Patient Instructions (Hospital Discharge)

Hospital discharge instructions are your essential guide for a safe and smooth recovery at home after your hospital stay. They provide crucial information about your medications, follow-up appointments, activity restrictions, and important warning signs to watch for. Review these instructions carefully with your care team and ask any questions to ensure a clear understanding of your continued care and healing process.

I am a urologist specializing in the medical, procedural, and surgical management of urinary symptoms in men and women including urinary leakage and difficulty urinating, female urethral disorders, pelvic organ prolapse, and bladder dysfunction caused by a neurologic condition, injury, or cancer treatment. The conditions I treat can have a profound impact on quality of life and may lead to physical and emotional discomfort and social isolation. I recognize my patients’ need for approachable, comforting, and compassionate care that will allow them to navigate their symptoms and treatment options. Together, we develop an individualized diagnostic and treatment plan that focuses on understanding why symptoms are present and how we can best manage them.
