Dr. Uday R. Poonamallee

I believe in providing my patients the type of care that I would want provided for myself or my family. I believe in quality of life being most important in managing my patients’ problems.I believe in giving my patients time to tell their story, and value and appreciate their time, waiting to see me. I want to give my patients all the information they need to make a truly informed decision in their treatment. My role is to navigate them through all the complexity of medical decision making, not to tell them what to do. I try to talk to them as a friend or neighbor, and avoid a lot of medical jargon.If I can fix their problem with a surgical approach, then I will do so with greatest care to detail, to maximize the success and minimize the likelihood of harm. I always remember the Hippocratic Oath, of “do no harm” to my patients.After doing this for over 30 years, I truly believe, that building a relationship with my patients, so that they build trust in me as a person and as a doctor, so that they are more likely to follow my advice and recommendations, is the way to practice good medicine.I was born to two parents who were both doctors. So I have been around medicine all my life. Ever since I can remember, that’s all I wanted to do. What drew me to a career in medicine, especially surgery, was the immense satisfaction that I felt when I was able to make a difference in someone’s life. Everyday I get this feeling when I am taking care of someone, either in the office or in surgery. This has kept me going for over 30 years, and has made it easier to bear the burden and fatigue on some days when it seems overwhelming. If I had to do it all over again, I certainly wouldn’t change my career choice.Special Clinical Interests: I am currently focusing on minimally invasive procedures to treat enlarged prostates. I also focus on urinary incontinence in men and women, as well as sexual dysfunction in men.
