About James K. Kuan

A guiding principle in Dr. Kuan’s practice is to provide care that optimizes and improves a man’s quality of life, and a large part of his practice is devoted to men who suffer from urinary and sexual issues after prostate cancer treatment. As a prosthetic urologist, he offers men comprehensive care for urinary incontinence (artificial urinary sphincter and urinary sling) and erectile dysfunction (penile implant). He offers non-surgical and surgical management for Peyronie’s disease as well as no-scalpel/no-needle vasectomy, with option of same-day consult and procedure.
