Dr. Gary J. Faerber
Overview
I received my M.D. from Temple University in Philadelphia and then completed my residency in urology at the University of Michigan in 1989. I remained on faculty at Michigan and rose to the academic rank of Professor and was the Edward J. McGuire Research Professor. In 2016, I joined the faculty as Professor of Urology in the Department of Surgery at the University of Utah. I am delighted to join the Urology team here at Duke. My main area of clinical interest is in both the surgical and medical management of kidney stone disease. I also have an interest in medical education and have devoted my professional life to both of these endeavors. I have authored over 120 articles and have been honored by being named to the University of Michigan League of Medical Educators and to the University of Utah School of Medicine Academy of Health Science Educators.

Duke Raleigh Hospital
Prior to arriving at Duke, I was faculty at UT Southwestern where I had a dual appointment at the North Texas VA for 10 years. During this time, I was one of the highest volume robotic VA surgeons treating veterans with urologic cancer in addition to my clinic practice at UTSW. I joined the Urology department at Duke in 2024. At Duke, I have continued my focus on urologic oncology, specifically prostate, bladder and kidney cancer. I have a particular interest in prostate cancer. I was one of the earliest adopters of a novel surgical technique termed the Retzius Sparing Prostatectomy, which allows for the earlier return urinary control. I have further adopted a novel technique for the treatment of localized prostate cancer known as irreversible electroporation (IRE). This technique is a form of focal therapy for carefully selected patients. The advantages of IRE include less urinary and sexual side effects than conventional prostate cancer treatments. In addition, my clinical expertise includes advanced robotic reconstruction of the upper urinary tract. These procedures involve using segments of bowel or buccal grafts (inner lining of the cheek) to reconstruct damaged ureters.
