Prostate Health and Management

Enlarged Prostate (BPH) Treatment: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition that can severely disrupt a man's quality of life, causing symptoms like frequent urination, painful urination, and incomplete bladder emptying. Dr. Cumming offers highly effective therapies including Green Light Laser Therapy and Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP). These laser treatments safely vaporize or remove excess prostate tissue that blocks the urethra, offering immediate relief with minimal bleeding and a rapid return to normal activities.

Prostate Cancer Surgery: As one of the most common cancers in men, prostate cancer requires expert, precise intervention. Specializing in Urologic Oncology and Robotic Surgery, Dr. Cumming performs nerve-sparing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomies. This advanced approach maximizes the chances of cancer eradication while significantly preserving urinary continence and erectile function.

Kidney Stones and Restorative Urology

Kidney Stone Treatment: Hard deposits of minerals and salts inside the kidneys can cause excruciating pain as they pass through the urinary tract. The clinic offers state-of-the-art endourological interventions, including laser lithotripsy and ureteroscopy. These procedures allow the doctor to locate the stone visually, break it apart into dust using advanced lasers, and naturally clear the blockage without the need for large incisions.

Penile Prosthesis for Erectile Dysfunction: For men suffering from severe erectile dysfunction that does not respond to oral medications or injections, penile implants offer a permanent, reliable, and discreet solution. Dr. Cumming is an expert in the surgical placement of highly advanced, inflatable penile prostheses. This transformative procedure restores sexual function and confidence, allowing patients to resume an active and satisfying intimate life.
