Patients speak
I was operated on by Prof. Calarco for prostate cancer — first a biopsy, then a radical prostatectomy using the Da Vinci Robot. His expertise and reassuring manner put me completely at ease throughout. The procedure was a complete success despite some anatomical complexities. I highly recommend Dr. Calarco for any urological issue.
Finally a highly experienced, prepared, and available professional who puts patients at ease by explaining the condition and how to tackle it with clarity. He builds a genuinely empathetic relationship and answers every question — so that the patient develops complete trust and feels absolutely calm.
He brilliantly resolved my bladder neck hypertrophy where other specialists had failed using laser technology. He is extremely serious, competent, and empathetic — he listens to the patient's needs and uses the most advanced techniques and equipment available.
I want to highlight his deep professionalism despite the relentless pace he keeps. So satisfied that at my one-month follow-up I booked an appointment for another friend. Young, personable, expert, and passionate about his work — what more could you ask of a doctor?
