Summary

  • Dr. Udell loves helping people. His passion to elevate those around him and to treat both patients and colleagues like his family have been the driving factor behind his numerous successes and accolades. His special interest and training in minimally invasive robotic surgery help him continue to focus on cutting edge treatment of prostate, bladder, kidney, testicular, and ureteral cancer for his patients.

    Sometimes, the side effects that come from other diagnoses greatly affect patients (and their families) Urologic quality of life. To help, he sought additional training in the advanced treatment of erectile dysfunction, male incontinence, and the additional urologic ways to help after a patient has successfully won their cancer battle. He is thankful to have had world-renowned mentors and thought leaders in the surgical placement of inflatable penile prostheses, male slings, and artificial urinary sphincters.

    Additionally, he has specialized training in the advanced treatment of penile curvature (Peyronie’s Disease). He is able to help these patients with a variety of state-of-the-art treatments, including injections, penile plication, or even the implantation of penile prosthesis. This is a topic that is difficult for most men to discuss. Dr. Udell will put you at ease, and understands how this greatly affects the patient and their spouse.

    Dr. Udell was raised in the Inland Northwest (McCall, Idaho, and Swan Lake, Montana). He was lucky to be able to spend his upbringing on the lakes and in the mountains. These experiences shaped him and drove his desire to return here with his family. Dr. Udell began his urology practice in Raleigh, North Carolina in 2015 and was an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Urology at The University of North Carolina, as well as Assistant Professor of Surgery at the Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine. He and his family moved back to the Inland Northwest in 2022 and is grateful to continue to serve his community.
