Personal Details

She practices general urology, with expertise in areas ranging from infertility to vasectomy, from female urology to urologic oncology and everything in between. She is up on the latest techniques and methods for treatments such as the minimally invasive mini sling for incontinence, the Interstim sacral neuromodulation device for over or under active bladder , and hand assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy for kidney cancer. "I believe that each person is an individual and, as such, should be treated with individualized counseling, therapies and plans of action. Taking an active part in one's healthcare is also very important. That's why I take lots of time with each of my patients, explaining the details of each person's situation so that he or she can be a participant in deciding upon their course of treatment."
