Thank you Doctor Ahlering for giving me the potential for a future. Your leadership and skill is reflected throughout your wonderful caring team who navigated me through this phase of my journey and treated me as if I was one of your own family.
John R.

My recovery exceeded every expectation that I had. After the surgery I was basically pain free and only took 1 Tylenol tablet! I was able to walk at length couple of days after the surgery. I did not even feel weak as one expects after the surgery.
Elizabeth Z.

Very professional staff, I like the rapport that they build with their patients. I took my son in for a procedure and the medical assistants took me under their wings and explained every step of the procedure in detail. I couldn't had chosen a better facility.
Russell G.

I have been treated by Dr. Louie and have nothing but good things to say about it. He is friendly, knowledgeable and will answer all the questions posed. In other words he has good bedside manner.

American Urological Association
AUA 2019
May 3-6, 2019 Chicago, Illinois, USA

The University of California Irvine’s Department of Urology has been a consistent presenter at the American Urologic Association annual meeting for over 20 years. Annually, the American Urological Association’s national meeting is the testing grounds for new ideas and unique research of both a basic and clinical nature. This is the major meeting of the year for Urology and attracts over 15,000 urologists from the U.S.A. and around the world.

Not surprisingly, the American Urologic Association annual meeting is a highly competitive meeting in which only 25% of submitted abstracts are accepted for presentation. Due to the generosity of our supporting community and the hard work of our investigators, 2018-2019 has been a banner year for research within the department. Accordingly, it is with much excitement that our department had an amazing 63% rate of abstract acceptance and will present over 25 abstracts at this year’s meeting. Without you, this would never have been possible!
