Services
Rezm Water Vapor Therapy
Rezm Water Vapor Therapy treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) using natural water vapor to reduce prostate tissue. This minimally invasive in-office procedure preserves sexual function and requires no general anesthesia. Patients typically return to normal activities within days, with symptom relief often occurring within two weeks and sustained improvement for up to four years.
UroLift System
The UroLift System offers a minimally invasive solution for enlarged prostate by lifting obstructive tissue without cutting or removal. Permanent implants open the urethra, providing rapid symptom relief while preserving sexual function. Most patients resume daily activities within days and experience improved urinary flow without ongoing medication.
Urologic Oncology
Our urologic oncology team specializes in diagnosing and treating cancers of the prostate, kidney, bladder, testicles, and adrenal glands. We employ advanced surgical techniques like robotic-assisted laparoscopy, cryoablation, and nephrectomy, alongside radiation and hormone therapies. Personalized treatment plans address both early-stage and complex cancers, focusing on preserving organ function and quality of life.
Pediatric Urology
Board-certified pediatric urologists treat congenital and acquired urologic conditions in children, from newborns to teenagers. Specialized care includes surgical correction of abnormalities like hypospadias, undescended testicles, and urinary tract obstructions. Our team emphasizes minimally invasive techniques and long-term management of pediatric urologic health.
Kidney Stone Treatment
We offer comprehensive kidney stone management, including ESWL, ureteroscopy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Diagnostic imaging and 24-hour urine testing identify stone composition, guiding prevention strategies. Treatments address both acute stone removal and long-term recurrence prevention through dietary and medical interventions.
