Welcome to Oakland Adult and Pediatric Urology Department!

Oakland Urology Department provides the full gamut of general and specialized Urology medical and surgical care in almost all areas of Urology. Our regional specialty services include Pediatric Urology, Shock Wave Lithotripsy and Spina Bifida Clinic/ Neuro-Urology.

In addition, Oakland Urologists have special interests in Urologic Oncology surgery (Prostate, Kidney, Testicular and Bladder Cancer) and laparoscopic surgery.

Our Strengths:
Our department strives to provide the best Urologic care available anywhere. We have a team approach which includes our clerical staff, Telephone Advice Nurses, office nursing staff, Physicians Assistants, Managers and Urologists who take pride in their work. We all enjoy working together and we think we provide better care and service because we work as a team.

Our Short-comings:
Our tasks include care of elderly and cancer patients who often take a little more time as well as emergency urologic care and surgery. This makes our work days unpredictable. We frequently run late. Occasionally, we need to cancel appointments to accommodate urgent surgery for serious or life-threatening conditions. We sincerely apologize in advance for any inconvenience we cause you. We know your condition is important too! If you do have concerns about your appointment, please call Katherine (752-5052) for personal assistance or for the BEST urology medical advice, please call Stephanie or Cleo (752-6796).

The Best Times to Call for Routine Advice and Scheduling Assistance:
Our phones are busiest during the early mornings and right after lunch. To avoid long telephone waits, the best times to call is 11:00AM- 12:30PM and 2:00-4:00 PM.

We look forward to meeting you. Before you visit us, please check out our physician web pages for more information about Urology conditions that concern you.

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
