UroLift® Center of Excellence
Riccardo Ricciardi, Jr., MD has been designated as a UroLift® Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Ricciardi has achieved a high level of training and experience with the UroLift System and demonstrated a commitment to exemplary care for men suffering from symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH.

The UroLift® System is a truly minimally-invasive therapy for BPH. It can be performed in-office under local anesthesia without heating, cutting or removal of prostate tissue. Patients are able to get back to their normal routines quickly and can discontinue the use of medications.Five-year data from a randomized study shows the UroLift® System offers not only rapid improvement, but also durable relief for patients with BPH.
