When you read the First Dayton Cyberknife at First Dayton Cancer Care it sounds like a walk in the park.
The assistant that inserted the catheter caused a tear/stricture to my left side meatus.
It was a terrible experience, now 7 years later I am having to have a laser meatal dilation. As I now spray urine.
During COVID-19 I was informed to have my PSA drawn. Because my app doesn’t work with his, he refused to discuss my results. Which I could see have decreased by PremierMyChart.
I quickly found another doctor that actually treats me like a human.
The site is still up and it says all procedure risks, prior and after are discussed with the patient.
That’s simply not the case.
I had a prior appointment for several months.
I was called by the receptionist or RN and told to come pick up my records.
I’m certainly glad Dr. Edward Hughes has closed, I only wish he had before he was recommended by my PCP.
I have had many bad results from the full 45 minute, week long treatment.
If you are faced with prostate cancer, personally I implore you to explore all available options.
Do not rely on your PCP’s referral.
As I was personally told I didn’t have to worry about him ever leaving the area. As he has family in Dayton.
I saw him during his last day of practice. He never mentioned he was leaving across country.
Trust no one.

The facility and staff are tops. Always a smile and a very pleasant attitude. Although this has been a trying experience for me; It was nice to have someone listen carefully to my concerns. Always the professional, with words of encouragement and making me feel important. I appreciate the doctor, staff and the facility. Treatment went well. Thanks C. Morgan.

I received radiation following my breast cancer lumpectomy. All staff was upbeat and had a positive attitude. This made treading through cold and snow every day (treatment in Jan & Feb) feel worthwhile. Appointments were worked around my schedule. Dr Hughes always took the time I (and my husband) needed to discuss our medical situation. I would recommend Dr Hughes and this facility to friends and family.

I was treated by Dr. Hughes in 2008 for stage 2 prostate cancer. The treatment included radiation, chemotherapy, hormones, and surgery; a bit of overkill for stage 2 prostate cancer. His treatments have ruined my quality of life. Today I have erectile dysfunction, incontinence, loss of muscle in my left leg, deformation of my left foot, and deterioration of the bones in my hip and left let. I strongly encourage any man with prostate cancer to seek medical treatment most anywhere EXCEPT with Dr. Hughes. He has damaged my lifestyle; do not let him damage your's...
