The Urology Department at the Palo Alto Medical Clinic offers a wide range of services. The department is comprised of three Board-certified urologists and one specialty-trained Physicians Assistant. We offer both medical and surgical care in matters related to the urinary system (kidneys, bladder, urethra) and the male genital system and prostate.

One area of special interest within the department is genito-urinary cancer, including cancer of the prostate, bladder, kidneys and testicles. Prostate cancer is an extremely common problem, with a growing public awareness and a growing array of surgical and non-surgical management options. We provide an integrated approach to cancer with input from consultants in Urology, Radiation Oncology and Medical Oncology.

We also offer a wide range of medical and surgical treatment options for men with benign (non-cancerous) enlargement of the prostate. This condition, known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), causes difficulty emptying the bladder properly. We offer a range of treatments including medications, Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP), and the minimally invasive treatments such as green light laser TURP.

Treatment choices for people with urinary incontinence (leakage) are also expanding. The Urology Department is now able to offer treatments ranging from behavior modification to the newest minimally invasive surgery.

We also offer state-of-the-art treatment of:
  • kidney stones
  • vasectomy
  • infertility, including micro-surgical vasectomy reversal
  • erectile dysfunction
