Care Philosophy
Dr. Golden consistently goes the extra mile to ensure his patients receive the care they deserve. He prescribes non-invasive treatments such as medications before progressing to surgery. If surgery is needed, he is one of the few urologists in Nevada that emphasizes the minimally invasive approach. He is also a very kind person with a pleasant bedside manner.*
What is Urology?
Urology is the study of disorders of the urinary tract in males and females, and the male reproductive system. A urologist is a physician who treats diseases and disorders of the genitourinary system. The urologist deals with urinary tract infections, cancer of the urinary system, and surgery of congenital problems. Urologists also diagnose and treat incontinence, and are experienced in endoscopy (surgery that involves a scope enabling the surgeon to view the surgery area inside the body).
