Jim C. Hu, M.D., MPH

Dr. Jim C. Hu at NYP/Weill Cornell is an outstanding urologic oncology surgeon. I had a robotic prostatectomy with him, and from the first visit he was thorough, calm, and extremely clear about the plan and what to expect. He answered every question and made me feel confident throughout the process. The surgery and follow-up care were excellent, my recovery went smoothly, and my results have been excellent. His team was also professional and responsive. I’m truly grateful to Dr. Hu and highly recommend him to anyone who needs urologic cancer surgery.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude and sincerest compliments to Dr. Jim Hu for being a compassionate doctor and amazing surgeon during one of the darkest periods of my life. As anyone would be, I was devastated upon hearing my prostate cancer diagnosis and after learning of the potential side effects of the treatments available, my fears only magnified. But Dr. Hu took the time to explain all of my options and possible outcomes, weighing the pros and cons of each treatment. While the medical field currently holds the cyber knife ( radiation) treatment as the most popular approach to combatting prostate cancer, Dr. Hu informed me that surgery was also a viable choice. He compared all the variables involved in each procedure and explained that a patient having underwent the cyber k

(One year status report post prostatectomy: PSA zero. Incontinence zero. Sexual function 100%! Dr. Hu is one of the leaders in robotic assisted surgery and living in NYC I could have gone to MSKCC, but I am very happy I went with Weil Cornell and Dr. Hu). One year ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and was referred to Dr. Hu. (I am 65 yrs old). After the biopsy I did a lot of research on surgery vs radiation. In my consultation with Dr. Hu, my wife and I were extremely impressed with his calming and reassuring manner. His explanation was very detailed but easy to understand for the lay-person. During the consult I made the decision to go with surgery over radiation for several reasons. I wanted to completely remove the cancer and read that radiations effects can cause problems later

As I turned the page of my life at 80, I look back at all the good and the very best blessings that have graced my existence. Among the most magnificent of them was meeting Dr. Jimmy C. Hu, my Urologic Surgeon. When my four children sought a second opinion regarding a radical nephrectomy, Dr. Hu graciously gave me an appointment despite his demanding schedule. His remarkable precision, expertise, and humane approach to my frazzled nerves gave me the courage to face my fears. He promptly referred my biopsy to Pathology and arranged an appointment in Oncology with Dr. Cora Sternberg. Furthermore, he assured me that he would present my case at their Medical Forum. He carried out his profession with passion far beyond the call of duty. I was over the moon. At that moment, I chose him — for

Dr. Jim Hu of Weill Cornell Medicine performed my RARP (Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy) less than 2 weeks ago. This review platform only had a maximum of 5 stars; Dr. Hu and his team warrant 10 stars! I researched many doctors, however, from the moment I first saw Dr. Hu, the strong vibe I felt was unmistaken: his demeanor was direct yet compassionate, powerfully confident yet humble, and thorough yet easy to understand. Every second of the way, in my mind, I believed that Dr. Hu was the best of the best in the world-and I have now seen the proof of what I believed! So far, my post surgical recovery has exceeded even my most optimistic of expectations- the leaking I feared has been barely anything and every day I get stronger and stronger! The rest of Dr. Hu's team were also thorou
