Urology

Most people take for granted the ability to urinate, process the foods we eat and drink and to reproduce, which is why it can be concerning when suddenly something isn’t quite right. As we age, problems with urinary and reproductive systems can become more prevalent. While most of the problems are easily treated, sometimes the symptoms will require further analysis and testing from a urologist.  

Urologists treat conditions involving the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, adrenal glands) and the male reproductive system.
