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.

Would recommend seeing if this is an option for you! After a lot of research into options for treating my Gleason 7 (3+4) cancer, I decided upon Dr. Karamanian in Houston. It was worth the trip. Dr. Karamanian, Nurse Donnie, Nurse Olivia all went out of their way to provide a smooth process. Olivia even came to our hotel at 2AM when the catheter was blocked the night after the procedure (also brought the tools and showed us how to unblock it ourselves in the future). Post surgery was essentially painless. Catheter was a bit of a hassle for 12 days. Urination after removing the catheter was initially a bit painful but progressively subsided to nothing in 2 weeks. After one month there were already very minimal remaining side effects that subsided within 2 months. I believe FLA is the best approach available today for many prostate cancer cases. One and a half years later, and no concerning scans or elevated PSA. Will always have to keep an eye on it. Dr. Karamanian follows up with a phone call after every MRI. I'm optimistic that the best work that I could have found was done.

For me, this was a great experience. I was on the high end of being a candidate for this procedure. Had my cancer been much worse, this procedure wouldn't have been available for me. I was greatful to have received this treatment. Done as out patient with very little pain or side effects. It's been over a year, and at this point I'm cancer free. I would recommend this procedure for anyone that's a candidate for it.

Dr. K and Donnie are an amazing team. They provided me with an excellent patient experience during my MRI Prostate Biopsy. Once the pathology report was ready, Dr. K called me personally to provide the results. I found this action so commendable and caring. MRI guided biopsy is the best way to go for a patient. This is the team you want to provide this service.

It has been 41/2 years since I had the FLA at Prostate Laser Center.I cannot be more pleased with the outcome and the professionalism of the staff starting with Dr K. I considered radiation,surgery and chemo.but once I researched FLA I decided it was a better and less risky procedure. I would recommend whole heartedly.
