Training & Philosophy.
Dr. Hong's path to TULSA-PRO began with a rigorous, conventional foundation. He earned his medical degree from Stanford University School of Medicine, then completed his urological surgery residency at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital — training grounds that shaped his clinical precision and his standards for what careful, evidence-based care should look like.
But Dr. Hong's approach to prostate cancer treatment isn't only about technical mastery.
He went on to complete a fellowship in Integrative Medicine under Dr. Andrew Weil at the University of Arizona — training rooted in the belief that healing draws on more than a single procedure or prescription.
That combination is unusual: elite surgical training paired with a philosophy that treats the whole person, not just the disease.
This is why Integrative Urology exists.
Dr. Hong founded the practice to offer patients both — the precision of a Stanford- and Harvard-trained surgeon, and the attentiveness of a physician who sees you as more than your diagnosis.
The no-handoffs model.
Dr. Hong by your side, through every step.
When you're evaluating a TULSA-PRO doctor, one of the most important questions to ask is simple: who will actually be performing my procedure?
At Integrative Urology, the answer is always the same.
Dr. Hong personally performs every TULSA-PRO procedure, start to finish — no residents, no rotating surgical team, no handoffs.
He also personally reviews every patient's MRI and biopsy results before confirming candidacy, so the physician making the call about your treatment is the same physician holding the instrument on procedure day.
This isn't a marketing point. It's a structural choice about how the practice is built, and it's one you're welcome to verify directly when you speak with our team.
What to look for in a TULSA-PRO doctor
Whether you choose Integrative Urology or another practice for your prostate cancer treatment, here's an honest framework for evaluating any TULSA-PRO provider:
- Procedure volume. How many whole-gland TULSA-PRO procedures has this physician personally performed, and is that number independently verifiable?
- Who's actually operating. Does the physician perform every case personally, or is care handed off to residents or fellows?
- Specialized training. Beyond general urology, has this physician pursued additional fellowship training relevant to your case?
- What outcomes they prioritize. Is preserving continence and sexual function treated as a primary goal of treatment, or an afterthought to cancer control?
- Direct access. Will you have a direct relationship with your treating physician before and after the procedure, or primarily with a care team?
Dr. Hong's record on each of these is detailed throughout this page — but we'd encourage you to ask any TULSA-PRO provider you're considering these same five questions.
