Types of urological services we offer
After examining your condition, symptoms and overall health, your urological care team will communicate and collaborate with you throughout treatment and recovery.
Diagnostics for urological conditions
If you experience urinary or bladder symptoms, you may not be certain what they mean — or when it’s time to see a specialist. Troubling urinating, frequent UTIs and blood in your urine are all signs you need to schedule an appointment with a medical professional. At our facility, board-certified urologists begin your care with a thorough evaluation, which may include:
- Blood testing
- Imaging, such as ultrasound or computerized tomography (CT) scans
- Medical history
- Physical exam
- Specialized testing, such as cystoscopy or urodynamic studies
- Urine testing
Kidney stone treatment
Kidney stones can cause discomfort, nausea and changes in urination when they move through your urinary tract. Our urology specialists evaluate the size, location and type of stone to determine the most appropriate treatment. Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive techniques designed to remove or break up stones while supporting your recovery.
Treatment recommendations are based on your symptoms, overall health and whether the stone is likely to pass on its own. Your care team will explain each option before proceeding. Your treatment options may include:
- Medication management — Prescription medications to manage discomfort, relax the ureter or reduce the risk of future stone formation.
- Shock wave lithotripsy — A noninvasive procedure that uses focused sound waves to break kidney stones into smaller pieces so they can pass naturally through the urinary tract.
- Ureteral stent placement — A temporary tube placed in the ureter to support urine flow from the kidney to the bladder and reduce obstruction or swelling.
- Ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy — A minimally invasive procedure in which a thin scope is passed through the urinary tract to locate and fragment stones using laser energy.
Prostate treatment
Prostate changes are common, particularly as men age. These changes may include inflammation, enlargement of the prostate or the development of prostate cancer. If prostate cancer is suspected, we most often use MRI-guided prostate biopsy for advanced cancer detection.
Our treatment recommendations depend on your diagnosis and personal preferences, and may include active surveillance, medication, surgery or a referral to an oncology specialist.
MRI-guided prostate biopsy
An MRI-guided prostate biopsy combines detailed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images with real-time guidance to precisely target suspicious areas. This approach helps find cancers that may be missed with standard methods and avoid unnecessary sampling of low-risk areas. This biopsy may be right for you if you experience:
- Abnormal findings on a prostate exam
- Elevated or rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels
- MRI showing a suspicious area in the prostate
- Prior biopsy that was negative, but symptoms or PSA changes continue
Urinary incontinence treatment
Urinary incontinence can affect your daily routine, sleep and quality of life. Our specialists evaluate the type and cause of incontinence, such as stress incontinence, urge incontinence or mixed incontinence, to determine your best possible treatment.
Many people can benefit from conservative therapies, while others may need to explore surgical options. Your care team will create a personalized plan focused on helping you regain bladder control, as well as improve comfort and confidence in daily activities.
Urethral sling surgery for stress urinary incontinence
Stress urinary incontinence occurs when physical movement or activity puts pressure on your bladder, leading to leakage. A urethral sling is a minimally invasive outpatient surgical procedure, typically performed through small incisions to provide support to the urethra and help prevent urine leakage. Your activity is limited for a short time after urethral sling surgery, with a gradual return to a normal routine.
