- CryotherapyCryotherapy also known as cryosurgery involved placing probes into the prostate, through an approach that is similar to that of brachytherapy. These “cryoprobes” are placed into the prostate through the skin of the perineum under the guidance of transrectal ultrasound. Argon gas is then used to create an “iceball” which results in instant cell death within the predefined area. Ultrasound monitoring of cryoablation, combined with the use of temperature monitoring thermocouples, prevents freezing injuries to the surrounding, normal tissues.
- Pediatric CareAs urologists, our physicians are highly trained to treat disorders of the male and female urinary tract (bladder, ureter, kidney, and urethra) and the male reproductive system. Urology is classified as a surgical subspecialty, but since a wide variety of clinical problems are encountered when treating urological conditions, knowledge of internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, and other specialties is required.
- Primary CareYes, we do participate with the Nebraska Medicaid Program. Your plan may require you have a referral from your primary care physician, which you must have prior to being seen. You will be responsible for any required co-pay.
- Smoking Cessation*Weight bearing exercise: Walking, jogging, stair climbing or skipping rope are good weight bearing exercise. These types of exercise should be done 30 minutes daily. Additional exercises, like yoga or weight lifting, may strengthen muscle and aid in balance.

- Emergency CareWhen you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing.
- Erectile Dysfunction
- Urinary IncontinenceMay help men being treated for prostate cancer. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and structures in your pelvis between your legs. The pelvic floor supports the bowel, bladder and sexual organs. They help with urinary and fecal functions as well as sexual performance. The muscles contract and relax, just like any other muscle in your body. Pelvic floor exercises can help with side effects like erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence.

- Kidney StonesKidney Stone – stone that forms in the kidney, and can drop down into the ureter and eventually down to the bladder.
- Interstitial Cystitis
- Urinary Tract InfectionIf you haven’t been seen by one of our providers in the past year, then you must call our office to schedule an appointment with one of our providers. If you have been seen by one of our providers in the past year, then you should call our office and leave a message for a nurse. The nurse will return your call and get your symptoms from you; he/she will then schedule you for an appointment time so you can come to our office and leave a urine specimen. You will be instructed by the nurse about when to call back for the results. After speaking with you, if needed, the nurse will send a prescription to your pharmacy. We DO NOT accept walk-in patients for any appointments, so please be sure to call the office and talk to a nurse.
- Prostate CancerBenign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, is a condition in which the prostate enlarges as men get older. BPH is a very common condition that affects over 40 million Americans and over 500 million aging men worldwide. Over 40% of men in their 50s and over 70% of men in their 60s have BPH. While BPH is a benign condition and unrelated to prostate cancer, it can greatly affect a man’s quality of life.
- Depression
- Mental HealthSome men are upset by the side effects of treatment. Urinary and erection problems can feel like a loss of one’s usual self. Those feelings are normal and will get better as you learn to manage your side effects and see improvements. Whatever you are feeling, it is worth telling your doctor. Cancer is always stressful and a trained counselor may help you manage your mental health.
- Diabetes Care
- Thyroid
- UltrasoundBrachytherapy therapy is performed under anesthesia, usually as an outpatient case or as an overnight stay. The prostate is examined under ultrasound, measurements are entered into a computer and a treatment plan is generated. Needles are then used to place radioactive seeds into the prostate tissue by inserting them through the skin between the scrotum and anus (perineum).
- RadiologyWhen you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can’t balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed.
- X-Rays
- Nuclear MedicineXofigo (Radium 223)is a once a month injection (given for 6 months) used to help with pain and symptoms associated with metastatic disease (for cancer that has spread to your bones). This will have little to no effect on PSA level but has shown in clinical trial to improve survival, and may help with discomfort. This IV injection takes about 15 minutes to administer, and is given by a nuclear medicine physician, here in our facility. The most common side effect is diarrhea, lasting 1-2 days.
- Computed TomographyYes we do. We do offer the ability to have many of our CT scans done in our office. We take the images in our facility and they are interpreted by the physicians of Radiology Associates, P.C. who will bill you separately for the interpretation.
- ChemotherapyChemotherapy is the use of medicines or drugs to stop the growth of cancers. It is not generally a part of the treatment of localized prostate cancer. If interested in this option, a referral to an oncologist would be required.
- Radiation TherapyThe typical initial evaluation of a man complaining of ED is conducted in person and includes sexual, medical, and psychosocial histories as well as laboratory tests thorough enough to identify comorbid conditions that may predispose the patient to ED and that may contraindicate certain therapies. History may reveal causes or comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease (including hypertension, atherosclerosis, or hyperlipidemia), diabetes mellitus, depression, and alcoholism. Related dysfunctions such as premature ejaculation, increased latency time associated with age, and psychosexual relationship problems may also be uncovered. Most importantly, a history can reveal specific contraindications for drug therapy. Additional risk factors include smoking, pelvic, perineal, or penile trauma or surgery, neurologic disease, endocrinopathy, obesity, pelvic radiation therapy, Peyronie’s disease, and prescription or recreational drug use. Other critical elements are alterations of sexual desire, ejaculation, and orgasm, presence of genital pain, and lifestyle factors, such as sexual orientation, presence of spouse or partner, and quality of the relationship with the partner. Finally, a history of the partner’s sexual function may be helpful. Attention is given to defining the problem, clearly distinguishing ED from complaints about ejaculation and/or orgasm, and establishing the chronology and severity of symptoms. An assessment of patient/partner needs and expectations of therapy is equally important.
- VasectomyOur office policy requires the patient to come in for a consultation with the physician first, that is the initial fee involved. The vasectomy is performed in our outpatient surgical center so there are charges for both the physician and the outpatient facility. If you would like a fee quote please call 402-489-8888 opt 4. At the time of your consultation our patient accounts manager will provide you with a cost estimate of the surgery before it is scheduled. Since this is an elective procedure prepayment of the estimate is required.
