About Us

 

A foundation of excellence

Urology Services at The Methodist Hospital brings together highly trained and experienced doctors utilizing state-of-the-art technology and leading-edge treatments. A wealth of ongoing research creates specialized advances in medical and surgical care delivered in a respectful, trusting environment that recognizes patients' individual needs.

The Service is affiliated with a world-renowned health care organization, The Methodist Hospital. The formation of the service offers access to the combined expertise and knowledge of more than 30 board-certified physicians and the benefit of hundreds of highly trained health professionals in nursing, counseling, rehabilitation, radiology and other specialties.

Urology Services recognizes that there are often a number of different ways to approach a particular problem. For example, with prostate cancer there are different treatment options, different approaches, new techniques and new research...there's no one cut-and-dried answer to every situation. Urology Services believes that patients can benefit much more when physicians work together, share information and approach individual cases as a team. Urology Services can ensure that patients have all the information they need-- they have access to some of the best physicians anywhere who can help them choose a treatment plan that's right for them, one that incorporates all the areas of health care they might need.

Urology Services specializes in a wide range of urological conditions:

  • Prostate Cancer
  • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH
    (Non-Cancerous Prostate Enlargement)
  • Incontinence
  • Male Infertility
  • Bladder Disease and Cancer
  • Kidney Disease and Cancer
  • Impotence

"This service supports numerous research projects and clinical trials, focusing on new drugs, procedures and techniques for treating urological dysfunction."

"Many of the advances in urological care over the past several years were developed or tested at The Methodist Hospital," he explains. "And we are continuing to push the envelope every day seeking new and better treatments. The focus on research has a direct benefit to our patients...we're bringing new techniques and treatments to the bedside months or even years before their use becomes widespread."
