the most caring and compassionate physicians I have met. He always gave me whatever time and information I needed pre and post treatment and actual listens to my concerns and desires. He tells you like it is - he doesn't sugar coat it - BUT, he knows how to put you at ease and give you the information needed to make your decision. If only all physicians were as understanding.

  My husband and I are very grateful to Dr. Karamanian for his optimal medical treatment for my husband's prostate condition. He received focal laser ablation and the results were... read more fantastic. If you have a prostate condition that needs treatment, including many cases of cancer, and you want to optimize your chances of keeping your sexual and bladder functioning (who doesn't?) in many many cases I think there's no one better to see than Dr. K. The urologists, even the best ones, will recommend their procedures, but it would seem the risk of horrible permanent side effects is much greater. It is worth checking out to see if focal laser ablation may be the best intervention. Sadly, insurance probably won't cover it. Hoping the future will bring more widespread use of less barbaric treatments for the many men who suffer with prostate conditions. You can read the forum of many smart patients who have been to many smart doctors, on team inspire (prostate community) if you'd like to read more about these matters. But to end this, we found Dr. K to be a fantastic doctor and a fantastic human being.
