Urology
Our Team
University Urology Associates
 In 1928, Dr. Winfield W. Scott began his 30-year tenure as
the second Chief of Urology at the University of Rochester School
of Medicine. Today, Dr. Edward M. Messing is the Winfield W.
Scott Professor and Chair of the Department of Urology. Like
the man for whom his professorship is named, Dr. Messing strongly
believes in the direct connection between research and improvements
in patient care.
That belief is shared by all the physicians in the Urology Department.
Within the department, you’ll find a specialist for every
adult and pediatric urological disorder, disease or condition.
They’re specialists because they not only have expert knowledge
of the latest research and treatment advances, they’ve
usually participated in that research. But the goal of all their
research, and their first priority, is to help their patients.
Our team includes the following physicians:
