As a reconstructive urologist, I surgically manage the functional restoration of all urologic organs – specifically, the kidneys, ureter, bladder, urethra, and penis. My interest in becoming a reconstructive urologist arose from my desire to beneficially impact a patient’s quality of life. Many of the patients I see have quality of life problems from a cancer treatment itself. Indeed, the purpose of such cancer treatments are to extend a patient’s lifespan; my focus, specifically, is to optimize a patient’s quality of life.
