His deep academic grounding is matched by extensive hands-on experience that spans the full spectrum of urological disease.

His commitment to staying current with technological advances and surgical innovation has enabled him to offer patients state-of-the-art minimally invasive options alongside traditional open surgery when clinically indicated.
