Our Physicians

As urologists, our physicians are highly trained to treat disorders of the male and female urinary tract (bladder, ureter, kidney, and urethra) and the male reproductive system. Urology is classified as a surgical subspecialty, but because a variety of clinical problems are encountered when treating urological conditions, knowledge of internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, and other specialties is required.

Our medical staff includes the following physicians:

• Stuart Zykorie, M.D.
• Howard Lippman, M.D.
• Don Berardinucci, M.D.
• Arnold Skor, M.D.
• E.C. "Chip" Winkel, III, M.D.
• Steven Sukin, M.D.

Drs. Zykorie, Lippman, and Berardinucci are certified by the American Board of Urology.
