Prostate Cancer
has Newer Treatment Options
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer to affect men, as well as their second most common cause of cancer-related death. With breakthroughs in 3T multiparametric MRI, doctors can provide better screening options, more accurate diagnoses, and treatment options with a lower risk of side effects compared with traditional treatments.
Relief from BPH
is Easier Than Ever
Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) can make it harder to urinate as you age. You could have trouble starting, have a weak stream, or wake up at night. Using advanced, 3T MRI, we can precisely identify the areas of tissue overgrowth, and precisely treat problem spots less invasively and without a hospital stay.
Prostate Laser Center, as a part of the HALO Diagnostics team, can now forge a path with cutting edge prostate cancer and BPH treatments. The combination of science and technology is allowing us to do what was previously only dreamed of.

My psa prior to my procedure in Feb 2025 was 5.28. 6 months after the procedure my psa was .19 and my mri was clear. Traditional urologist dont seem to acknowledge this as an option, the only want to take it out or radiate it to oblivion. At least in my case, it seems to have worked great!

I found Dr. Karamanian and after a search of treatment options for Gleason 3/4 =7 and 4.9 PSA. Contacted the Prostrate Laser Center in Houston, and spoke to Dr. K, who answered all me questions, personally returned phone calls, and scheduled me for a procedure on short notice. Had surgery and no complications. Some very minor discomfort with the catheter for 14 days. PSA at 6 months was 1.84 and MRI was normal. I have full normal function in all areas. The process was not cheep, but there are things more important than money! I feel it was worth every penny! Dr. Karamanian is simply amazing and is the best doctor I have ever had. I 100% recommend Dr. Karamanian!

In 2023, I was diagnosed with a Gleason 4+4. For two months, I conducted research in various countries, including Canada, Germany, Australia, France, and the United States, seeking the best possible solution. Most of the time, after reviewing my MRI and biopsy reports, doctors agreed on two options: either removing the prostate or destroying the tissues with a combination of radiotherapy and hormone therapy. Even though I was in my late sixties, I wasn’t convinced by these recommendations. By chance, I discovered the Prostate Laser Center in Houston. Today, more than two years later, my latest MRI shows a PI-RADS 1—the lowest possible level after such a procedure. While I do need some medication to support my marital life (which doesn’t bother me), I am incredibly grateful I met Dr. Karamanian and his outstanding team. I continue with regular follow-ups: an annual MRI to monitor my condition and PSA tests twice a month. This ongoing care reassures me and gives me peace of mind. My case was right at the limit of what laser treatment could achieve, and I feel very fortunate to have benefited from their expertise. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Karamanian and the entire team.

Having the laser ablation procedure performed by the Prostate Laser Center in 2023 has been a God send. I have been cancer free since the procedure without any ugly side effects that occur in other cancer treatments. I would highly recommend anyone with prostate cancer to use the Prostate Laser Center as their choice for treatment. My results after treatment was that my PSA dropped 98% down from its high point...and my MRI checks show cancer free for the past two years.
