Top Urologist in Los Angeles

Accessing Expert Urologic Care Near The Grove

Our Beverly Hills office is strategically located just minutes from The Grove and Los Angeles’ central neighborhoods. Patients traveling from the Fairfax District and Mid-Wilshire areas (90036) can take 3rd Street westbound directly to our location—a straightforward 5-8 minute drive during off-peak hours. For residents coming from Koreatown (90020) or the Wilshire Center area (90010), Wilshire Boulevard westbound to Fairfax Avenue, then north to 3rd Street provides efficient access, typically 12-18 minutes outside morning and evening rush periods. From Mid-City and Arlington Heights (90019), La Brea Avenue north to 3rd Street, then west offers an alternative route that often avoids Wilshire Boulevard congestion.

Early morning appointments before 8:30 AM or midday slots between 1-3 PM generally provide the easiest travel times from central Los Angeles neighborhoods. Metered street parking and nearby parking structures offer convenient options. Our affiliation with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center ensures seamless coordination for advanced diagnostic imaging, surgical procedures, or specialized consultations, with in-office diagnostics available for same-day results when clinically appropriate.

Why Choose Comprehensive Urology in Los Angeles

• Led by Dr. Kia Michel, MD, one of the best urologists in Los Angeles
• A full‑service private urology clinic offering advanced diagnostics and minimally invasive treatments
• Specialists in kidney stones, prostate care including BPH and prostate cancer, ED, Peyronie’s disease, vasectomy, women’s pelvic health, and more
• State‑of‑the‑art technology including robotic surgery, laser stone removal, low-intesity shockwave therapy, and radiofrequency pelvic treatments
• Convenient access for patients across Los Angeles, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and surrounding areas

Los Angeles residents seeking the best urologist for conditions ranging from prostate concerns to kidney stones to sexual health issues select our practice for our clinical expertise, advanced treatment options, and patient-centered approach. Dr. Kia Michel and our team of specialists—including female urologist Dr. Jeannie Su—provide evidence-based care using minimally invasive technologies that reduce recovery time and improve outcomes.

We diagnose and treat the complete spectrum of urologic conditions:

Men’s Health & Prostate Care

Our expertise includes comprehensive management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH/enlarged prostate), prostate cancer screening and treatment, elevated PSA evaluation, and prostatitis. For men experiencing urinary symptoms like weak stream, frequent nighttime urination, incomplete emptying, or difficulty starting urination, we offer both conservative management and advanced minimally invasive procedures.

Minimally Invasive BPH Treatments

When medication alone doesn’t adequately control enlarged prostate symptoms, we provide office-based and outpatient procedures including UroLift (prostatic urethral lift), Rezūm (water vapor thermal therapy), and Aquablation (robotic waterjet ablation). These alternatives to traditional surgery typically involve same-day or overnight procedures with faster recovery and preservation of sexual function.

Prostate Cancer Diagnosis & Treatment

 We utilize MRI-fusion prostate biopsy technology for precise tissue sampling when cancer is suspected, significantly improving detection accuracy compared to traditional blind biopsy techniques. Treatment options range from active surveillance for low-risk disease to robotic prostatectomy for localized cancer, with individualized recommendations based on cancer characteristics, patient age, overall health, and personal preferences.

Kidney Stone Management

Los Angeles patients experiencing acute flank pain, hematuria (blood in urine), or recurrent kidney stones benefit from our comprehensive stone program. We perform in-office imaging and urinalysis for rapid diagnosis, provide immediate pain management, and offer advanced treatment including ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy for stone fragmentation and removal. Our metabolic stone analysis identifies underlying causes—such as dietary factors, dehydration, or metabolic abnormalities—allowing targeted prevention strategies to reduce recurrence.

Sexual Medicine & Men’s Health

 Dr. Kia Michel’s expertise in sexual medicine encompasses treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED), Peyronie’s disease (penile curvature), premature ejaculation, and low testosterone. Treatment options include oral medications, low-intensity shockwave therapy for ED (a non-invasive treatment that improves penile blood flow), testosterone replacement therapy, and surgical correction when indicated. We address these concerns with medical professionalism and sensitivity to the significant impact they have on quality of life and relationships.

