Ongoing Innovation

For the last decade, we have stayed at the forefront of technologic advances in an effort to provide world-class care to our patients. Our group was one of the first urology groups in the metropolitan area to perform laparoscopic surgery on a regular basis and performed one of the first laparoscopic nephrectomies. Our group was also an early adaptor of minimally invasive surgical treatments for enlarged prostate, such as MRI fusion prostate biopsy, holmium enucleation of prostate and Aquablation. We remain one of the largest volume providers for those procedures. Similarly, our doctors were some of the first to make the transition to minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery and were responsible for starting and developing the DaVinci Robotic Surgery programs at Reston Hospital, Inova Loudoun Hospital and StoneSprings Hospital.

Our group looks forward to continuing advancement and growth in the future. Exciting innovations develop daily in urology, and we look forward to continuing to deliver the best possible care to our patients.
