Not currently accepting patients

No ratings to display.

Why aren't there any ratings?

There is no publicly available rating for this care provider for one of three reasons:

  1. They do not see patients.
  2. They see patients but have not yet received the minimum number of patient experience reviews. To be eligible for display, we require a minimum of 30 surveys. This ensures that the rating is statistically reliable and an accurate reflection of patient experience.
  3. They see patients but do not see enough patients to collect a statistically-reliable patient experience rating.

About me

Dr. Conlin specializes in minimally invasive urology, surgical and medical treatment of patients with kidney stones, and laparoscopic urology.  Dr. Conlin enjoys practicing urology at OHSU where research and resident education contribute to a setting conducive to excellence in patient care. "My goal is to provide expert and compassionate care to patients with complicated urologic problems," he said. Dr. Conlin received his medical degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center in 1989. He completed his urology residency at Oregon Health & Science University and his endourology fellowship at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia.

Dr. Conlin specializes in the minimally invasive treatment of patients with urologic problems such as urolithiasis, UPJ obstruction, transitional cell carcinoma of the ureter and renal pelvis, and kidney cancer. He is a recognized expert, innovator, and teacher of minimally invasive procedures including laparoscopic nephrectomy, laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, laparoscopic pyeloplasty, ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy, ureteroscopic ablation of upper tract tumors, ureteroscopic endopyelotomy, and percutaneous nephrostolithotomy. He also provides evaluation and management of men with voiding difficulties, including minimally invasive treatments such as photovaprorization of the prostate (PVP), and transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) with the Prolieve device.
