Clinical Interests

My clin­i­cal inter­ests include man­age­ment of BPH spe­cial­iz­ing in min­i­mal­ly inva­sive non-sur­gi­cal ther­a­pies and blad­der health and con­trol with empha­sis on med­ica­tion free alter­na­tives to improve con­ti­nence and lessen void­ing fre­quen­cy. I also per­form robot­ic assist­ed laparo­scop­ic UPJ obstruc­tion repairs and varic­o­c­elec­tomies. I have a pas­sion for treat­ing pedi­atric uro­log­ic con­di­tions, because I love to see chil­dren thrive with excel­lent results from ther­a­pies cho­sen with parents.

"Dr Smith and the gentleman PA ( I forgot his name) were above and beyond the normal teamwork. I was so well taken care of with totally professional and kindness for my concerns. This is how a patient wants to feel when something like a stent is being removed. It's doesn't get better than with these two individuals caring for you. Thanks you so much for the special attention and the attention to details that made my experience easier than I imagined. Please thank the wonderful staff in front for listening and helping as well! Kind center and great energy and people!"
