About Texas Urology Specialists
Viagra®, Levitra® and Cialis® are effective and safe oral agents for appropriate candidates. For example, men with a history of cardiovascular disease and especially men who are currently taking agents from the nitroglycerine family are not candidates for treatment with this class of drugs.
Yes. The vacuum constriction device is another excellent non-surgical treatment option. This system uses a plastic cylinder that is placed over the penis; a small pump is then used to create negative pressure, which acts to “pull” blood into the penis – producing an erection. A rubber band is then applied to the base of the penis, so that blood is trapped in the erect penis to sustain the erection until the band is removed.
Penile implant surgery is always an option for men who aren’t happy with other treatments. We can do most penile implant procedures on an outpatient basis with a relatively short recovery period.
Caverject® is one popular form of treatment. The therapy involves medication that is directly injected into the penis to produce an erection.
We’re happy to provide you with a packet of information that describes the procedure in detail.
The non-scalpel vasectomy has become very popular in the U.S. because of the decreased discomfort that men experience with this particular technique. Our group performs the no-scalpel vasectomy, and we would be happy to provide you with more information about this procedure.
Yes. There are several new products and procedures available for treating incontinence, including the new tension-free vaginal tape.
Most stones in either the kidney or the ureter (the tube that carries the urine from the kidney to the bladder) are now treated with a non-invasive shockwave technique called lithotripsy. We have access to the most modern equipment for treating stones on an outpatient basis.
The American Cancer Society recommends annual screening for all men over the age of 50, including a digital rectal exam and a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test. Men with a family history of prostate cancer should start yearly screenings between age 40 and 45.
Texas Urology Specialists is a part of Texas Oncology, one of the top providers of specialty medical care in Texas. Patients want healthcare providers who are experts in their field, knowledgeable about the latest in treatments and technology, and sensitive to their individual concerns — and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We’re committed to giving each of our patients and their families our time, attention and the highest-quality urologic care.
Texas Urology Specialists’ mission is to provide high quality, patient-focused urologic care as cost effectively as possible. Toward that goal, we will strive to:
We provide patients the full spectrum of urologic care — from pre-screening, testing and diagnosis to the ongoing care and treatment of conditions for both men and women. We test for and treat infertility, incontinence, prostate diseases, urinary tract conditions, sexually transmitted diseases and more. We also provide surgical invention for specific diagnosis.
We understand that it can be stressful to travel to multiple locations to get screening, diagnosis and treatment. We’ve made sure that you can do everything in one place. And, because of our association with Texas Oncology, our patients are provided access to the latest cancer treatments and technologies with personal care from our expert staff.
All Texas Urology Specialists locations are fully integrated with Texas Oncology. For patients who may have cancer of the urogenital system, we offer seamless care between our urology specialists and the medical and radiation oncologists at Texas Oncology.
Our clinical structure makes it easy for you to get the best urologic care, whether you are experiencing a routine urologic condition, or a serious or life-threatening disease.

Although our group can treat virtually any urologic condition, some of the more common disorders include impotence or erectile dysfunction; incontinence or loss of bladder control; kidney stones and other diseases of the kidney; infertility; and prostate diseases (both benign and malignant).
Most urology residencies require at least two years of general surgical training, followed by an additional four years of specialty training in urologic surgery.
