Clinical Interests

Enhanc­ing void­ing and con­ti­nence, through ther­a­pies and inter­ven­tions that improve patients’ qual­i­ty of life. For uri­nary incon­ti­nence, I spe­cial­ize in neu­ro­mod­u­la­tion which refines your own nerve con­duc­tion path­ways boost­ing uri­nary con­trol. For BPH, I spe­cial­ize in fash­ion­ing the most effec­tive pro­sta­t­ic chan­nel by the least intru­sive means to increase uri­nary flow and con­trol. I pro­vide a vari­ety of stones treat­ments and pre­ven­tion strate­gies and per­form vasectomies.

Personal Interests

Hik­ing, sports, med­ical mis­sions and church.

"Doctor shows up 35 minutes late, with no apology. He was very rushed, fast talking. Used plenty of medical terms. Wanted to do several tests. When I asked for him to slow down a bit and explain some of the procedures, he was in a rush and said "it'll be in your Mychart." He did write some abbreviations on a card and handed them to an assistant to explain. Very frustrating office visit."
