Overview
I became a urologist because of my combined love of science and enjoyment in having face to face interactions with people of all walks of life. Being a urologist allows me to help people live their fullest lives. I enjoy helping my patients and serving as resource to talk about very sensitive medical conditions. In addition to my general urology practice, I am also a fellowship-trained reconstructive urologic surgeon. My clinical focus includes the management of urethral stricture disease, treatment of genitourinary fistula, penile cancer, urinary diversion, ureteral reconstruction, neurogenic bladder, treatment of radiation injuries to the urinary tract, erectile dysfunction, male urinary incontinence and treatment of traumatic injuries to the genitourinary tract. I serve as the medical director for clinical quality improvement at HealthPartners, focusing on surgical quality and patient safety.