Urologic Oncology

 Beyond prostate cancer, we diagnose and treat bladder cancer, kidney cancer, and testicular cancer. Our approach includes cystoscopy for bladder evaluation, cross-sectional imaging interpretation, and coordination with medical oncologists and radiation oncologists when multimodal treatment is appropriate.

General Urology

We manage hematuria (blood in urine) with thorough diagnostic evaluation to identify causes ranging from infection to stones to malignancy. Treatment for recurrent urinary tract infections involves identifying underlying anatomic or functional abnormalities. We address urinary obstruction from various causes, perform vasectomy and vasectomy reversal, and provide circumcision services for medical indications.

Women’s Urology

Dr. Jeannie Su, our female urologist on staff, specializes in urinary incontinence, recurrent UTIs, overactive bladder, pelvic floor dysfunction, and women’s sexual health concerns. Many female patients in the 90036, 90020, and surrounding Los Angeles communities prefer consulting with a female urologist for these sensitive conditions.

Our clinical advantages for Los Angeles patients include:

• Advanced Diagnostics: In-office cystoscopy, ultrasound, uroflowmetry, post-void residual measurement, and urinalysis with microscopy provide same-visit results
• Minimally Invasive Focus: When surgical intervention is necessary, we prioritize techniques that minimize tissue trauma, reduce hospital stays, and accelerate recovery
• Robotic Surgery Expertise: For procedures requiring open surgical approaches traditionally, robotic assistance provides enhanced precision, smaller incisions, less blood loss, and faster recovery
• Office-Based Procedures: Many treatments previously requiring hospital admission can now be performed in our office setting with local anesthesia, reducing costs and eliminating facility fees
• Cedars-Sinai Affiliation: Direct access to one of the nation’s premier medical centers for complex cases, advanced imaging, and multidisciplinary care coordination

The evidence base supporting early urologic evaluation is substantial. Delaying assessment of hematuria, for example, can allow progression of treatable conditions. Similarly, men who normalize progressive urinary symptoms often present only when they develop acute urinary retention—a painful emergency requiring catheterization. Women who accept urinary leakage as inevitable miss years of improved quality of life available through effective treatments.

Our location near The Grove and central Los Angeles neighborhoods in the 90036, 90019, 90020, and 90010 communities eliminates geographic barriers to specialized urologic care. Over 600 Google Reviews reflect our sustained commitment to clinical excellence and patient satisfaction, establishing us as the best urologist option for comprehensive care in Los Angeles.

We accept most major insurance providers serving the Los Angeles area. For specific coverage questions, appointment scheduling, or urgent concerns, contact our office directly.

Frequently Asked Questions for Los Angeles Residents

What symptoms indicate I should see a urologist rather than my primary care doctor?

While primary care physicians manage straightforward urinary tract infections and initial prostate screening, a board-certified urologist is necessary for elevated symptoms. These include 

• visible blood in urine (hematuria) even if it occurs only once,
• persistent microscopic blood detected on routine urinalysis, 
• elevated PSA levels, 
• urinary symptoms that don’t improve with medication (frequent urination, weak stream, urgency, incomplete emptying),
• flank pain that could be kidney stones, 
• erectile dysfunction
• recurrent UTIs (particularly in women experiencing three or more annually), 
• urinary incontinence affecting quality of life

Los Angeles patients receive a quick diagnosis because we have most of the necessary equipment for the most common test in out state-of-the-art Beverly Hills facility. We’re known for providing same-visit answers rather than requiring multiple appointments across different locations for imaging and lab work.

Do you offer same-day appointments for urgent urologic problems?

Yes, we have urgent sessions available with our urologists and urology PA’s. For acute symptoms including suspected kidney stones with severe pain, sudden inability to urinate (urinary retention), concerning hematuria, testicular pain or swelling, or other urgent urologic issues, we prioritize rapid evaluation.

Our in-office diagnostic capabilities include ultrasound, urinalysis with microscopy, and urine culture. This allows us to assess immediately rather than directing patients to emergency departments where wait times are long and urologic expertise may be limited. We make every effort to accommodate urgent concerns within 24-48 hours. Los Angeles patients experiencing urologic emergencies during business hours should call our office at 310-278-8330 to discuss their symptoms with our clinical staff, who will determine the most appropriate timing and setting for evaluation.

What makes Comprehensive Urology the best urologist choice in Los Angeles?

Several factors distinguish our practice as the top urologist option for Los Angeles residents. 

