About Me
I believe in collaborative care with my patients. Medical treatment is a process that must fit within the lives, goals, and priorities of patients. It is important to me that my patients both understand their conditions and treatment options and are comfortable with their choice of treatment we develop together.
Dr. Au was drawn to urology in medical school when he recognized it as a field known for implementing cutting-edge science and technology to further the care of patients as well as being a field centered around quality-of-life issues. Dr. Au loves that as a surgeon, he can follow in this tradition and both deliver tangible solutions to his patients and maintain a continuity of care unique within surgical specialties.
Dr. Au specializes in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) treatments and has advanced training in the latest techniques, including Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP). He also has experience in minimally invasive and robotic surgery for benign and oncologic urologic conditions. He received his training at the University of Kansas, which is known for extensive training in urologic oncology, robotic surgery, and advanced laser BPH and stone surgery.
Dr. Au enjoys providing patients with the education to understand their conditions and care plans. He believes the best part of his work is guiding patients through the complex information of modern medicine to create a shared treatment plan.
