About My Practice

 

In my practice I enjoy the day to day interaction with my patients as I listen to their urological issues.   I strongly believe patients deserve being treated with compassion and respect.

 

I see females, males, adults and children, for urological conditions ranging from the common to the complex.   My focus is to treat patients with the least invasive and most effective treatment options.

 

I have special interest and training in Female Urology (non-invasive vaginal sling, cystocele, and rectocele procedures), Non-Invasive Prostate Procedures for benign and malignant diseases (laser vaporization, Microwave, TUNA, Cryo-Ablation, and seed implant), Endo-Urology for non-invasive stone and stricture diseases, Laparoscopic Prostate and Kidney Surgery (da Vinci Robotic technique), and Male Infertility (vas reversal).
