Our Unique Approach
MK Urology takes a holistic and personalized approach to geriatric urology care by combining advanced diagnostics, individualized treatment plans, and a deep commitment to patient dignity.
We conduct thorough assessments that involve chart reviews, caregiver and family consultations, and bedside urogenital exams, ensuring we understand each patient's full medical picture.
Our comprehensive care includes behavioral therapy, medication management, pelvic floor therapy, and non-invasive procedures, all aimed at reducing hospital visits and improving quality of life.
What Sets Us Apart
At MK Urology LLC, we go beyond traditional urological care by bringing our services directly to patients in long-term care facilities.
Unlike many urology offices who require patients to travel for appointments, we eliminate that burden by delivering expert care on-site, ensuring convenience and continuity of treatment.
Our focus on geriatric urology allows us to specialize in the unique challenges that come with aging, providing a compassionate, patient-centered approach.
Additionally, we offer tele-health services, making it even easier for patients
to access care when needed.
With a blend of expertise, flexibility, and dedication to senior care, we prioritize the comfort and well-being of our patients in ways that many traditional practices do not.
