Patients Seen: Ages 13+

Hav­ing been a Urol­o­gist for 20 years, I find that my rela­tion­ship with my patients is cen­tral to their opti­mal care. I take time to get to know them and their care team’ includ­ing their extend­ed fam­i­ly. I get to know their expec­ta­tions, life philoso­phies and help them real­ize that every deci­sion we make regard­ing their care is a shared deci­sion. My patients are aware of the stan­dard of care guide­lines to man­age their con­di­tions, but I always coun­sel my patients on all the avail­able options and allow them to make a tai­lored deci­sion for themselves.

Qual­i­ty mat­ters when it comes to sup­ple­ments. Whether you’re new or expe­ri­enced with sup­ple­ments, trust­ed, qual­i­ty options can sup­port your immu­ni­ty, heart health, and nutri­ent intake. Duly has part­nered with Fullscript, offer­ing access to high-qual­i­ty sup­ple­ments deliv­ered direct­ly to your door. Ask your provider about Fullscript and our exclu­sive dis­counts at your next visit.

Clinical Interests

As a board cer­ti­fied urol­o­gist, my train­ing at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Chica­go Hos­pi­tals has pro­vid­ed me exten­sive train­ing in all aspects of Uro­log­ic care. I uti­lize the most cur­rent tech­niques to treat my patients and am espe­cial­ly inter­est­ed in the Davin­ci Robot­ic plat­form which i have used since 2006. The part­ners in my prac­tice have per­formed well over 1,500 robot­ic cas­es over this peri­od of time which includes surgery for the prostate, blad­der, ureter and kidney.

Personal Interests

Aside from spend­ing time with my love­ly fam­i­ly and friends, I am inter­est­ed in trav­el, cre­at­ing art, home improve­ment projects, ten­nis and watch­ing my kids play sports!
