Meet the Team

Central Peninsula Urology currently operates with one employed urologist who is the sole local urologist serving the entire Kenai Peninsula. Dr. Cadoff has built a well-regarded practice over many years and has been an active and welcoming ambassador for every candidate who has come through the recruitment process. He is beginning to ratchet down his schedule and is actively supportive of bringing in one or two new urologists to ensure continuity of care for his patients.

Dr. Cadoff is described by hospital leadership as a great ambassador for the practice. He personally reaches out to urology candidates before site visits, participates in phone conversations independently, and provides the hospital with candid feedback on each candidate's fit. His approach is collaborative and he is fully aligned with hospital leadership on the search. The website notes he is the only local urologist serving the Kenai Peninsula.
