Care Philosophy
Dr. Kukreja believes in providing the best care for urological cancer patients. This includes a multidisciplinary approach as well as the most advanced technology. Working with patients in developing a treatment plan is extremely important in the treatment of urologic cancers. Patients with urologic cancers often have unique needs and these must be recognized. She hopes that through the latest developments in surgery and cancer care we can provide the best urologic cancer care. Dr. Kukreja performs about 100 robot assisted bladder removal cases per year (radical cystectomies). Dr. Kukreja believes that having a physician that performs many of the same procedures per year improves outcomes and decreases complications. Dr. Kukreja performs the urinary diversions inside of the body with the robot and without making a larger incision.
