Urology Associates is happy to welcome Dr. Mit Shah to our Littleton and Lone Tree offices.
Dr. Shah cares for all general urological needs and specializes in robotic minimally invasive surgery for the prostate, ureters, and kidneys, reconstructive surgeries including urethral stricture disease, endoscopic management of enlarged prostate including Aquablation, Urolift, and Rezum, vasectomies, and endoscopic management of kidney stones. During his residency, he was focused on research around survivorship following prostate cancer and is experienced in assessing and treating the issues that sometimes arise following treatment for prostate cancer such as erectile dysfunction or incontinence.
Dr. Mit Shah grew up in Chicago and attended college at the University of Illinois in Chicago where he graduated Summa Cum Laude with his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. From there, he went to the Ohio State University College of Medicine where he received his medical degree. He completed his general surgery internship and urology residency and was elected the chief resident in his program at Beaumont Hospital in Detroit, Michigan.
Dr. Shah’s journey to a career in medicine started when he was young. He joined a combined BA/MD program right out of high school. Once in medical school, he was drawn to urology as a specialty. He enjoyed the challenge of working with sensitive patient problems and making the patient feel comfortable addressing them. Most importantly, he was motivated by patient results where short surgical procedures could make a world of difference in the life of a patient. Often these procedures restore a patient’s lifestyle and give them their life back.
He believes in a patient-centered approach to medical decision making. He spends time with each patient to give them all the information on their condition and the treatment options available to them.
He likes to make the information easy to digest and understand, and will make recommendations for treatment, however, the individual care plan is ultimately designed around each patient’s unique lifestyle and their goals.
