Treatments

Prostate enlargement (BPH)

Treatment includes the use of medications or the latest minimal invasive techniques such as Urolift, Rezum or Aquablation as alternatives to more traditional surgery.

Prostate cancer

Early detection is the most important factor in effective treatment. We specialize in diagnosing and treating prostate cancer using the latest diagnostic techniques, medications, radioactive implants, cryotherapy and surgery, including nerve-sparing Robotic Radical Prostatectomy.

Urinary stones

We offer both medical and surgical therapies for stone elimination including laser and shockwave lithotripsy. The evaluation and institution of measures to prevent future stones is also an important part of what we do.

Erectile Dysfunction

We evaluate the source of erection difficulties and are able to treat these problems using medications and non-surgical aids. When surgery is necessary it can usually be performed on an outpatient basis.

Incontinence

Many of our patients are successfully treated using conservative non-invasive techniques including computer assisted biofeedback, bladder retraining, behavioral modification medications, and Interstim Therapy. When conservative treatment has not been effective, a variety of alternatives, including minimally invasive procedures are available.

Vasectomy/vasectomy reversal

We utilize a no-needle, no-scalpel technique for doing vasectomies. This allows for a more simplified surgical technique which lowers patient fears and reduces pain. Our group specializes in vasectomy and vasectomy reversal services.

Testosterone Replacement

The primary goals of testosterone therapy are to mitigate the negative signs and symptoms of Testosterone deficiency and improve quality of life. The benefits of treatment may include improvements in sexual activity, sexual desire and erectile function. Monitoring is important after initiating testosterone therapy, for response to treatment and adverse events and this include PSA testing and a Prostate exam often best performed by a urologist.
