He also uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to treat certain prostate cancers, and is exploring the use of regenerative medicine to treat urologic disease, such as low intensity shockwave therapy to improve erectile function.
Maintaining a clinical appointment at Loyola University Chicago, he is involved in clinical research as a Principal Investigator for urologic studies. He is also affiliated with Advocate Christ Outpatient Center, Palos Community Hospital, MetroSouth Medical Center, and Little Company of Mary.

Licensed to practice medicine in Illinois, he is board-certified in urology by the American Board of Urology (ABU).
