Leading-edge Care for Kidney Stones and Urological Issues

Helping you heal as quickly as possible is the goal of our USC Endourology Program team. Our expert urologists treat:

  • Kidney stones and other stones in the urinary tract
  • Kidney cancer and ureter transitional cell cancer
  • Enlarged prostate
  • Alternative ways for urine to exit the body

To break up complex kidney stones, we use the latest techniques, including:

  • Shock wave therapy
  • Laser energy
  • Flexible telescopes

We also work to reduce your risk of kidney stones in the future, through diet, fluid intake and other methods.

Expert Kidney Stone Treatment

Our physicians are highly regarded experts who create innovative, personalized treatments for all types of urinary stone disease and endourologic conditions, from simple to complex.

Our kidney stone therapy team is one of the largest and most experienced in Southern California.

As a patient, you benefit from our state-of-the-art equipment and full spectrum of treatment options, including shock wave lithotripsy.

We are known for world-class surgeries, including advanced robotic, endourologic, open, prosthetic, reconstructive and microsurgeries.

We offer multiple ways to connect with your care team — from phone calls and video visits to in-office appointments.
