Featured Procedure Now Offering

PAE — The Non-Surgical BPH Solution

Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) shrinks an enlarged prostate by reducing its blood supply through a minimally invasive, image-guided catheter procedure. No general anesthesia. No hospital stay. Back to normal within days.

  • Performed under local anesthesia — no general anesthesia required
  • Outpatient procedure — go home the same day
  • Ideal for men who failed medications or want to avoid surgery
  • Works for very large prostates where other options may not
Learn About PAE Schedule a Consultation

No Surgery. No Cuts to the Prostate.

PAE is performed entirely through a small puncture in the wrist or groin — the prostate itself is never cut or entered.

Effective for Very Large Prostates

Unlike some office procedures, PAE is an excellent option for men with significantly enlarged prostates who are not good surgical candidates.

Sexual Function Fully Preserved

PAE carries essentially zero risk of retrograde ejaculation or erectile dysfunction — a key advantage over traditional surgical approaches.
