Urology

Urology is a specialty that focuses on diseases of the urinary tract including the kidneys, ureters, urethra and bladder, and the male reproductive organs. Though classified as a surgical specialty, urologists have expertise in internal medicine, pediatrics, and gynecology, due to the many different types of clinical problems seen by this specialty. Our urology team can diagnose and treat common concerns such as prostate enlargement, kidney stones, and recurrent bladder infections. Our team is also available for diagnosis and treatment of more complex issues such as cancers of the prostate, kidney, bladder, and testicles. We offer advanced diagnostics and minimally invasive treatments, where possible, including robotic and laser surgeries, innovative therapies for enlarged prostate, stone removal procedures, and reconstructive surgeries to restore function and quality of life.
