Dr. Ro Tejwani
Overview
I am a urologist specializing in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) and benign prostatic enlargement (BPH), among other conditions. I use minimally invasive surgical techniques, including surgical lasers and advanced endoscopy, to perform surgery, often without the need for incisions. I am trained to perform a wide range of BPH-related procedures, including HoLEP, TURP, and MIST procedures, as well as complex ureteroscopy, PCNL, and mini-PCNL for stone disease. I became a urologist because urologic problems are often deeply personal and have a significant impact on a person's quality of life. I enjoy listening to my patients, helping them understand their condition, and developing evidence-based treatment plans aligned with their goals and beliefs. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking, running, and keeping up with current events.
His top areas of expertise are Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), Boils, Folliculitis, Lithotripsy, and Ureteroscopy.
His clinical research consists of co-authoring 22 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.

Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
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 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. Dr. Lipkin is highly rated in 20 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Kidney Stones, UPJ Obstruction, 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.
