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
My clinical interests include the minimally invasive management of urinary tract stones, including shock wave lithotripsy, percutaneous, and ureteroscopic stone removal. I completed my training at the University of North Carolina in 1983 and was an American Urological Association Scholar (1983-1985) in the Division of Mineral Metabolism at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas. In 1993, I returned to North Carolina as professor of urological surgery and director of the Duke Comprehensive Kidney Stone Center. Dr. Preminger is highly rated in 19 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Kidney Stones, Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), Boils, Lithotripsy, and Ureteroscopy.
Duke Cancer Center
I specialize in the care of patients with urologic cancers – mainly prostate cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer and testicular cancer. A cancer diagnosis is one of the scariest things that can happen to someone. For many of our patients, they don’t necessarily feel different or look different, but they are scared to death. The most important thing you can get from Duke is real understanding of your particular case and what your options are. Knowledge is so reassuring and empowering for patients, especially those recently diagnosed with cancer. When you’re first diagnosed, you have to put your trust in a care team, and that’s hard to do if you don’t already know them. As the largest cancer center in North Carolina, Duke has great reputation and experience, which helps many patients chose Duke for their care. But we grow and develop our trust with patients because of who we are as people and how much expertise and care we bring to each case. Dr. George is highly rated in 17 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Prostate Cancer, Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC), Familial Prostate Cancer, Nephrectomy, and Orchiectomy.
