We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

care philosophy

I evaluate and treat most urologic conditions, and have a special interest in minimally invasive techniques such as the use of the daVinci Robot in surgical procedures. I see patients of all ages, and treat both men and women.
