Dr. Paul Smith graduated from Rice University with a Bachelor of Arts in biochemistry and earned his medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. He completed his urology residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.

Dr. Smith’s practice focuses primarily on:

  • Robotic prostate cancer surgery: utilizing an individualized surgical approach for cancer control and preservation of normal urinary and sexual functioning.
  • Robotic kidney cancer surgery: including robotic partial nephrectomy, a complex procedure for kidney tumors that better preserves normal kidney function.
  • Enlarged Prostate (BPH): including Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP), a more effective and more durable minimally invasive procedure for BPH patients.
  • Kidney Stones (Nephrolithiasis): treated by all types of stone surgery, including non-invasive shockwave lithotripsy, digital ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy and percutaneous nephrostolithotomy. After the removal of stones, Dr. Smith focuses on individualized strategies for prevention of further stone formation.