1. Our physician expertise: Dr. Kia Michel’s with 25+ years of experience is regarded by many as the best urologists Los Angeles has to offer. He specializes in general urology, urological surgery and sexual medicine. 
2. Best Female Urologist in Los Angeles: Dr. Jeannie Su’s focus on women’s urology ensures female patients have access to a female urologist for sensitive concerns. We offer the latest minimally invasive procedures (UroLift, Rezūm, Aquablation for BPH; MRI-fusion biopsy for prostate cancer; laser lithotripsy for stones; low-intensity shockwave therapy for ED) that weren’t available even five years ago, providing better outcomes with less invasiveness than traditional surgery. 
3. Our diagnostic efficiency: in-office testing eliminates the delays and inconvenience of multiple appointments at different facilities. Fourth, our Cedars-Sinai affiliation ensures access to advanced resources when complex cases require institutional support. Finally, our outcomes and patient satisfaction: over 600 verified reviews demonstrate consistent delivery of high-quality care. For Los Angeles patients in the 90036, 90020, 90019, and 90010 communities seeking comprehensive urologic care from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up, these factors collectively establish us as the best urologist choice in the region.

Women’s Urology in Los Angeles: Specialized Care with Dr. Jeannie Su

Comprehensive Urology provides specialized women’s urologic care to Los Angeles residents at our Beverly Hills location, featuring Dr. Jeannie Su, a board-certified female urologist with expertise in pelvic floor dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and women’s sexual health. Our practice at 8631 W. 3rd St., Suite #1115E, Los Angeles, CA 90048 serves female patients throughout the 90036, 90019, 90020, and surrounding Los Angeles zip codes with comprehensive women’s pelvic health services.

Why Los Angeles Women in 90036 and 90019 Choose Dr. Jeannie Su

Los Angeles female patients select Dr. Jeannie Su and Comprehensive Urology for sensitive urologic concerns that significantly impact daily quality of life. Many women prefer consulting with a female urologist for conditions including urinary incontinence, pelvic floor dysfunction, recurrent UTIs, and sexual health concerns. Dr. Su provides evidence-based treatment in a comfortable, judgment-free environment where women feel heard and understood.

Our specialized women’s services for Los Angeles patients include:

Urinary Incontinence Treatment

Comprehensive evaluation and treatment for stress incontinence (leakage with coughing, sneezing, exercise), urge incontinence (sudden, strong urges), and mixed incontinence. Treatment options range from pelvic floor physical therapy and medications to advanced radiofrequency therapy and minimally invasive procedures tailored to each patient’s severity and lifestyle needs.

Recurrent UTI Management

Women experiencing frequent urinary tract infections benefit from our advanced diagnostic approach using rapid PCR testing and antibiotic genetic testing to identify specific bacteria and determine optimal treatment. We investigate underlying causes including incomplete bladder emptying, anatomic factors, hormonal changes, and behavioral patterns. Our preventive strategies address the root cause rather than simply treating each infection as it occurs. For patients experiencing UTI discharge symptoms, we provide urgent evaluation and targeted treatment.

Overactive Bladder Solutions

 For women experiencing urgent, frequent urination that disrupts work, social activities, and sleep, we offer behavioral modifications, medications, and advanced therapies including PTNS (posterior tibial nerve stimulation). This minimally invasive neuromodulation treatment provides relief for many women who haven’t responded adequately to first-line therapies.

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction & Postpartum Care

Many women develop pelvic floor weakness following childbirth, leading to incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or painful intercourse. These conditions are not inevitable consequences of motherhood—effective treatments exist. Our approach includes pelvic floor assessment, physical therapy referrals, and when appropriate, advanced therapies to restore strength and function.

Radiofrequency Therapy & Vaginal Rejuvenation

 ThermiVa vaginal rejuvenation uses controlled radiofrequency energy to address vaginal laxity, stress incontinence, and symptoms of vaginal atrophy including dryness and painful intercourse. This non-surgical treatment is particularly beneficial for postpartum patients and menopausal women experiencing changes in vaginal tissue health and bladder control.

Women’s Sexual Health

Dr. Su addresses painful intercourse, vaginal dryness, decreased sensation, and other aspects of female sexual dysfunction with medical sensitivity and clinical expertise. These concerns significantly affect quality of life and intimate relationships, yet many women hesitate to discuss them. Our practice provides a safe space to address these issues with evidence-based solutions including hormonal therapies, vaginal rejuvenation treatments, and specialized medications.

