Wanting to be the best in my profession
“My goal is to make lasting improvements in my patients’ lives and be the go-to guy who is respected for solving the most complex urologic problems. This way, patients and doctors can turn to me knowing I can tackle their urologic needs no matter how big or small. I chose urology because it involves a wide array of surgical problems while allowing me to maintain long-term relationships with patients. I get great satisfaction helping my patients understand their problems. It is important to be able to discuss and offer all treatment options available, both surgical and nonsurgical. If surgery is necessary, I offer the latest, least invasive techniques to return you to your normal life more quickly.”

Where Compassion And Advanced Technology Meet
“My focus is on you, and my goal is to get you back on your feet fast. Whether your problem is minor or life-threatening, I’m here to see you through it. I always try to find the best solution and, often, that does not require surgery. For those with surgical problems, I use laparoscopic and robotic technology to perform complicated procedures such as prostatectomy and total or partial nephrectomy. My patients benefit from smaller scars, shorter hospital stays, if any, and better results. In the end, I enjoy seeing my patients do well – there’s nothing better than that.”
