Urology 24 years experience
Urology: This is the specialty that deals with the genital and urinary symptoms.
Like the kidneys, ureter, and bladder. In men we also deal with the prostate, testes, penis and urethra.
Urologists are surgeons. We treat cancers of the above areas. We also treat kidney stones, urination, and reproductive issues in men.
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.
