The Penn State Health Approach to Urology
The urology team at Penn State Health is known for leading-edge care of conditions that effect the urinary tract in men and women, as well as men’s reproductive health. As an academic medical center, we see some of the most complex urological disorders in the region. Families count on us for our advanced expertise.
When you come here, you work with a skilled team that uses the most advanced technology, including sophisticated imaging methods, new diagnostic studies, and minimally invasive robotic-assisted surgery. We treat the full spectrum of urologic disorders ranging from urinary stone disease and voiding dysfunction to more complex conditions including urologic cancers and complex reproductive system disorders. You work with doctors who are experts in their field.
No matter what your health care needs are, you can count on personal attention and the latest treatments provided by a compassionate team.
Complete Care for a Full Range of Urological Conditions
Our urologists treat all conditions that effect the urinary tract system - from blood in the urine, benign prostate conditions, bladder-control problems, sexual dysfunction, male infertility, and all types of urologic cancers . We also offer comprehensive, kid-friendly care for even the most complex kidney, bladder and sex organ disorders in children.
Our urology team uses high-tech diagnostic and treatment approaches - but we deliver care with understanding, compassion and a personal touch. We offer noninvasive treatments like shock-wave lithotripsy to break up kidney stones and minimally invasive robotic-assisted surgery to treat cancer and other urinary system disorders. Our team works closely with physical therapists, nutritionists and others to ensure complete care. You get a care plan that’s designed around your needs and ongoing guidance to help you stay healthy and active.

Caption: “If a test tells you to get it removed, get it removed. Don’t fiddle around with it.” That’s the advice of Stephen Graham, whose prostate cancer was treated with a prostatectomy from Dr. Jay Raman with Penn State Cancer Institute. Stephen shared his story with ABC27’s Good Day PA.
