MICHAEL J. FUMO, MD - ROCKFORD UROLOGICAL ASSOCIATES, LTD. REVIEWS
After being diagnosed with prostate cancer my urologist referred me to Dr Fumo for the surgery. His words, I’m okay at robotic, but if you want the best Dr Fumo is who you want to see. I will say thank God I did. He is compassionate and caring and is probably one of the best surgeons you are going to find in the Midwest. Dr Fumo, this review is long overdue and my apologies for that, my wife and I cannot thank you enough for saving my life. Words can’t describe how grateful I am and always will be. I must add, I completely disagree about the previous review on Dr Fumo’s bedside manner. The day of my surgery we were a little behind schedule, but Dr Fumo knew I was extremely nervous. The nurses were trying to keep him on schedule, due to his busy day, but he stopped took the time to just discuss what we both did over the weekend to calm me down. He didn’t care about his schedule, he cared about his patient that was about to have his prostate removed due to cancer. Thank you again for everything.
Had dr Fumo for my kidney removal, he did an excellent job, everything was explained on how I would feel afterwards, he would talk to me and my wife so we could understand what was gonna happen, I would highly recommend him.
It has been a few years now since my R.P. From the moment that I was given my "Big C" diagnosis to my surgery and follow up all the way up to today Dr. Fumo has been the best. I am well, cancer free, and it is great to be under the care of Doctor and his staff.

Dr. Whelan is an amazing doctor. His skill as a surgeon is outstanding, and his bedside manor is very personable and reassuring as well as informative. He always takes his time in going over everything and does not make you feel rushed. I felt complete confidence in him throughout my entire procedure and follow up care.

ERIC R. TAYLOR, MD - ROCKFORD UROLOGICAL ASSOCIATES, LTD. REVIEWS
Dr. Taylor has worked with me through kidney stone issues and prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment. His caring and pleasant manner is accompanied by time spent professionally. I always come away from a visit with the impression that he cares. Highly recommend, but don't make him so busy I can't see him in a timely manner! :-)
Dr. Taylor is an incredibly compassionate Physician. He can explain complex, scary health issues in layman's terms. He is patient and truly cares about those he treats. He was a gift to our family.
He's very kind, knowledgeable about the heart. I would recommend him to anyone.
