About me
Raised in New Jersey, a stone's throw from Manhattan, my parents were my role models. My father was a urologist, my mother a pharmacist, and while that may suggest that I was destined to be in the medical field, it really did not occur to me as an option until the middle of college (University of Virginia: Go 'Hoos!). I attended medical school at Howard University, and I guess you could call that tradition: It is where my parents met and my two siblings had graduated from there. I came to a decision in regard to my specialty choice after graduation, but did not realize my goal of practicing with my father; he passed shortly after I chose to be a urologist. I stayed on faculty and practiced at Howard University medical school/hospital a few years before moving to Georgia to start private practice. After a few fits and turns I finally settled into a solo urology practice that I maintained for over 20 years in Atlanta before joining Kaiser Permanente. Along the way, I met my wife and we have two children that keep me moving constantly!
About my practice
My interests in urology are varied, and I try to do a bit of everything, but I have particular interest in sexual dysfunction, non-invasive surgical management of stone disease, and the management of benign prostatic enlargement along with all urologic oncology. I believe in giving back and emphasize the importance of providing quality care to all, especially those that have difficulty accessing it. It is the reason why I practiced in South Atlanta and treated patients in the federal penitentiary for years. I am looking forward to the opportunities Kaiser Permanente provides to make an impact. And I still believe in medicine as a healing art. While the technology we have at our disposal is an essential to excellent patient care, I have not abandoned the notion that the face-to-face personal interaction between doctor and patient is just as vital.
"Listen to the patient. They will reveal their diagnosis 75% of the time before you order one test." I remember my father saying that long before I expressed any interest in medicine, and it still applies.
How I thrive
These days much of my spare time is shared with my family and engaging with my kids in their many activities including karate, soccer and baseball. When I can break away for time to myself, I enjoy photography. I have recently been learning about music theory and trying my hand at composing and production (strictly for self consumption!). I have always valued close friends and family and make a point to keep in touch and visit with them as often as I can. To me there are few things more grounding than a visit with somebody from "way back when."
