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 Ambulatory Surgery Center
I am focused on the surgical and medical management of kidney stones. I do a large volume of surgeries for kidney stones, however what gives me the most satisfaction in my practice is helping my patients prevent kidney stone recurrence. I work closely with my patients to determine the specific causes for their kidney stones. We review this information and then decide on a preventative plan, which often includes dietary changes and even medications. I find it extremely rewarding to help my patients prevent kidney stones, as many of them are surprised that it is possible to prevent them.

Duke Urology Clinic - Clinic 1G
As a urologist in Duke’s comprehensive kidney stone center, I focus on preventing and treating kidney stones using lifestyle changes, medicine and surgery. I see patients who have blood in their urine, problems with urination, as well as kidney stone pain and prevention. I went into urology because it’s a unique field where you can treat a problem with both medicine and surgery. My favorite part of my job is when someone comes in with pain and we are able to help relieve that pain and hopefully prevent it from returning. My hobbies outside of work include keeping up with my young daughter and spending time outside. Dr. Scales is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in the treatment of Obstructive Uropathy.
