Who We Are

The Division of Urology is committed to delivering state-of-the-art care to all patients with problems involving the kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate, and sexual organs.

Common Urologic Problems Include:

• Kidney stones
• Blood in the urine
• Difficulty with urinating, including the inability to urinate
• Urinary incontinence
• Sexual dysfunction
• Hysterectomies
• Elevated PSA levels
• Prostate cancer
• Tumors of the kidneys and bladder

What We Do

We offer the latest in minimally invasive surgical technique including laser surgery, seed implantation for prostate cancer, shockwave lithotripsy, and percutaneous procedures for urinary stone disease. Female incontinence procedures are often performed as an outpatient procedure. Nerve sparing techniques are routinely used when radical prostatectomy is performed to treat prostate cancer. Bladder reconstructive procedures are offered when bladder removal is indicated to treat bladder cancer. 

We are committed to seeing all new physician referrals within a timely manner (usually within 7–10 days). Patients are seen in the surgical specialty clinic on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
