Clinical Interests

My major exper­tise is in recon­struc­tive urol­o­gy. That entails the sur­gi­cal recon­struc­tion of the penis, ure­thra, blad­der, ureters and kid­ney. I am also an expert in man­age­ment of post prostate can­cer surgery com­pli­ca­tions — like ED and uri­nary incon­ti­nence. In my 20 years of prac­tice, I have per­formed well over 1500 major uro­log­ic recon­struc­tive surg­eries. I am also a very expe­ri­enced pros­thet­ic sur­geon with penile implants and arti­fi­cial uri­nary sphincters.

"Dr. Brandes is a no nonsense Dr. I think he could have spent a little more time with me. He proposed what he wanted to start with and we will go from there."

Jan. 29, 2024
"Dr. Not thorough and did not listen to my questions or answer them. Exam was slight, did not treat problem and did not get my labwork (the reason I was there) and said to return in a month----so no care and treatment for a month."
2.4
Jan. 28, 2024
"Doctor was very short and seemed to be in a rush. Did not explain things well and did not show a desire to learn about my experience and medical situation. This led to me not having all my questions answered and not feeling confident with my care. After waiting 3 months for the appointment, and considering I was being very kind and respectful, it was disappointing to not receive the same respect back. Our hour long appointment meet lasted 15 minutes."
