Expertise & Experience

Our team is comprised of fellowship-trained urologists who have unparalleled expertise in their specialty. Each one of our faculty members also subspecializes in a small number of urologic diseases, where they gain vast experience and become a master in that field. We pair patients with the physician who is the most experienced and skillful in managing their particular condition.

 

Clinical Trials

As leaders in their respective fields, our urologists lead and participate in clinical trials. We provide our patients access to the most cutting-edge clinical trials available for urologic diseases.

Minimally Invasive Techniques

Our surgeons have been innovators in developing and using minimally invasive surgical techniques. Some of the benefits of minimally invasive surgery include a faster recovery, less scarring and a shorter hospital stay when compared to traditional open procedures. In addition to other minimally invasive techniques, our surgeons use the Da Vinci Surgical System, a sophisticated robotic device, to perform surgery for conditions such as prostate, kidney, testicular and bladder cancer as well as benign disease. We are leaders in robotic urologic surgery.

Quality-of-Life Issues

University of Chicago Medicine experts are sensitive to quality-of-life issues, particularly related to the patient's ability to urinate normally and to retain sexual functioning after cancer surgery. We employ a comprehensive treatment approach that safeguards the patient's quality of life at the same time.

Excellent, Compassionate Staff

Our section's diverse staff members are recognized for their high quality, kind and compassionate care. We consistently receive the highest patient satisfaction scores and feedback. This staff includes certified medical assistants, patient navigators, nurse specialists, residents, fellows and board-certified urologists.
