Care Philosophy: As a reconstructive urologist, I help to surgically restore the function of urologic organs: the kidneys, ureter, bladder, urethra, and penis. My interest in becoming a reconstructive urologist arose from my desire to improve a patient's quality of life. Whether it's addressing male stress urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, urethral strictures, or complications arising from previous surgeries or radiation, I am dedicated to tailoring personalized treatment plans. For patients in need of abdominal reconstruction of the kidney, ureter, and/or bladder specifically, I am trained in managing patients through either open or robotic approaches. Ultimately, my goal is to empower patients to regain their confidence, and restore normal function after reconstructive urological interventions. By building a strong doctor-patient relationship, I aim to create a comfortable and supportive environment where patients feel heard and actively participate in their treatment decisions.

Care Philosophy: I believe that patient education is essential to the collaborative effort between physician and patient to achieve an optimal outcome. In my practice, I spend the extra time to make certain that my patients have a thorough understanding of both their illness and the treatment options available. My particular areas of focus are Men's Heath, as well as voiding dysfunction in both Men and Women. A particular passion of mine is Community Health Awareness of Urologic Disease. I have organized numerous educational and screening programs involving prostate cancer awareness and bladder health.
