The procedure is performed by a specially trained, board-certified interventional radiologist, using advanced techniques for treatment.

IPSS Screening Assessment

The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is a seven-question written screening tool used to evaluate the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms related to BPH. The questions are assigned points from 0 to 5. Therefore, the total score can range from 0 to 35 — asymptomatic to very symptomatic. Based on your results, one of our affiliated physicians will provide an accurate diagnosis and determine the most appropriate treatment path. Take the IPSS assessment below to get started.

BPH and Aging: What Every Man Should Know

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate, is a condition that frequently affects older men. As men age, the prostate gland naturally enlarges. While this process is a normal aspect of aging, it can contribute to the development of BPH in men. Learn more about the link between BPH and aging in our guide.

I had a good experience with my procedure and Dr. Mobley’s follow-up calls are great. I’ve never had a doctor who has been so concerned about following up after a procedure to see how I’m doing and if there are any post-procedure problems I may have experienced (which there aren’t). I’d highly recommend Dr. Mobley.

He puts his patients before himself, returning calls and e-mails quickly. Not only is he kind and considerate, he is an excellent physician. I had to have a procedure that requires me to be awake, and he talked me through it and kept me at ease. If I could give him more stars, I would.

This was the best experience I have had in such a long time and I have had quite a few procedures in the past both in patient and out including the procedure I was currently present for. No other surgeon has been so kind, transparent, and gentle. Not only did he personally come out beforehand to provide me with education on my procedure, but he talked me through every step of the way and made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Not to mention his amazing staff! Despite being extremely nervous they kept me smiling and laughing throughout the whole process. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you so much guys!!

I went with my mom who just had a hip surgery. The whole team was very caring, nice and very professional. I did appreciate that the surgeon took the time to explain to me what was wrong with my mom’s arm and what he did to fix it.
