2001, during which he published numerous peer reviewed journal articles, was

including urologic cancer, impotence, urinary incontinence, and minimally invasive
treatments for benign and malignant urological conditions. He has special interests
in minimally invasive treatments for female and male urinary incontinence,
BPH or benign prostatic enlargement (including expertise in the Greenlight
Laser), urinary stone disease (including ureteroscopy, laser lithotripsy and
ESWL), and in-office "no scalpel" vasectomy.
