Patient Care

The Stanford Center for Female Urology and Neuro Urology provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment to patients with problems relating to the bladder and lower urinary tract. 

Urinary tract disorders are greatly under reported and under treated in our society. One of the main impediments to treatment is the embarrassment many patients feel in discussing these sensitive issues. Our staff is committed to preserving patient dignity and providing the highest quality care and comfort.

Our center is the only one in the world dedicated solely to azoospermia care, with specialized, experienced doctors and the latest techniques and technology. We offer a wide range of advanced treatments, with great success in finding or restoring sperm. We can go as far as you want as long as it is medically appropriate — we know you may want peace of mind from trying every option. Learn more about our obstructive azoospermia treatment (for reproductive tract blockages) ornonobstructive azoospermia treatment (for impaired sperm production). 

We regularly treat patients from around California, the United States and the world. We welcome men who already have a diagnosis of azoospermia, and those who strongly suspect they have the condition. We are also happy to provide second opinions, either for yourself or (in conjunction with our colleagues) for your partner.

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical option for cancerous and non-cancerous urologic conditions involving various urologic organs such as the kidney, adrenal, bladder, testis and prostate. Endourology is a minimally invasive technique available to treat kidney stones. Stones may be extracted or fragmented using tiny instruments through natural body channels such as the urethra, bladder and ureter. In addition to treatment, the clinic helps determine the cause of kidney stone development and identifies methods to prevent further stone formation.

We provide comprehensive evaluation for all causes of male infertility as well as advanced diagnostic, therapeutic, medical and surgical approaches to help correct and maximize male sexual function.  Our doctors are specially trained in microsurgery for more precise treatments to improve the success rate of urologic conditions. 

The Urologic Oncology Program focuses on the investigation and management of genitourinary cancers: cancers of the prostate, bladder, kidney, testis and genitalia combining clinical expertise from Urology, Radiation Oncology, Medical Oncology, and basic developments from Immunology, Biochemistry, Pathology, and Molecular Biology. A multidisciplinary approach in the office, operating room and,when appropriate, the laboratory is emphasized. Treatment plans are customized to individual patient needs and may include a variety of modalities (surgical, radiotherapeutic and chemo- or immunotherapeutic) delivered concurrently or consecutively.

The Pediatric Urology team at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford provides diagnosis and management of children with a wide range of problems relating to the genitourinary tract. These include:

For children under the age of 18 who are encountering urologic problems, a pediatric urologist is uniquely qualified to treat such symptoms. A pediatric urologist has usually completed both additional specialized training (1-2 years) focused on pediatric urology and an accredited residency program in urology (5-6 years). Most pediatric urologists spend the majority of their time caring for children with urinary tract abnormalities. They are usually certified by the American Board of Urology, members of the Society for Pediatric Urology, and Fellows of the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Urology. They are trained to deal with young children with hypospadias, hydrocele/hernia, testicular torsion, undescended testicles, malignancies of the bladder and testicle, vesicoureteral reflux, urinary infections, and other more complex urological problems such as ambiguous genitalia, posterior urethral valves, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, bladder diverticula, and bladder exstrophy.
