Medical Focus

As a board-certified urologist, I treat conditions and diseases that affect the kidneys, bladder, and urinary tract for both men and women. I also specialize in the male reproductive system, and perform vasectomies. I enjoy working in the field of Urology, as it combines the intellectual stimulation of medical science with the technical ability to perform safe and effective surgical procedures.

My Passion

I enjoy working with my patients to diagnose and treat what’s ailing them. I especially enjoy endoscopic procedures, particularly treating kidney stones. These procedures can often provide immediate relief to the patient, are minimally invasive, are performed as an outpatient procedure, and allow for a brisk recovery so the patient can get back to their routine as quickly as possible.

After Hours

My wife, Carolyn, and I live in Saint Paul with our two children and pet cat. We enjoy spending time together as a family, especially biking, hiking, swimming, camping, and activities in the snow. I love to ice skate and play hockey – I’ve been ice skating for over 30 years and am always in a better mood when I come off the ice than when I went on. I also enjoy gardening, fixing things around the house, and reading – one of my goals is to read the 100 greatest novels.
