Treating BPH: A Safer Option
We use GreenLight Laser therapy to treat an enlarged prostate. If your condition requires surgery, laser therapy carries fewer risks and shorter hospital stays than the traditional transurethral resection or open prostatectomy.

However, we see patients with symptoms and conditions that affect other parts of the body, too, from cataracts in the eyes to skeletal deformities and hearing loss.
