The urology practice offers a diverse and stimulating clinical environment, addressing a broad spectrum of patient needs and providing advanced, cutting-edge care. Serving a growing patient base, the practice specializes in core areas of urology, including the treatment of kidney stones, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and enlarged prostates. While primarily focused on adult care, the team occasionally manages pediatric cases to support community needs, although this is not a primary focus.
Patients benefit from access to advanced technology, including four Da Vinci Xi robotic systems, which enable precision and efficiency in minimally invasive procedures. These state-of-the-art resources are complemented by a fully integrated Epic EMR system, ensuring seamless patient record management and coordination across the healthcare continuum.
The practice values accessibility and efficiency, striving to meet its goal of having 70% of new patients seen within 14 days. The addition of another urologist is part of a broader effort to improve patient access and reduce wait times, which currently extend beyond ideal limits due to high demand. Call responsibilities are shared among the team and are supported by nurse practitioners, who also provide same-day appointments to help manage patient flow effectively.
The clinical team emphasizes a balanced workload, with each physician maintaining three clinic days and two dedicated OR days per week. Collaborative care is a cornerstone of the practice, with two nurse practitioners and 2.5 pelvic floor therapists integrated into the clinic to support patient needs. The inclusion of pelvic floor therapy on-site provides a seamless experience for patients requiring these specialized services, many of whom are referred internally or through related specialties like OB/GYN and colorectal surgery.
Opportunities for professional growth abound, particularly for physicians with an interest in robotic-assisted surgery or those seeking to specialize in specific areas of urology. Additionally, the practice offers a supportive structure for those interested in mentorship or teaching, allowing physicians to contribute to the development of the next generation of urology professionals.
