Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. At Waiss Health, we know every case is unique. That’s why we use the latest methods to evaluate and stage prostate cancer, ensuring an accurate diagnosis from the start. With advanced treatment options and a team approach, we help you make clear, confident decisions about your care.

Kidney cancer affects the organs that filter your blood and make urine. At Waiss Health, we use the latest methods to diagnose and treat kidney cancer, tailoring care to each patient. Our specialists work with you to make clear, confident decisions about your treatment.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland and the most common benign tumor found in men. BPH produces symptoms by constricting the flow of urine through the urethra.

Reconstructive urology helps restore normal function to the urinary tract when conditions such as urethral stricture cause blockage or narrowing. At Waiss Health, our specialists use the latest surgical and minimally invasive techniques to repair and rebuild the urinary system. We provide personalized care so you can regain comfort, control, and quality of life.

Kidney stones are hard deposits that form in the kidneys and can cause severe pain or blockages as they move through the urinary tract. At Waiss Health, we use the most advanced treatments to manage stones — including precise laser therapy to break them apart and transrenal approaches for complex cases. With minimally invasive options, expert care, and a focus on prevention, we help patients achieve fast relief and lasting peace of mind.

Women face unique urologic conditions such as urinary incontinence, recurrent urinary tract infections, and pelvic organ prolapse. At Waiss Health, our specialists use the latest diagnostics and minimally invasive treatments to restore comfort and function. We focus on personalized care so women can regain confidence and quality of life.

Men’s health is about more than treating problems — it’s about preventing them. At Waiss Health, we focus on the full spectrum of men’s health needs, from prostate and sexual health to heart disease, hormone balance, and preventive screenings. Our team uses the latest science and a personalized approach to help men stay healthy, strong, and confident at every stage of life.
