The following information details some of our more commonly-performed treatments and services.

Kidney Stones

We offer the latest in minimally-invasive outpatient management of stone diseases including using "shock waves" with superior equipment, holmium lasers, state-of-the-art small telescopes, and video imaging systems. This translates to faster recovery, outpatient procedures (no overnight hospital stay), and you are often able to resume your normal activities the following day!


Hematuria (blood in the urine)

Evaluation for bloody urine (hematuria) may include:

  • Ultrasound imaging (watch interactive video here.)
  • CT Scan ("CAT Scan").  Click here for an interactive tutorial.
  • IVP (x-ray) evaluation. Click here for an interactive tutorial.
  • Cystoscopy (bladder inspection with a very small flexible telescope) - watch a short video about cystoscopy by  clicking here.
  • Urine cytology to look for abnormal cells.
  • Specialized urine testing ("FISH" test) to look for bladder cancer cells.


Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) - Male Bladder Control Problems

We offer in-office treatments to manage your urinary difficulties. You walk in and out of the office the same day to have this treatment. No needles or catheters required for the majority of patients!

Laser prostate procedure (Holmium laser) achieves similar results as the traditional TURP ("roto rooter" or "reaming out"), but is usually performed as an outpatient procedure in the hospital.

Even the traditional "roto rooter" (TURP) is enhanced and made safer using the latest and safest technology currently available (saline solution bipolar resection).


Bladder Control Problems

  • Evaluation of bladder function prior to treatment options through complex urodynamics.
  • Male and female urinary incontinence
  • Minimally invasive female incontinence treatments (such as MiniArc, TVT, TOT, and TVT Secur) are among the many procedures performed.
  • Artificial urinary sphincters are also implanted.
  • Vaginal prolapse repairs are also performed.
  • Pelvic floor reconstruction for cystocele (fallen bladder) and rectocele on an outpatient basis.
  • Neurogenic bladder

Also, available are other minimally invasive treatment options, which maybe combined with intravesical (medicine placed in bladder) chemotherapy/ immunotherapy.

A full range of treatment options available, including freezing of small tumors and removal of cancer and laparoscopic removal of diseased kidney.
