What Is a Urologist?
A urologist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis, medical treatment, and surgical procedures relating to the kidneys, bladder, adrenal glands, and genitourinary system. Among the specialized areas with which urologists deal are infertility, prostate, incontinence, impotence, kidney stones, cancer treatment, trauma to the urinary system, and pediatric care. As with other medical specialties, urology requires study and training beyond the standard medical school and internship years. Indeed, because of so many remarkable advances in recent years in diagnosis, treatment, and surgical procedures, it is vital that today's urologist be committed to a process of continuing education.
Appointments
A receptionist is available at our office from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, except holidays. For problems requiring same day attention, please call the receptionist as early in the morning as possible. You are encouraged to describe the nature of the problem to the receptionist so that she may schedule an appointment convenient for you and one that will permit the doctor adequate time to treat you properly.
Please notify the receptionist at least 24 hour in advance if you are unable to keep an appointment. This will enable another patient to use the appointment time, a courtesy you may appreciate yourself in the future. We will reschedule your appointment for a time convenient for you.
Insurance
Providence North Coast Clinic accepts most major insurance carriers, Medicare and Medicaid. Current insurance information and co-pay are required at the time of service. If your insurance requires prior authorization on surgery, please be sure to let us know.

Dr. Zobell enjoys many aspects of his job but they all share a common outcome: improving the everyday lives of his patients.
"Urology is a medical specialty that involves medicine and surgery. I enjoy the mix of patients: young and old, male and female. It is interesting to treat cancer, incontinence, fertility, and urination problems all in thesame day"
