Houston Methodist Department of Urology

The faculty at Houston Methodist actively participate in all phases of research, from proof of concept and translational research to clinical research (clinical trials, health sciences research and outcomes research.) Our team is also proud to have six of our members serving on scientific peer-reviewed journal editorial boards.

Our team is pioneering studies in cell regeneration and translational imaging to restore bladder function in patients with urologic conditions following an injury or surgery for urologic cancers. In both translational and clinical studies, our experts are expanding the understanding of urologic conditions and disorders ― such as prostate cancer, bladder disease and urinary incontinence — to deliver new technologies and treatments to patients faster.

We are also making strides in women’s urology — focusing on wellness, cancer detection, treatment and prevention of recurrent infections, incontinence, prolapse and sexual wellness — as well as advanced imaging with micro-ultrasound.

Our academic affiliations with the Weill Cornell Medical College and Texas A&M College of Medicine and School of Engineering Medicine anchor our department to our educational mission: training the next generation of urologic surgeons. For more than 100 years, Houston Methodist has advanced the frontiers of surgical care, drawing patients and trainees from around the world.

The nationally respected faculty in our urology residency and fellowship programs provide residents with the best clinical experience, taking advantage of our institution's abundant resources while emphasizing each resident’s professional development as a urologic surgeon. 

Our competitive urology fellowship produces well-rounded and highly skilled reconstructive surgeons in the growing field of pelvic reconstructive surgery and neuro-urology, permitting them to pursue a career in either academics or private practice.
