FARMINGTON – Dr. Jay Naliboff, Franklin Memorial Hospital’s vice president medical affairs, is pleased to announce that Richard Batstone, MD, has rejoined the medical staff of Franklin Health Urology effective October 1. Dr. Batstone is a urologist and surgeon who has been in private practice since in Farmington since 2011.
“This change will help stabilize access to urology services for our community and allow our patients to receive the same high quality urologic care that Dr. Batstone and his physician assistant, Isaac Ball, has provided for several years,” stated Naliboff. “The practice will remain at 126 Middle Street in Farmington and there will be no interruption of services.”
Dr. Batstone is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in Urology, a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeon of Canada in Urology. He received his medical degree at Cambridge University in England. Before his advanced training in urology, his training also included orthopedics, neurosurgery, emergency care, general surgery and research on the Immunology of prostatitis at the University of Cambridge, culminating in a Medical PhD degree.
Franklin Health Urology offers treatment for a full range of urological disorders and conditions for men, women, and children, including: urology surgery; prostate and bladder cancer treatment; vasectomy reversal; and treatment of male infertility, urinary incontinence, prostate disease, and kidney stones- using day-case flexible ureteroscopy especially for even very large renal stones (instead of normal more invasive surgery).
The practice additionally offers a hospital-based gold standard minimally invasive surgical procedure called holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), which uses a high-power laser to remove obstructive tissue from the small to even the massively enlarged prostate as an outpatient day-case surgery. For patients, the recovery period is very short and the re-operation rate is virtually non-existent compared to other traditional prostate surgical methods: TURP and GreenLight laser ablation.
Franklin Health Urology is located at 126 Middle Street in Farmington. Franklin Urology is open Monday through Friday, from 7.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. To schedule an appointment, call 779-1977.
