Urologist in Bacchus Marsh, Melbourne

Specialist Urologist Serving Bacchus Marsh and the Moorabool Shire

Residents of Bacchus Marsh and the Moorabool Shire now have local access to specialist urological care through Dias Urology. Dr Brendan Dias, a FRACS-qualified urologist with fellowship training in robotic surgery, provides regular consulting sessions at The Elms Family Medical Centre in Bacchus Marsh, bringing specialist care to this growing regional community.

Our Bacchus Marsh clinic serves patients from across the Moorabool Shire including Ballan, Gordon, and surrounding areas. We understand that accessing specialist care has traditionally required travel to Melbourne, which is why we've established a local presence to reduce this burden on patients and their families.

Local Specialist Care for a Growing Community

Bacchus Marsh and the surrounding region have experienced significant population growth, yet specialist medical services have often lagged behind. Dr Dias is committed to bridging this gap by providing the same high-quality urological care available in metropolitan Melbourne to the Moorabool community.

Our practice sees all referrals within two weeks, prioritising urgent cases including suspected cancers and acute stone presentations. We work closely with local GPs to ensure seamless care coordination, and our team can arrange urgent appointments when clinically indicated.

When surgical treatment is required, Dr Dias operates at hospitals in the Melbourne metropolitan area, including Western Private Hospital and John Fawkner Private Hospital. We coordinate pre-operative assessments and post-operative follow-up locally where possible, minimising travel requirements.

Comprehensive Prostate Services

Prostate conditions are common among men over 50, and our Bacchus Marsh clinic offers thorough assessment and treatment planning. For men concerned about prostate cancer, we provide complete evaluation including PSA monitoring, clinical examination, and coordination of advanced imaging when indicated.

When prostate biopsy is required, Dr Dias performs MRI-fusion targeted biopsies—the most accurate method for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer. This technique combines MRI imaging with ultrasound guidance to sample suspicious areas with precision.

For men diagnosed with prostate cancer, robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy offers excellent outcomes with faster recovery than traditional surgery. Benign prostate enlargement can be managed with medications or surgical options including HoLEP, Rezum, and UroLift, depending on individual circumstances.

Kidney Stone Treatment

Kidney stones can cause severe pain and require prompt attention. Our Bacchus Marsh clinic can assess stone presentations and arrange appropriate treatment, which may include medical management for small stones or surgical intervention for larger stones.

Treatment options include shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), ureteroscopy with laser fragmentation, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for complex cases. We aim for complete stone clearance whilst minimising patient discomfort and recovery time.

For patients who experience recurrent stones, metabolic evaluation identifies underlying causes and guides preventive strategies. Understanding why stones form allows targeted interventions to reduce future stone risk.

Cancer Care and Uro-Oncology

A cancer diagnosis is challenging, and local specialist support makes a real difference. Dr Dias provides comprehensive uro-oncology services for bladder, kidney, prostate, and testicular cancers, coordinating with multidisciplinary teams when additional treatments are required.

Initial consultations and follow-up appointments can often be conducted at our Bacchus Marsh clinic, reducing travel requirements during what is already a stressful time. We maintain close communication with local GPs to ensure coordinated care throughout the treatment journey.

Men's Health and General Urology

Our practice provides expert care across the full range of urological conditions. We treat urinary tract infections, haematuria (blood in urine), testicular conditions, and male incontinence. Vasectomy consultations and follow-up can also be conducted locally.

For men with urethral strictures or other reconstructive needs, we offer comprehensive assessment and treatment planning. Dialysis access surgery including arteriovenous fistula formation is available for patients with chronic kidney disease.

The Elms Family Medical Centre

Our Bacchus Marsh consulting sessions are held at The Elms Family Medical Centre on Main Street, in the heart of town. The centre offers modern facilities with easy parking access. Our presence within an established medical centre allows close collaboration with local GPs and allied health professionals.

Appointments can be booked through our central office, and we can accommodate urgent referrals as needed. We also maintain consulting rooms in Maribyrnong for patients who prefer a Melbourne location or require procedures not available locally.

Serving the Moorabool Region

Beyond Bacchus Marsh itself, our clinic serves patients from throughout the Moorabool Shire including Ballan, Gordon, Myrniong, and surrounding rural areas. We understand the challenges of accessing specialist care in regional areas and strive to make the process as convenient as possible.

Telehealth consultations are available for suitable follow-up appointments, reducing travel requirements for patients in more distant locations. We work with patients to find the most practical arrangements for their individual circumstances.
