Dr Sebastian didn't listen or discuss anything. When I expressed concern for pain he said I have to go farther take a deep breath. From others I've spoken to this procedure usually isn't that painful. In theory the Ativan and Lidocaine should have helped but it seemed as if no medication had been administered. This was worse than other biopsies, colonoscopies or any other procedure I've had. |

I am not one to complete surveys, but in this case I am was looking forward to providing feedback. I left my consultation with Dr. Sebastian and his resident with a sense of complete assurance that I had just encountered 2 experts in the field of prostate cancer. They covered all the pertinent issues, several which I had not considered and provided clear and concise answers regarding my condition enabling me to make a much more informed decision on my treatment options. I greatly appreciate their involvement. they far and away exceeded my expectations |

Dr. Sebastian Is exceptional caring about and listening to my concerns and explanations of my condition. Rather than turning as many patients as he can, he focuses on me and answers all my questions/concerns regardless of the time it takes. That trait more than any other is what patients care about in the reputation developed for the healthcare facility. He is excellent! |

Everyone in the Emory experience, from the receptionist throughout, the staff, could not have been better. I would suggest you keep up the good work in your hiring of Frontline folks who have to meet the public at the beginning of the process. As you know, that is often critical. |

Dr. Sebastian is good at "listening" and providing understandable responses. I have a urologist that I see regularly, and my contact with Dr. Sebastian is intended to cover the "possibility" of future treatments with proton beam for my prostate cancer. However he has been useful at answering a wider range of topics. |
