Our urology services provide care for conditions affecting the urinary tract and male reproductive system. We treat a wide range of urological issues including urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, prostate enlargement (BPH), bladder dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, and urologic cancers such as prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and kidney cancer. Our clinic offers diagnostic tools to accurately assess symptoms such as painful urination, frequent urges, or blood in urine. We provide both non-surgical and surgical treatments, including minimally invasive procedures like ureteroscopy, laser lithotripsy, and UroLift, as well as major surgeries such as prostatectomy, nephrectomy, and cystectomy.