Pelvic Pain Evaluation

Chronic pelvic pain, bladder pain syndrome, and interstitial cystitis require thorough diagnostic evaluation to identify contributing factors. Dr. Su conducts comprehensive assessments including urodynamic testing when indicated, coordinates care with pelvic floor physical therapists, and develops multimodal treatment plans.

The clinical reality is that conditions like urinary leakage, recurrent infections, and pelvic floor disorders disproportionately affect women due to anatomical differences, hormonal fluctuations, and the effects of pregnancy and childbirth. However, many Los Angeles women in the 90036, 90019, and 90020 communities delay seeking specialized care—often for years—because they’ve been told these symptoms are “normal” or because they feel embarrassed discussing them. Dr. Su’s expertise ensures that women receive accurate diagnosis and effective treatment rather than accepting reduced quality of life.

Our proximity to central Los Angeles neighborhoods eliminates geographic barriers to specialized women’s urologic care. The availability of a female urologist makes a meaningful difference in patient comfort, treatment engagement, and outcomes for sensitive conditions.

While our primary focus for this service line is women’s health, Comprehensive Urology also serves male family members with our complete team of specialists, offering services from routine vasectomy to advanced prostate cancer treatment, providing comprehensive urologic care for the entire family.

We accept most major insurance providers serving the Los Angeles area. For specific coverage questions or to schedule a consultation with Dr. Jeannie Su, contact our office directly.

When should I see a urologist for bladder leakage or incontinence?

If you experience urine leakage with physical activity, coughing, sneezing, or laughing (stress incontinence), or if you have sudden, urgent needs to urinate that sometimes result in accidents (urge incontinence), evaluation is warranted regardless of your age or how long you’ve experienced symptoms. Many Los Angeles women normalize bladder leakage as an inevitable part of aging or assume nothing can be done if pelvic floor exercises haven’t helped. Dr. Su evaluates the specific type and underlying cause of incontinence—whether related to childbirth, menopause, pelvic floor weakness, prior surgeries, or neurologic factors—and develops an individualized treatment plan. Most women experience significant improvement with appropriate intervention, which may include conservative therapies, medications, or advanced procedures. Delaying treatment often allows progression, making symptoms more disruptive and potentially requiring more intensive intervention later.

What can be done for recurrent urinary tract infections that keep coming back despite antibiotics?

Women experiencing three or more UTIs within 12 months or two within six months benefit from specialized evaluation beyond repeated antibiotic courses. Our practice uses rapid PCR testing to identify specific bacteria causing your infections and antibiotic genetic testing to determine which medications are most effective for your particular strain. This precision approach is especially important for Los Angeles patients who may have been treated multiple times with standard antibiotics that aren’t optimally targeting their infection. We investigate contributing factors including incomplete bladder emptying (post-void residual testing), anatomic abnormalities, estrogen deficiency in menopausal women, sexual activity patterns, and hygiene practices. Treatment strategies may include prophylactic antibiotics taken at strategic times, vaginal estrogen therapy to restore protective bacteria, D-mannose supplementation, cranberry extract with specific proanthocyanidin levels, or behavioral modifications. Our goal is breaking the cycle of recurrent infections and preventing kidney involvement (pyelonephritis), which becomes more likely with frequent bladder infections.

Is radiofrequency therapy like ThermiVa covered by insurance for pelvic floor issues?

Insurance coverage for radiofrequency vaginal rejuvenation varies by carrier and policy. Some plans cover these treatments when medically necessary for documented stress urinary incontinence or pelvic floor dysfunction that has not responded adequately to conservative treatments like pelvic floor physical therapy. Coverage is less likely when treatment is sought primarily for vaginal laxity or sexual function concerns without associated incontinence. During your consultation, Dr. Su conducts a clinical assessment to determine whether your symptoms meet medical necessity criteria and documents objective findings. Our billing staff then verifies your specific insurance coverage and discusses all financial options including payment plans if the treatment is not covered or only partially covered. Many Los Angeles women find that even out-of-pocket investment provides excellent value given the significant quality-of-life improvements—including restored bladder control, improved sexual function, and eliminated need for incontinence products—that these therapies deliver with minimal downtime.
