Urology

The Kidney Stone Clinic helps patients who have been affected by kidney stones with developing prevention strategies going forward.

The clinic starts with urine and blood analysis, followed by a customized plan that includes diet and lifestyle adjustments that can help prevent new kidney stones from forming.

Patients who follow the plan can reduce the recurrence of kidney stones by 65%. Our urologists also have the innovative Moses laser technology to treat kidney, ureteral and bladder stones when they do occur.

Green Light Laser Therapy

Laser therapy gives men seeking relief from non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate — also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — a less invasive treatment option with fewer surgical side effects during recovery.

Non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate, or BPH, affects more than half of all men over the age of 60. Although BPH is a common health problem, many men lack awareness and understanding about the condition, symptoms, treatment solutions and overall health risks with delaying treatment.

Common symptoms of BPH include frequent urination (especially at night), weak urine flow, pain or burning during urination and starting or stopping during urination, which can have a devastating impact on quality of life.

Green Light Laser Therapy enables doctors to conduct the same procedure as previously done with the transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in a less invasive, outpatient setting. Using a laser, doctors are able to remove the tissue that causes the prostate to enlarge. While there may be some similar side effects to those seen with the TURP procedure, they are typically less severe and shorter lived.

More than 250,000 men worldwide have been treated with Green Light Laser Therapy. The procedure can be done on patients with more advanced prostate problems or patients with a history of cardiac issues who would not have been candidates for the more invasive surgical option.

UroLift System

The UroLift System is another minimally invasive approach to treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) for patients looking for an alternative to drug therapy or surgery. The UroLift System is a procedure that utilizes tiny implants to lift and hold the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way so it no longer blocks the urethra. There is no cutting, heating or removal of prostate tissue.

The goal is to relieve you of bothersome urinary symptoms so you can get back to your life and resume daily activities.
