  There are many active therapy options available to men today, including chemotherapy, hormone therapy, cryotherapy, and radiation.
• Medical Weight Loss
  Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer diagnosed in the United States and affects approximately one in every six men. Early prostate cancer has no symptoms and is usually discovered with a routine PSA test. As prostate cancer progresses, lower urinary tract symptoms may occur such as a weak urinary stream, difficulty starting your stream, or getting up at night. Late symptoms may include weight loss, back or hip pain. However, these symptoms do not necessarily mean you have prostate cancer.
• Male Infertility
  Statistically, about 13-15% of all couples will experience some sort of difficulty when trying to conceive a child. Infertility can be caused by either partner or even by both persons. If the male partner is the source of these issues, then this is known as a case of male infertility.
• Erectile Dysfunction
• Urinary Incontinence
  Male urinary incontinence is a common condition for men near Phoenix that can make it difficult to have an active lifestyle. The good news is incontinence is treatable. There are both surgical and non-surgical treatment methods for incontinence and the best way to determine which is right for you is to consult with your urologist.

Gynecologists

• Female Infertility
• Pelvic Pain
• Pregnancy
• Labor and Delivery
  Women who have a family history of pelvic organ prolapse or have had a vaginal birth are more vulnerable to this condition. It can be treated if it does occur, but more importantly, there are ways women can prevent pelvic organ prolapse before it happens.

Internists

• Bladder Cancer
  There are a variety of bladder cancers that an individual may encounter. The primary difference between these multiple types lies in the specific origin of the cancer. For example, bladder cancer that begins within the muscle cells is not the same as cancer that exists within the lining of the bladder.
• Urology
  At our urology clinic in Gilbert, AZ, Dr. Simoncini and Dr. Shaba are board-certified urologists with over 30 years of experience providing the highest quality of care to patients in the area. With their expertise, they can provide comprehensive diagnoses and treatment plans to ensure the best possible outcome.
• Kidney Cancer
  Kidney cancer is also known as renal cancer. The cancerous cells tend to begin in the tiny tubes of the kidney, which is diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma, hence the name “renal cancer”. Luckily, in most cases, kidney cancer is found before it is able to spread.
• Kidney Stones
  Kidney stones are a common condition that can affect people of all ages. Most of the time the pain can be managed and the stones resolve themselves, however, some cases may require surgery to achieve effective relief for the patient.
• Testicular Cancer
  Testicular cancer is a highly treatable cancer that occurs mainly in young men between the ages of 15-35. It can develop in one or both testicles and is rare compared with other types of cancers.
• Urinary Tract Infection
  All surgical treatments have inherent and associated risks. The GreenLight Laser System is intended for removal of soft tissue, including vaporization of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Potential risks include irritative symptoms, bleeding, retrograde ejaculation and urinary tract infection.
• Prostate Cancer
  If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, it’s time to explore the benefits of HIFU. Schedule a consultation today with Dr. Simoncini and Dr. Shaba, experts in the field of HIFU treatments. They can answer all your questions, provide personalized advice, and guide you towards the best course of action.
• Cancer Care
  A full spectrum of prostate cancer care is provided through our partnership with Ironwood Cancer and Research Center, including HIFU, surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

Neurologists

• Multiple Sclerosis

Psychiatrists

• Depression
• Anxiety

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  HIFU is a precise and targeted therapy that reduces the risk of complications and impact to quality of life caused by surgery and radiation. HIFU uses ultrasound energy, or sound waves, to heat and destroy specifically targeted areas of tissue. During HIFU, the sound waves pass through healthy tissue without causing damage. However, at the focal point of the sound waves the tissue temperature rises rapidly to 90 degrees Celsius destroying the targeted tissue. The same principles are used when light is focused through a magnifying glass.
• MRI
  As with other forms of cancer, bladder cancer is a product of a mutation within the cells that make up the bladder’s tissue. This mutation typically results in the formation of a cancerous tumor, which can be difficult to detect early on since there is no way to view the internal structure of the bladder without imaging tests such as an MRI.
• X-Rays
• Computed Tomography
  First, Dr. Simoncini will conduct a physical exam and discuss the patient’s medical history and current symptoms with them directly. If Dr. Simoncini feels that further testing is warranted, he will most likely refer the patient to a radiologist to complete a CT scan, PET scan, MRI, or ultrasound. Other exams can also include a biopsy and blood test among a few others. Make sure you discuss your diagnostic options and preferences with Dr. Simoncini.
• Chemotherapy
  Chemotherapy is not a standard treatment for most cases of prostate cancer, but can be useful in cases of advanced prostate cancer where the disease has metastasized to the bones or when Non –responsive to more conventional hormonal therapy.
• Radiation Therapy
  Over time, radiation therapy may damage blood vessels to the penis, preventing blood flow and affecting erectile function.
• Radiation Oncology
  I have worked with Radiation Oncology and Medical Oncology departments at Ironwood Cancer and Research for many years prior to joining the group. I have always had full confidence in the superior care provided At Ironwood, and now am very proud and excited to be a member of this highly specialized and diverse cancer team.

Surgeons

• General Surgery

To schedule a consultation at our urology clinic in Gilbert, AZ, please call (480) 924-7333 today.
• Cyst Removal
• Vasectomy
  A vasectomy is a form of birth control during which the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm, are cut. When the tube is cut, there is no way for sperm to be released from the penis. This procedure is considered a permanent form of birth control, but it is possible to have a reversal surgery should the patient change their mind in the future.
• Robotic Surgery
  Specifically, the da Vinci Nephrectomy procedure is very effective in removing cancerous tissue while inflicting minimal side effects on the patient themselves. Dr. Simoncini may also suggest that the patient undergo a partial nephrectomy or nephron- or kidney-sparing surgery. During this procedure, only the tumor and a margin of tissue are removed, and the kidney is reconstructed to preserve its function. This surgery, especially when performed with the da Vinci Robotic System, is becoming more and more the mainstay of this type of treatment. The da Vinci robotic surgical platform includes cutting-edge technology that allows the surgeon to control miniature robotic instruments using a 3D, high-definition visualization console. Because the instruments can exactly mimic the surgeon’s hand motions in miniature, the robot hands never tremor and the 3D magnified view is superior to that of the naked eye, da Vinci robotic surgery offers more precision and control than open partial nephrectomy or traditional laparoscopic nephrectomy.
• Reconstructive Surgery

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  Usually, the cause of OAB has to do with a dysfunction of the nerves and muscles of the bladder. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including excessive alcohol consumption, having diabetes, side effects from a new medication, and more. It is also entirely possible for a person to never know the true cause of their overactive bladder, but thankfully they are often still able to treat the condition using Botox injections.
• Laparoscopic Surgery
  Both minimally invasive surgical options require one or a few small incisions that doctors use to insert surgical equipment and a camera for viewing. In laparoscopic surgery, doctors use special long-handled tools to perform surgery while viewing magnified images from the laparoscope (camera) on a video screen.
