Available to consult on second opinions for prostate cancer


Dr. Glover is a top specialist in urologic medicine who has been practicing in the DC metro area for over 40 years. He has successfully treated thousands of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer. A former clinical professor of urology at George Washington University for 30 years as well as former president of both the Virginia Urologic Society and Washington Urologic Society, Dr. Glover has been a consistent leader in bringing new innovations in prostate cancer treatment into the Washington area for decades. Long troubled by the severe complications typical of of radical prostatectomies, he sought out safer less invasive effective treatments and was the first to introduce minimally invasive techniques of Cryo Ablation and HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) into the area.

He received his medical training at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in 1965, followed by Walter Reed General Hospital in Washington, D.C. As former Special Forces (Green Beret), Dr. Glover was posted to the First Special Forces Group on operations across Southeast Asia, where he was promoted to Group Surgeon. At Ft. Devens Army Hospital in Massachusetts, he received a special commendation for his activities in that post as chief of the emergency department and department of hospital clients.

Dr. Glover served on the board of the American Association of Clinical Urologists for eight years and is a past president of the Virginia Urologic Society and the D.C. Urologic Society. Throughout his years of dedication to the field, he has advocated for cutting-edge techniques and noninvasive or minimally invasive procedures to improve care for his patients, including microwave therapy for prostatic carcinoma and renal carcinoma, and cryoablation for benign obstruction. He has also pioneered microsurgical vasectomy reversal, endourology, and transrectal ultrasound prostate needle biopsy techniques.

Why you should seek a second opinion for your prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Would another doctor agree with your diagnosis and treatment plan? Does your primary physician have specialized expertise in your unique condition? What are all your options? A second opinion can help you answer these questions and more.

FAST FACTS

Most doctors welcome other doctors’ opinions.Your primary doctor won’t be offended and you shouldn’t feel embarrassed. In fact, getting a second medical opinion is good practice. The more you know, and the more informed your healthcare team is about your unique condition, the better your medical care can be.

Second opinions for medically necessary procedures are covered by most health insurance plans.It’s important to check with your insurance provider about your individual plan, but most patients find that a second opinion (or a third opinion) is covered by health insurance. In some cases, it’s even required.

A second pair of eyes can offer specialized expertise.If your test results aren’t clear or are inconclusive, or if there are other options for treating your condition, a second opinion can provide additional insight, expertise, and confidence in your treatment plan.
