For 30 years, we’ve covered the most advanced prostate diagnostics and targeted treatments for managing prostate cancer with the least possible side effects.
Our founder and physician, Dr. Stephen Scionti, is renowned globally for groundbreaking clinical contributions in the field of image-guided prostate cancer ablation. Considered one of the most experienced surgeons utilizing High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), he has performed more than 2,000 procedures across the United States.

The Scionti Prostate Center Approach: traditional diagnostic methods define every patient’s disease the same way. However, every single patient is unique. Many patients have a small, slow-growing cancer with favorable genomic properties. I think of this as a “lamb” because it requires either monitoring (Active Surveillance) or minimal therapy and is unlikely to progress to a life-threatening disease. On the other hand, if a man is diagnosed with a disease characterized by a higher Gleason score and a poor genomic profile indicating that it is faster growing and more aggressive, or what I call a “tiger”, a more aggressive total gland treatment is required. We accurately identify the disease, and we develop the most effective treatment with the least impact possible on quality of life. The Scionti Prostate Center provides your personalized pathway to prostate cancer care. Personalized Precision Diagnosis leads to Personalized Precision Care.

HIFU and TULSA-PRO are both approved in the United States by the FDA for prostate ablation. Advanced MRI guided prostate ablation with HIFU and TULSA-PRO are available in Sarasota at our center of excellence. Don’t trust your prostate cancer treatment to doctors who are “new” to prostate ablation with HIFU or who do not use MRI image guidance.
Please note, that although Dr. Scionti does not accept Medicare reimbursement, his Medicare patients can expect facility fees to be covered for HIFU treatment. TULSA- Pro is not covered by Medicare.
