Appointment Information
La Crosse, WI
Provider's Bio
I am a urologist who provides comprehensive care for conditions affecting the urinary and reproductive systems, with a special focus on helping patients improve their quality of life through personalized, evidence-based treatment. I take a person-centered approach to care and believe in shared decision-making, ensuring patients understand their options and feel confident choosing the treatment plan that best aligns with their goals and lifestyle.
My clinical interests include the diagnosis and treatment of enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH), urinary symptoms, urinary retention, kidney stones, prostate cancer, and men's urologic health. I have particular expertise in advanced BPH treatments, including HoLEP (holmium laser enucleation of the prostate), a minimally invasive procedure that can provide lasting relief from urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. I also care for patients with elevated PSA levels, urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and other urologic conditions affecting the urinary tract and reproductive system.
Patients can expect an honest, approachable partner who will guide them through every stage of their health journey, providing support through both the challenges and successes of treatment. I chose a career in urology because of the opportunity to help patients navigate conditions that are often underdiscussed or stigmatized, restore dignity and confidence, and build meaningful long-term relationships through their care.
Outside of work, I enjoy running, reading, walking my dogs and collecting vinyl records.
