- Male InfertilityI have special interest and training in Female Urology (non-invasive vaginal sling, cystocele, and rectocele procedures), Non-Invasive Prostate Procedures for benign and malignant diseases (laser vaporization, Microwave, TUNA, Cryo-Ablation, and seed implant), Endo-Urology for non-invasive stone and stricture diseases, Laparoscopic Prostate and Kidney Surgery (da Vinci Robotic technique), and Male Infertility (vas reversal).

- Urinary IncontinenceMacroplastique® is an injectable soft-tissue bulking agent used to treat adult female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) primarily due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD).
- DiarrheaBladder and bowel control problems include a range of embarrassing and potentially debilitating chronic health issues. Urinary urge incontinence (the involuntary leakage of urine accompanied by a sudden urge to urinate) and urgency-frequency (frequent urges to urinate), both symptoms of overactive bladder, are pervasive medical conditions with potentially disturbing social, sexual, interpersonal and professional consequences. Bowel incontinence (inability to control the bowels) is another devastating, socially isolating problem for which people are often reluctant to seek medical attention.

- Kidney CancerIf your doctor recommends surgery for a kidney condition such as blockage of the ureters or kidney cancer, you may be a candidate for a new, minimally invasive approach — da Vinci® Surgery.
- Kidney StonesApart from oncology, I also have an interest in the treatment of benign diseases of the urinary tract such as BPH, Voiding dysfunction, kidney stones and erectile dysfunction.
- Interstitial CystitisTonie specializes in women's urological problems including Urinary Tract and Bladder Infections, Overactive Bladder, Incontinence, Interstitial Cystitis, and Voiding Dysfunction.
- Urinary Tract InfectionTell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you: have or have had bleeding problems; have plans to have surgery; have symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI) and are being treated for urinary incontinence. Symptoms of a urinary tract infection may include pain or burning with urination, frequent urination, or fever; have problems emptying your bladder on your own and are being treated for urinary incontinence; are pregnant or plan to become pregnant (it is not known if BOTOX® can harm your unborn baby); are breastfeeding or plan to (it is not known if BOTOX® passes into breast milk).
- Prostate CancerBenign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, is a condition in which the prostate enlarges as men get older. Over 70% of men in their 60s have BPH symptoms so it is very common1. While BPH is a benign condition and unrelated to prostate cancer, it can greatly affect a man's quality of life.
- Multiple SclerosisSafety and effectiveness have not been established for pregnancy and delivery; patients under the age of 16; or for patients with neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

- UltrasoundOur clinics feature state-of-the-art urologic facilities, equipped to perform ultrasound-guided and endoscopic procedures. Each location also features a surgery center and hospital nearby where more extensive outpatient and inpatient surgeries may be performed.
- MRIIn addition to risks related to surgery, complications can include pain at the implant sites, new pain, infection, lead (thin wire) movement/migration, device problems, interactions with certain other devices or diagnostic equipment such as MRI, undesirable changes in urinary or bowel function, and uncomfortable stimulation (sometimes described as a jolting or shocking feeling).
- Computed TomographyIf not contraindicated, please arrange for a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis with and without contrast. If possible, order the study with delayed images in order to visualize the renal pelvis and ureters to identify any filling defects as the contrast drains down in to the bladder. This is sometimes referred to as a "triple phase CT".
- Radiation TherapyIn a randomized clinical study, men who underwent radiation therapy without SpaceOAR™ Hydrogel were eight times more likely to experience a decline in bowel, urinary and sexual function when compared to men who underwent radiation therapy with SpaceOAR™ Hydrogel.
- Minimally Invasive SurgeryMinimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) allows physicians to perform many kinds of major surgery with a variety of benefits for the patient: less trauma and pain, minimal scarring, faster recovery and shorter hospital stays. Surgeries are performed through small incisions, which replace the large incisions needed for conventional open surgeries.
