About
As a board-certified urologic surgeon, I focus on concerns and conditions involving the prostate and genitalia in men as well as kidneys and bladder in both women and men. My special interests include minimally invasive, robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery for prostate and kidney cancer, minimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), “no scalpel” vasectomies and kidney stones.
I chose to specialize in urology because it allows me to be both a surgeon as well as develop a longer term connection in some instances with my patients. I’ll often see a patient for a number of years, or even decades, and we’ll build a great relationship over the course of that time.
I tell my patients that it’s important to take care of their bodies the way they’d take care of a car or a house – things eventually fall apart if they’re not well-maintained. You’ve got to rotate your tires and change the oil because you don’t want the engine freezing up on you; you’ve got to get the roof inspected so it doesn’t fall in during a storm. Regular preventive checkups can prevent a lot of problems, and maintenance can keep any existing problems from getting worse.
We have many treatment options at our disposal and helping the patient choose the right option for them is how I like to approach their care.
I am grateful for the trust my patients place in me for their care. I love doing what I do.
When I’m not with patients, I enjoy spending time with my family, golfing, skiing and playing tennis.
