"Distinguishing our program, our innovative approach is to remove the stones and determine why they form, potentially eliminating the need for future surgery."
Dr. Sur’s experience includes fellowship training at Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, where he spent 2 years learning surgical management and prevention of routine and complex kidney stones. Past positions include uro-oncology fellowship program director for the National Cancer Institute and National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, MD.
