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.

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.

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.

UCI Urology is extremely pleased to welcome our newest faculty member and inaugural chair holder of the Jerry D. Choate Presidential Endowed Chair in Urology Tissue Engineering, Joshua Mauney, Ph.D.
Dr. Mauney joins us from Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School bringing a decade of experience in development of medical devices, continuous funding from NIH, and >40 publications authored in international peer-reviewed journals.
In particular, Dr. Mauney’s research focuses on the fabrication and evaluation of “off-the-shelf” grafts, from silkworm cocoons, for the reconstruction of hollow organs of the urinary tract, like the bladder, urethra, and ureter. These silk fibroin-based scaffolds have low immunogenicity polymers and high structural strength and elasticity. Therefore, can be tailored to mimic the structural and functional properties of native tissues, without eliciting adverse host immune responses.
In addition, Dr. Mauney’s team also specializes in the creation of novel large animal models of urinary tract and gastrointestinal disease for preclinical medical device testing. In December 2018, the internationally renowned journal, Tissue Engineering Part A, highlighted Dr. Mauney’s work, which can be used to screen novel therapeutics. https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/ten.tea.2018.0113
We wish Dr. Mauney continued success at UCI Urology and have no doubt that he is poised to make significant impacts in the health of our Orange County patients and beyond.
Nothing but the absolute best in patient care & treatment.
With UC Irvine Department of Urology, you can be confident in our dedication to treating our patients with personalized care while using the most advanced diagnosis and treatment methods.
