“Urology is a branch of medicine that combines conservative therapy and surgery. We receive patients with severe diseases:
- Genitourinary cancer;
- Kidney stones;
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia.
I am certain that knowledge is power, so I have long talks with my patients and use simple words to explain what is happening with their bodies and what can be done about it. If the patient has all the necessary information, they can make the right decision.
I have been working in urology for over 30 years. Recently, minimally invasive surgical techniques and robotic technologies have been helping us achieve the best results in treatment.
Back in my day, I underwent additional training in prostate cancer brachytherapy and urologic oncology. My patients are hopeful when they come to me – and they are hopeful when they leave our medical center. It is especially true for cancer. We are able to CURE CANCER. Many patients can be healthy again. For us, physicians, a saved life is the best achievement.”
