Urology
Comprehensive. Compassionate. Contemporary.
Welcome to the Urology Department at Washington Health Medical Group, a place where top specialists with top experience lead to great outcomes.
“It’s not just skills and know-how that make us successful,” said urologist Mark Saleh, MD. “It's also about a philosophy of treating every patient as unique.” Urologist Mark Hsu, MD, agrees, and added, “No two patients are alike. There’s a story behind every patient, and we enjoy hearing about their lives and what brought them to us. This helps us to best tailor a personalized treatment plan.”
When these patients arrive, they’re choosing one of the preeminent urology teams in Northern California. Dr. Saleh and Dr. Hsu are both board-certified by the American Board of Urology, and each is experienced in minimally invasive and state-of-the-art procedures. The physician-researchers are highly trained and skilled in identifying all types of disorders that affect the urinary tract––and providing effective behavioral, medical and/or surgical treatments.
The program’s broad range of treatment options are available for men, women and children, and the entire team is committed to safe, high-quality care in every patient encounter. A huge asset to the program is the academic and community collaboration with multidisciplinary teams at Washington Health Medical Group, Washington Hospital and the University of California, San Francisco.

Among the Conditions We Treat
Men
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) –– enlarged prostate
BPH is an enlargement of the prostate, which can cause an overgrowth that constricts the urethra and limits the flow of urine. BPH is quite common in men older than 50 years. It’s not the same as prostate cancer and doesn’t increase the risk of cancer. However, it can cause symptoms that can affect quality of life. Possible symptoms include a weaker or intermittent stream, frequency, urgency, and waking up multiple times at night to urinate. In some cases, BPH can lead to infections, bladder stones, and reduced kidney function. Many men may note improvement with medications, while others may prefer or require a procedural intervention to improve their condition.
