Urology and Patient Care Approach
Urology deals with conditions involving the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, prostate, and male reproductive system. Treatment depends on the underlying diagnosis, severity of symptoms, imaging findings, kidney function, and whether a medical or procedural approach is appropriate.
Dr. Patel’s practice has a strong focus on endourology, which uses instruments passed through the urinary tract or small access points to diagnose and treat selected conditions. Kidney stones, for example, may sometimes be treated using ESWL, ureteroscopy, laser procedures, or percutaneous techniques depending on their size and location.
His work also includes uro-oncology, andrology, renal transplantation, and laparoscopic urological surgery, allowing evaluation of both routine and more complex urinary conditions.
