[Ricardo R Gonzalez MD @RRGonzalezMD]

Sincerest thanks 🙏.
Honored to be recognized as a MOSES #HoLEP Center of Excellence at @HMethodistUro. As my fellow COE colleagues know, providing the highest level of care for men with #BPH takes a village, and I am deeply grateful to my team at @HMethodistMD.
As @bsc_urology notes, this designation is about more than #HoLEP volume. It reflects a shared commitment to advancing patient care, embracing innovation, and continually raising the standard of treatment for patients living with BPH. @hazemelmansy1 @Zach_Kahlenberg @KKseattle @AndrewGardeck @NChandraMD @HwangKuemin @UroAnnie @UroAcademic @SocietyofBPD @sufuorg @Endo_Society

A remarkable testament to the impact of mentorship. The true legacy of a physician-scientist is not only advancing the field, but inspiring and developing the next generation of leaders in urology. Congratulations on a well-deserved honor. #Urology #BPH

Honored to give the keynote Lecture, The Evolving Landscape of BPH Treatment: A 20-Year Horizon,at the Kuwait Urological Association. Even prouder that 4 of my former clinical fellows lectured from the same stage. Seeing them lead is the greatest reward of teaching. #Urology #BPH @DRAAA86 @loayabbas46 @drsalhelal @OTBuro @HMethodistUro @HMethodistMD

Let's hope our peers catch on to this as well! Don't you often see men in this setting that have been "over-biopsied"?! I see it weekly. It may happen more in the US in systems that are financially incentivized with ancillary revenue from ownership of imaging, ASC, and pathology labs.

[Ricardo R Gonzalez MD @RRGonzalezMD]

Ever wonder why OAB minimally invasive therapies are underutilized? We asked the question as to whether patient and surgeon gender/racial concordance affected trust? Remember that most urologists are still men and most patients with OAB are women. Our findings report that gender concordance is not the major factor in establishing trust so we must do better with our counseling. @sufuorg @AmerUrological @UrologyPractice @UroAnnie @KKseattle @AntoshDD @OLWMD @HMethodistUro #patientTrust #Botox @MDTPelvicHealth @bsc_urology

[Ricardo R Gonzalez MD @RRGonzalezMD]

This makes sense. Elevated PSA is so common in these enlarged prostates (BPH) that adding PSA density to MRI in the decision-making can limit unnecessary biopsies. taking it one step further, identifying patients with very enlarged prostates over 80 g or with more than 1 cm of intravesical protrusion that can be noted on sagital Mri images can allow for earlier surgical intervention, as they are less likely to respond to medical therapy. @SocietyofBPD #menshealth #elevatedPSA #prostatecancer

Great lecture by the inpiring Professor Robert Langer from @MIT who spoke this morning @HMethodistMD Academic Institute— amazing journey and boundary breaking developments on novel drug delivery system systems that have changed the way we treat disease over the last 30 years. @TAMUEnMed @EnMedStudents @HMethodistUro @kochinstitute

Grateful to Dr. Gerald Dubin for founding the Art, Empathy, and Healing Seminar @HMethodistMD
The inaugural seminar was insightful on how to better connect with patients through tools like non-verbal communication, humor and humility. @MethodistHosp #personcentric #LeadingMedicine

Medications for BPH are not without risk. Treating prostatic obstruction endoscopically may have less risk of anxiety/depression in men compared to BPH medical therapy. @HBhambhvani @WCMUrology @ChughtaiMD @MaleHealthDoc @SocietyofBPD
