Treatment Philosophy
I take time to listen to my patients, understand what they are saying, which helps me come up with a treatment plan that is best for them. My practice is unique in that it is focused on benign urological conditions. Many of these conditions have multiple treatment options, and sometimes do not require treatment at all. Therefore, my time for each patient when I see them is dedicated to counseling them on all available options for their diagnosis.
I believe humility is an important attribute that I bring to my practice that helps strengthen my ability to relate to patients and ultimately, help them achieve their goals. One of my favorite things about Urology is that it is constantly changing with newer technologies to treat urological conditions. I am dedicated to making sure patients have the best treatment options available to them.
My goal for every patient is that when they leave my office, they feel that they received the best care possible. I want patients to know that every clinical decision I make is in their best interest.

Great Doctor. Perfect bedside manner.

Dr. Ghiraldi is a wonderful doctor, kind, compassionate.and skillful.
Dr. Ghiraldi, is one the best doctors I have seen in my lifetime. He made us feel extremely comfortable and he was able to speak to us in a way that made sense. I also can say my experience with the staff working with Dr. Ghiraldi were top notch. From my initial contact with his office to my visit, everyone my wife and I came in contact with were professional, personable and made us feel we were important, a rare experience. Individuals that I interacted with that were easy to work with was [...] whom I spoke with to make the appointment, the intake nurse (unfortunately I do not know her name) and [...] who I have been working with to schedule a follow up appointment. All these individuals were awesome.
