Dr. Arpeet Shah Designated GreenLight™ Center Of Excellence.
Associated Urological Specialists announced that Dr. Arpeet Shah has been designated as a Center of Excellence for GreenLight™ Laser Therapy treatment – a minimally invasive outpatient procedure for men looking to treat their benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), not just the symptoms.
The Center of Excellence designation recognizes Dr. Shah’s high degree of experience with GreenLight Laser Therapy and commitment to delivering effective, long-lasting therapy to men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Only a select number of physicians have achieved the milestones required to be a GreenLight Center of Excellence.
Alongside his clinical role, Dr. Shah is on the AUS leadership team and serves as the Director of APP Program. Dr. Shah also serves as a member of the National Clinical Board of Solaris, a national urology platform. He also is on the Robotic Surgical Committee at Advocate South Suburban Hospital and the Surgical Quality Committee at University of Chicago Ingalls Memorial Hospital.
Associated Urological Specialists Leaders In Midwest
Only a select number of physicians have achieved the milestones required to be a GreenLight Center of Excellence. Dr. Shah becomes the fifth board-certified urologist at Associated Urological Specialists to receive this distinction. Dr. Aaron Berger, Dr. Grant Chavin, Dr. Antonio Mancini and Dr. Ike Oguejiofor have also been designated a Greenlight Center of Excellence. AUS continues to lead the way in the total number of Centers of Excellence, not just in the Midwest but throughout the entire United States.
GreenLight Therapy is currently being used in many leading urology practices throughout the United States. To date, more than 1 million patients around the world have been successfully treated with GreenLight Therapy.
GreenLight Therapy can help provide immediate relief from enlarged prostate symptoms such as frequent urination—especially at night, weak urine flow, urgency and incomplete bladder emptying. In addition, GreenLight Laser Therapy requires no incisions and typically has no overall deleterious impact on sexual function.
BPH is a condition in which a man’s prostate enlarges and squeezes the urethra, causing frustrating symptoms such as frequent or urgent urination, a weak or interrupted urine stream, and the need to get up several times a night to urinate. It affects about 50% of men by age 60, and up to 90% of men by age 85.
