Urology

It’s not always easy to talk about intimate health issues, like bladder control, sexual health and other urology and gynecology concerns. At Overlake Medical Center & Clinics, our experienced team puts you at ease with a friendly, compassionate approach.

Our doctors have extensive training and experience in diagnosing and treating all types of conditions that affect women’s and men’s reproductive organs and urinary tracts. Whether you need medication for an infection or a treatment plan to address a more complex condition, our team provides comprehensive care, tailored to your specific needs.

We provide high-quality care using the latest diagnostic methods, nonsurgical treatments and surgical care. Our team is well-versed in minimally invasive, laparoscopic procedures, often with robotic equipment for assistance. These procedures use small incisions and miniaturized instruments to access areas for treatment. Our expertise in minimally invasive procedures helps reduce pain and the risk of complications — and can improve your recovery time. We’re dedicated to providing care that helps you get back to your healthy, active life.

Board-certified doctors with specialized training

When you come to Overlake for urology or urogynecology care, rest assured that your care is in expert hands. All of our doctors and our physician assistant are board certified in their specialties, and many have advanced (fellowship) training. With training in urology, obstetrics-gynecology (OB-GYN) and female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, our team stays up-to-date with the latest treatments available.

We diagnose and treat all types of conditions, ranging from urinary tract infections to complex urological and gynecological cancers. Several of our doctors have experience as medical school professors and researchers, working to train the next generation of urology providers and advance patient care. You receive comprehensive care from a team of experts with years of experience.

Multispecialty expertise in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted procedures

Our urology and urogynecology team brings together expertise from several fields of medicine, providing comprehensive care for men and women at every stage of life. From nonsurgical treatments and pelvic floor rehabilitation to intricate surgeries, our team provides tailored care to help you feel like yourself again.

We specialize in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, which uses a few incisions and special instruments. Many of our doctors have years of experience using robotic equipment for added precision in laparoscopic procedures. This means the Eastside community can get care from surgeons with deep expertise in the latest procedures, without needing to travel to Seattle.

Overlake partners with Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (formerly Seattle Cancer Care Alliance), giving you access to expert oncologists and surgeons. Through Fred Hutch, you may be eligible to participate in clinical trials that offer groundbreaking cancer treatments.

On-site outpatient surgery and diagnostic testing

We help make your care as convenient as possible with on-site diagnostic testing and an outpatient surgery center next to our Bellevue clinic. That means you can have your testing, treatment and any necessary surgical procedures all in one place, without the need to travel to other locations.

If you have a condition that requires surgery or a minimally invasive procedure, we can often provide that care with an outpatient procedure. That means you can go home the same day of your procedure. Our urologists and urogynecologists are experienced in the latest techniques to help you recover quickly with a lower risk of complications, so you can get back to your routine as soon as possible.
