Starting with a new urologist shouldn’t be a stressful occasion. We regularly have patients come to us that are first time urology patients, patients who have experienced an insurance change, and patients who have lost their urologic physician due to retirement or other life changes. Dr. Bankhead and his staff have designed treatment programs for patients that include “real life” solutions for health and wellness. Oklahoma Urology is the leader in complete urologic care and proudly serves Oklahoma City and Yukon – and welcomes patients from all over Oklahoma. As an all-inclusive practice, Oklahoma Urology is dedicated to providing comprehensive individualized treatment for all patients.
