Our fellowship-trained urologists subspecialize in certain areas of urology. This high-level training provides a greater expertise in specific conditions and treatments.

Our urologists work with specialists across UC Davis Health to provide comprehensive care. Frequent partners include nephrologists, pediatricians, gynecologists and medical oncologists.

Our urologic research program is one of the largest in the U.S. We are helping advance the understanding of urologic diseases and how to treat them more effectively.

Female urologic conditions include urinary problems, such as incontinence, overactive bladder and urinary tract infections (UTIs). Our urologists also treat pelvic floor disorders and pelvic pain.

Urologic infections are common and can cause pain and inflammation. Examples include cystitis (bladder infection), pyelonephritis (kidney infection) and prostatitis (prostate infection).

Kidney stones are mineral deposits that form in your kidneys. Small stones may pass through your urinary tract with no pain. Larger stones can get stuck and cause severe pain and bleeding.

Many urologic conditions affect men. Some include incontinence, male infertility and sexual dysfunction, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and testicular torsion.

Urologic conditions that affect children are different from those affecting adults. They include congenital abnormalities, sexual development disorders, daytime and nighttime wetting, and kidney stones.

Incontinence covers a range of issues. You may leak urine or have trouble making it to the bathroom in time when you feel the urge to urinate. You may also struggle to empty your bladder fully. Incontinence affects people of all ages and genders.

Cancer can occur nearly anywhere in the urinary tract or male reproductive system. Our urologists are part of UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, a nationally recognized program offering state-of-the-art cancer care.

In this minimally invasive procedure, our surgeons insert a camera and pencil-sized instruments through several small incisions in your abdomen. We use laparoscopic surgery to treat kidney cancer and other kidney conditions. We can also repair undescended testicles in children.

Microsurgery uses a microscope and tiny instruments to perform finely detailed operations. You may receive microsurgery to close off enlarged veins in your testicle (varicocele). We also use microsurgery for sperm retrieval as part of fertility treatment. 

Our surgeons perform detailed surgical procedures to repair physical abnormalities or damaged tissues. We also use reconstructive techniques to place penile implants for erectile dysfunction treatment.

Robotic surgery is the leading edge of care for prostate removal due to cancer or BPH. This highly precise surgery helps surgeons avoid damaging the nerves around your prostate that control urination and sexual function.

Botox injections are an important treatment for an overactive bladder. In this condition, the muscles around your bladder contract uncontrollably, making you feel like you always have to urinate. We inject Botox into these muscles to help them relax.

Erectile dysfunction is a common side effect of surgery and radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Penile rehabilitation involves a personalized mix of medications, injections and exercises to help speed recovery and improve erections.

If you have incontinence or other urinary conditions, urodynamic testing helps assess how well your bladder is working. It involves a group of tests to assess bladder pressure, your urine stream and the filling and emptying of your bladder.
