The 3 Most Common Concerns Regarding Men’s Urological Health
Hint: They’re all below the belt and above the knees.
It’s not easy for men to discuss what goes on below their belts and above their knees. Urologists are able to answer any questions men have about their private parts; they’re the best ones to contact, because they specialize in that particular area of men’s health. At Advanced Urology Associates, all the urologists and physician’s assistants are Board Certified, which ensures they are very knowledgeable about such matters.
Is Your Urologist Board Certified?
Here’s why you should check and select one who is
Anyone needing a specialized surgical procedure or cutting-edge medical care will want to be treated by a physician that has the highest level of training possible, which Board Certification provides. A general practitioner, for example, won’t be as knowledgeable in urology-related patient care as a Board Certified urologist who has received additional training and stayed current with the latest medical advances, including the most up-to-date medications, surgical equipment, and surgical techniques available.
Advanced Urology raises $100,000 to end prostate cancer

Tracy Cameron, who works in Advance Urology’s IMRT center, also doubles her duties as the race director for the past number of years. She credits the tremendous success of this year’s race “to the amount of time, energy, and resources put in by our amazing volunteers.”
