Dr. Lawrence Baum Recognized as a GreenLight™ Laser Therapy Center of Excellence
Dr. Lawrence Baum has been honored with the designation of Center of Excellence for GreenLight™ Laser Therapy. This minimally invasive outpatient procedure treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) at its source, rather than merely addressing its symptoms.
GreenLight Laser Therapy provides rapid relief from common BPH-related issues, including frequent nighttime urination, weak urine flow, urgency, and incomplete bladder emptying. The procedure requires no incisions and generally preserves sexual function, offering an effective, long-lasting solution for men seeking to avoid the side effects of medication or the risks of invasive surgery.
The Center of Excellence recognition reflects Dr. Baum’s extensive experience with GreenLight Laser Therapy and his commitment to delivering high-quality, results-driven care to men living with BPH.
Understanding BPH
BPH occurs when the prostate enlarges and compresses the urethra, leading to symptoms such as frequent or urgent urination, interrupted urine flow, and the need to wake multiple times during the night to urinate. This condition affects approximately half of men by age 60 and up to 90% by age 85.
“Being designated as a GreenLight Center of Excellence is a meaningful recognition for our practice,” said Dr. Baum. “For years, BPH treatment options were limited to lifestyle changes, medications, or surgery. Unfortunately, medications don’t work for everyone and can cause undesirable side effects, including dizziness, sexual dysfunction, and decreased libido. GreenLight Therapy allows us to provide effective relief for men who prefer to avoid long-term medications, invasive surgery, or implants.”
How GreenLight Laser Therapy Works
This innovative procedure uses targeted laser energy to vaporize excess prostate tissue, creating a clear channel for urine to pass through the urethra. Patients typically notice an immediate improvement in urinary flow, with the added benefit that the treatment usually has no negative impact on sexual function. GreenLight Laser Therapy offers a long-term solution for BPH, helping men reclaim comfort and quality of life without the need for ongoing drug therapy.
