We specialize in treating common and complex urological conditions using a wide array of diagnostic and surgical procedures, including but not limited to:

• Cystoscopy. Used to see inside your bladder and urethra.

• Prostate surgery using green light laser. Treats enlarged prostate without making any incisions.
• Robotic nephrectomy. Used to treat kidney cancer by removing diseased parts of your kidney through a few small incisions.
• Robotic prostatectomy. Used to treat prostate cancer while minimizing surgical side effects, such as incontinence or impotence.
• Urethra and bladder sling surgery. A synthetic mesh is used to support your urethra or bladder to prevent stress incontinence.
