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.
Patient Comments
Best health care ever
Dr Ghiraldi put me in touch with a patient that already had laser deneuclation so I could ask questions.
Dr. Ghiraldi is one of the finest doctors that have ever treated me. His surgery has made a big difference in my life. I have also recommended him to a very close friend of mine and with Dr Ghiraldi surgery it made a big difference in his life as well.I have nothing but respect and praise for the special and caring doctor that he is.
Dr Eric is a patient focused provider who always has the patient care as his priority. His approach to care Is exceptional. I have referred several others to his care. Temple/Fox Chase should be proud to have DR Eric as part of your team.
Great Doctor!
