Urology

This branch of medicine focuses on the urinary tract of males and females and on the reproductive system of males. This specialty involves diseases of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra in addition to the male reproductive organs. Conditions commonly treated by a urologist include kidney stones, kidney cancer, enlarged prostate, prostate cancer, circumcision, bladder disorders, erectile dysfunction, incontinence and vasectomy.

A urologist requires at least nine years of education and training to become board certified by the American Board of Urology. This education includes four years of medical school; a five-year urology residency, which includes one year of general surgery; three years in clinical urology; and a minimum of six months in general surgery, urology or a clinical discipline relevant to urology. A urologist may also complete a two-year fellowship in a specialized area of urology.

To give you the broadest range of coverage, we have urologists in our Lakeside Community Healthcare Group as well as affiliations with urologists through our Lakeside Community Healthcare Network.
