Your doctor

Talk about your health in your own language

When the subject is your prostate, your bladder or your sexual health, details matter. In your own language it is easier to describe symptoms precisely, ask the awkward questions and understand how the treatment options differ. That is why we can care for you in Spanish at every step of the visit.

Dr. Joseph Motta

Urologist certified by the American Board of Urology, with his medical degree from Georgetown University. He covers general urology: kidney stones, urinary tract infections, bladder problems, and men's and women's urology.

Minimally invasive treatment

In the same team, Dr. David Shusterman leads the prostate artery embolization program (more than 1,000 procedures since 2021) and offers UroLift and Rezūm, with Spanish-speaking staff at your side.

Frequently asked questions

Does the doctor speak Spanish?

Yes. Dr. Joseph Motta speaks Spanish, and so do our front desk and medical assistants.

What are the options for an enlarged prostate without traditional surgery?

Medication, UroLift, Rezūm and prostate artery embolization (PAE). The right choice depends on the size and shape of the prostate, your symptoms and your preferences; the urologist will explain the pros and cons of each.

What should I bring to the first visit?

A list of your medications, previous test results and imaging if you have them, and your questions. For urinary symptoms it helps to note when they happen and how much they bother you.

When do I need urgent care?

If you suddenly cannot urinate, or have a high fever with severe pain or other serious symptoms, seek emergency care rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
