A patient’s first stop is the Center for Urological Care, in Pavilion III at UC Irvine Medical Center. The 6,500-square-foot, state-of-the-art center provides a one-stop destination for private consultations, necessary laboratory tests and biopsies, as well as procedures that do not require a large operating room.

Here, nurses, physicians and technicians handle practically all patients’ needs. Nearly all urology faculty practicing at Pavilion III are fellowship trained in their area of expertise, having spent one to two years of additional training beyond residency in order to provide the most proficient and advanced care. Many minimally invasive procedures are performed here on an outpatient basis. In addition, the modern picture archive and communication system allow diagnostic images like CTs and X-rays to be electronically transmitted to every examination room at UC Irvine Medical Center for immediate consultation with other specialists. From its calming lobby to pleasant procedure rooms to leading-edge diagnostics technology including bladder function instrumentation and ultrasound, the Center is designed to blend comfort, convenience and advanced care.
