Dr. Tung Shu earned his medical degree from The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, where he also finished his residency in general surgery. He completed a fellowship in endourology, minimally invasive surgery and robotic surgery and a fellowship in prostate, kidney and bladder cancer at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. He also completed a fellowship in urologic oncology with an emphasis on bladder and testicular cancer at Taipei Medical University in Taiwan.

Board certified in urology, Dr. Shu has been in practice since 1996. He sees patients of all ages and also speaks Chinese. His clinical interests include minimally invasive surgery; robotics; kidney, prostate and bladder cancers; kidney stones; infections; and other benign urologic conditions such utero pelvic junction obstruction.

A clinical associate professor of urology at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, Dr. Shu has extensive experience in minimally invasive surgical approaches using laparoscopy, endoscopy, surgical robotics and single-incision laparoscopic and robotic surgeries. These procedures typically result in less scarring, less blood loss and a quicker return to normal activities.

Dr. Shu, who bases his practice style on open communication, draws pictures to give his patients a better understanding of their conditions. This kind of education, he believes, helps them feel less anxiety about their next steps, which ultimately affects their recovery.

Away from his practice, Dr. Shu enjoys spending time with his wife and daughters and playing golf.
