Urologist in Epping, Melbourne

Specialist Urologist Serving Epping and Melbourne's Northern Suburbs

Residents of Epping and Melbourne's northern corridor now have convenient access to specialist urological care through Dias Urology. Dr Brendan Dias, a FRACS-qualified urologist with fellowship training in robotic surgery, provides comprehensive private urology services at our Bundoora clinic, just a short drive from Epping.

Our Bundoora consulting rooms are ideally located for patients from Epping, South Morang, Mill Park, and the surrounding growth corridor. We understand that accessing specialist care shouldn't require a trip to the city, which is why we've established our northern practice to serve this rapidly growing community.

Advanced Prostate Care for Northern Melbourne

Prostate health concerns are common among men over 50, and early assessment can make a significant difference to outcomes. Dr Dias offers thorough prostate evaluation including PSA testing, clinical examination, and when indicated, MRI-fusion targeted prostate biopsy—the most accurate method for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer.

For men diagnosed with prostate cancer, treatment options are carefully discussed based on cancer characteristics and individual circumstances. Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy offers excellent cancer control with the benefits of minimally invasive surgery: smaller incisions, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster return to normal activities.

Benign prostate enlargement (BPH) affects many men as they age, causing bothersome urinary symptoms. We offer the full range of treatments from medication management through to surgical options including HoLEP, Rezum, and UroLift. The choice of treatment depends on prostate size, symptom severity, and patient preferences.

Kidney Stone Treatment Close to Epping

Kidney stones are increasingly common in Australia, and prompt treatment is essential to relieve pain and prevent complications. Our practice provides comprehensive stone management from acute presentations through to preventive care for recurrent stone formers.

Treatment is tailored to individual stone characteristics. Options include medical expulsive therapy for small stones likely to pass spontaneously, shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for stones in favourable locations, ureteroscopy with laser fragmentation for ureteric stones, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for large kidney stones.

For patients who experience recurrent stones, metabolic evaluation can identify underlying causes such as dietary factors or metabolic abnormalities, allowing targeted preventive strategies to reduce future stone formation.

Uro-Oncology Services

Cancer diagnosis and treatment require specialist expertise and a compassionate approach. Dr Dias provides comprehensive care for urological cancers including bladder, kidney, prostate, and testicular tumours. When multidisciplinary input is required, we work closely with medical oncologists and radiation specialists to ensure coordinated, patient-centred care.

Bladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer in Australia. Early-stage disease is typically managed with transurethral resection (TURBT), whilst more advanced cases may require robotic cystectomy with urinary diversion. We use enhanced detection techniques including blue light cystoscopy to improve tumour visualisation.

Surgical Expertise at Northern Private Hospital

For Epping patients requiring surgery, Dr Dias operates at Northern Private Hospital in Epping—one of the Ramsay Health Care network's excellent facilities. This means surgical care is available right in your local area, without the need to travel to the city. The hospital offers modern operating theatres and experienced perioperative teams dedicated to patient safety and comfort.

Other procedures may be performed at John Fawkner Private Hospital or St Vincent's Private, depending on the nature of the surgery and patient preference. We can discuss the most appropriate location during your consultation.

Men's Health and General Urology

Our practice provides expert care across the full spectrum of urological conditions. Vasectomy procedures are performed as day cases with minimal discomfort and rapid recovery. We also treat testicular conditions, urinary tract infections, haematuria (blood in urine), and male incontinence.

For men with urethral strictures causing difficulty urinating, we offer both endoscopic and reconstructive surgical options depending on stricture characteristics. Dialysis access surgery including arteriovenous fistula formation is also available for patients with kidney disease.
