Working as a first assist for a general surgeon, she introduced Dr. Fernstrum to medicine and the operating room. He has special interests in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as well as men’s health, kidney stones and cancers of the genitourinary tract.Outside of the office, Dr. Fernstrum enjoys spending time with his wife and children and partaking in hiking, biking, paddle boarding and sport clays. In his free time he volunteers for Habitat for Humanity.I believe that every patient should have a say in their treatment. As most conditions can be treated either medically or surgically, this is one of the main aspects that drew me to urology. I enjoy providing an individualized care plan that best fits my patients' values and lifestyle.
