Our Forest Hills urologists care for the urinary tract in men, women and children, and for the male reproductive system. These are the conditions we see most often.
An enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) is very common after age 50. It can cause a weak stream, trouble starting, dribbling and waking up at night to urinate. Your urologist will check your symptoms, examine the prostate and order a PSA blood test and urinalysis when needed. Treatment ranges from lifestyle changes and medication to referral for minimally invasive procedures. We also guide men through prostate cancer screening and follow up on a high or rising PSA, including referral for MRI or biopsy when it is warranted.
Kidney stones often cause sudden, severe pain in the side or back that spreads toward the groin, sometimes with nausea or blood in the urine. Our urologists confirm the stone with imaging through our radiology department, manage pain, and help small stones pass with medication. Larger stones are referred for removal. Once you are stone-free, we look at the cause and give you a prevention plan so stones are less likely to come back. Go to the emergency room for stone pain with fever, chills or vomiting that stops you from keeping fluids down.
Erectile dysfunction is common and treatable, and it can be an early sign of diabetes or heart disease. Your urologist will review your health, medications and hormone levels and talk you through options, from oral medication to other therapies. Men with low energy, low sex drive or ED may be tested for low testosterone. Learn more about erectile dysfunction treatment in Queens.
A vasectomy is a safe, permanent form of birth control for men. It is done in the office under local anesthesia, usually in about 30 minutes, and most men return to desk work within a few days. You will need a semen test afterward to confirm the procedure worked. Read more about vasectomy at Medex.
Leaking urine when you cough or lift (stress incontinence) or feeling a sudden urge you cannot hold (urge incontinence or overactive bladder) is not a normal part of aging. We identify the type of incontinence with a history, exam, urinalysis and bladder ultrasound, then start with bladder training, pelvic floor exercises and medication. Patients who need more help are referred for advanced treatment.
Two or more urinary tract infections in six months, or three in a year, deserve a closer look. A urologist checks for causes such as incomplete bladder emptying, stones or anatomical problems. Blood in the urine should always be evaluated, even if it happened only once and caused no pain, because it can be a sign of stones, infection, or bladder or kidney cancer. See also painful urination.
Women see our urologists for recurrent UTIs, incontinence, overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis (bladder pain syndrome), kidney stones and blood in the urine. We work closely with our gynecologists when pelvic floor or gynecologic problems are involved.
We also evaluate male infertility, testicular pain or lumps, Peyronie’s disease (a curved erection) and circumcision questions, and offer confidential STD testing. A painless lump in the testicle should be checked promptly.
Many urology tests can be done during your visit or in the same building, so you get answers sooner.
You do not need to wait for a problem to become severe. Make an appointment if you notice:
Go to the emergency room or call 911 if urinary symptoms come with fever and chills, severe pain in your side, vomiting or confusion, or if you suddenly cannot urinate at all.
Our urologists accept Medicare, Medicaid and most major insurance plans, including:
Most plans let you see a urologist without a referral, but some HMO and Medicaid managed care plans require one from your primary care doctor. Call us before your visit and we will check your coverage. See the full list of insurance plans we accept.

A urologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra) in men, women and children, and in the male reproductive organs. Urologists treat problems such as kidney stones, UTIs, incontinence, prostate enlargement and erectile dysfunction, and they perform procedures from cystoscopy to vasectomy.
For men, a urologist diagnoses and treats:
Urologists also perform vasectomies and follow men with a high or rising PSA.
For women, a urologist treats recurrent urinary tract infections, stress and urge incontinence, overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis (bladder pain syndrome), kidney stones, blood in the urine and bladder cancer. Pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic floor problems are often managed together with a gynecologist.
Most PPO plans and Medicare do not require a referral. Some HMO and Medicaid managed care plans do require one from your primary care doctor. Call (718) 275-8900 and our staff will check your plan before your visit. If you need a referral, you can see one of our primary care doctors in the same building.

Your urologist will review your symptoms, medical history and medications, do a focused physical exam, and usually test a urine sample. Depending on your symptoms, you may also have a PSA blood test, a bladder ultrasound or other imaging. Bring your insurance card, a list of your medications and any recent test results.
Most men should talk with their doctor about PSA screening between ages 50 and 55, and screening is most often recommended up to about age 69. Men at higher risk should start that conversation at 40 to 45. This includes Black men and men whose father or brother had prostate cancer.
A vasectomy is usually a short outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. Most men go home the same day and return to light activity within a few days.
A urologist treats structural and surgical problems of the urinary tract and male reproductive system, such as stones, blockages, prostate disease and incontinence. A nephrologist treats how well the kidneys work, including chronic kidney disease, kidney-related high blood pressure and dialysis. Medex has both specialties under one roof.
Medex DTC also offers assistance for non-English-speaking patients.
