As a whole, doctors are a fun, humorous group of people. We have achieved great things just by surviving the rigors of medical school and residency so we have a work hard/play hard mentality. However, out of all the specialties, urologists are probably the funniest given the geographic nature of our field.
That being said, I have graduated fellowship at Cleveland Clinic; the #1 urology program and #2 overall hospital in the country. I have settled down in Charlotte, NC and joined a group of very highly knowledgeable and skilled urologists in private practice. But since it’s urology, I am in the “privates” practice.
The name of the group is Urology Specialists of the Carolinas. I have an office in Matthews and Pineville and will be operating at both Atrium Health and Novant Health. I completed a fellowship and did the majority of my research on single port robotic surgery with the brand new da Vinci SP robot (launched 9/2018) so my interest is in oncology and robotic surgery. However, I am well trained in general urology and will be seeing patients for kidney stones, prostate issues, urination issues, erectile dysfunction, men’s health, and female incontinence.
I am happy and grateful to my previous mentors for such amazing medical and surgical training. I am eager to set up a busy practice and treat the good people of Charlotte, NC!
