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
The whole team was great and Dr. Ghiraldi is their leader.
Dr Ghiraldi is a great doctor!!!
After meeting & speaking w/members of Dr.Ghraldi staff and then speaking w Dr. Ghirardelli I feel confident moving forward.
Dr, Ghiraldi is an oustanding member of your medical team.
As a [...] physician I can say that Dr Ghiraldi was exceptional. He is clearly a subject expert in minimally invasive prostate surgery but more importantly he was an exceptional listener and thoroughly answered all my questions. I'd recommend him without hesitation to others needing this expertise.
