Nicholas Laryngakis MD — Local services in Saint Petersburg

Dr Laryngakis Saved my Life. I started to go to Dr Laryngakis in 2012 for issues unrelated to prostate cancer. During my exams he started monitoring my PSA. I had records of my PSA from the early 2005, which I gave to the Dr during my first visit. In 2013 my PSA was 1.9; In 2014 my PSA 2.2. Both of these were below the red flag of 4.0. Dr Laryngakis put my PSA score back from 2005 into a modeling system, which indicated that my PSA was elevating too fast. My older brother (9 years older) has a PSA of 8.0 and has had multiple biopsies, all negative. So, I did not pay much attention to Dr Laryngakis warning. In 2015 my PSA was 2.9, Dr Laryngakis was concerned, I was not. He pushed me to get a blood test that would help tell if I had cancer. It came back that I had a 56% chance of having cancer. I was still totally unconcerned but accepted to have the biopsy, to frankly get him off my back. Well, he was correct; I had prostate cancer with a gleason score of 7. At age 56, with a gleason score of 7, I was facing a scary situation. I had Robotic Prostatectomy 6 weeks after my diagnosis. The surgery went well. I was back at work 3 weeks after the operation. At six months everything was back to normal. It is now 4 years since my surgery and I have never needed radiation or additional treatments. Dr Laryngakis went beyond what I expected from a health professional. If he would not have caught the cancer so early, my surgery may have not produced such a good outcome. Dr Laryngakis has an angel on his shoulder, or maybe I do. Thank you Doc to you and your...

Dr. Laryngakis is exactly the kind of doctor everyone needs. He is patient, kind, and very thorough. I’m a female in my 20s who suffered for years in pain and was always misdiagnosed and dismissed by other doctors with how I was feeling. Dr. Laryngakis took the time needed, he really listened to me, ordered all the right tests, and even double checked those tests to make sure he was targeting the correct area. I ended up needing surgery which made me absolutely terrified in addition to the concern I initially felt with having a male doctor, but he reassured me that he would do everything he could for a successful outcome and he did just that. He took extra precaution and care with my surgery and it resulted in a successful outcome. It’s been a few months since my surgery and I can happily report that I’m healthy and feel no pain. He helped me get a piece of my life back and for that I’ll be forever...

I could not be happier with the care I received from Dr. Laryngakis. His bedside manner is excellent. He explains everything thoroughly and listens carefully. His office staff is excellent as well. My appointments were always close to on time. I had a robotic surgery which went exceedingly well. I did not need any pain meds, just ibuprofen for a couple of days. He told me there was a possibility that I would have difficulty controlling my bladder and might have to wear a diaper for up to six months. Surgery was only 6 weeks ago and I’m back to normal. He said he was able to save the nerves surrounding my prostate and I expect I will regain my male function as well. I highly recommend Dr Laryngakis and am thankful to him and his team for their...
