We see patients of all ages and treat both men and women. I do hold every single patient responsible in being involved and informed about their urological condition” expressed the doctor.

Finally, he completed his fellowship at the James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute.

Recognized as a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), the doctor is board-certified in urology by the American Board of Urology (ABU). The mission of the ABU is to act for the benefit of the public by establishing and maintaining standards of certification for urologists, and working with certified urologists to achieve lifelong learning to ensure the delivery of high quality, safe, and ethical urologic care.
