Northern Nevada’s Leaders in Comprehensive Urologic Health
Urinary issues are what many people think of when they think of urologists — issues impacting the kidneys, bladder, urethra and associated “plumbing” of our urinary tracts. Our providers offer patients broad treatment options from medication therapy to surgical intervention. An individual’s treatment will be determined in collaboration with their care team and reflect their unique health challenges and goals.
