All Conditions We Treat

Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH)

As men get older, it’s common for the prostate gland to enlarge, known as benign prostatic hyperplasia or benign prostatic hypertrophy. The enlarged prostate can block urine flow and cause symptoms like a frequent and urgent need to urinate, increased frequency of urination at night, difficulty starting urination or a weak urine stream. BPH risk factors include aging, family history of prostate problems, ethnic background, diabetes, heart disease and lifestyle.

Better Ear Health

Many medical conditions can affect your hearing health. Treatment of these and other hearing losses can often lead to improved or restored hearing. If left undiagnosed and untreated, some conditions can lead to irreversible hearing impairment or deafness.

Biceps Tendon Rupture

The bicep tendon attaches the bicep muscle in the upper front arm to bones in the shoulder and elbow. A partial tear or a complete tear of the bicep tendon can occur, with symptoms ranging from a gradual or sharp, sudden pain in the upper arm, bruising, tenderness, immobility, and weakness. Injury and overuse of the shoulders and arms are the main causes of a tendon rupture.

Bile Duct Injuries Or Strictures

A bile duct stricture is a narrowing of the bile duct, which connects the liver to the intestine and drains bile (digestive fluid from the liver). A stricture can be caused by different diseases or injury (surgical) to the bile ducts, and it is usually treated with a stint to open the obstruction and help the bile drain.

Bipolar Disorders

Once known as manic depression, bipolar disorder is characterized by extreme mood swings that fluctuate between emotional highs and lows. An individual with bipolar disorder may feel energized and euphoric, and then shift to hopelessness and depression. Most individuals with bipolar disorders feel much more like themselves with treatment plans that often include medications and counseling.
