Beacon Clinic is pleased to announce the welcome addition of Dr. Ian Udell to our staff. Dr. Udell is an experienced, compassionate urologist with expertise in minimally invasive robotic surgery, particularly for prostate, bladder, and kidney cancer. He also specializes in the advanced treatment of erectile dysfunction, low testosterone, BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or enlarged prostate), low testosterone, male urinary leakage, and infertility.
Dr. Udell grew up in Idaho and Montana before attending medical school in Texas. He did his urology residency at the University of North Carolina and has been practicing since 2015. He is certified by the American Board of Urology and has a particular interest in laparoscopic and robotic surgery, prostate and kidney cancer treatment, and cancer survivorship. Beacon Clinic’s history of providing comprehensive care and supportive services to cancer patients in the region makes Dr. Udell, with his unique emphasis on working with oncology patients, the perfect fit for our team.
For the first time in North Idaho, an entire roster of Board-Certified specialists in urologic cancers will be on the same team, working together at Beacon Clinic. Patients with prostate, kidney, bladder, ureteral, testicular, and other forms of urologic cancers can see their urologist, medical oncologist, and radiation oncologist within the same practice.
Along with the array of supportive services offered by Beacon Clinic, the coordination of different disciplines within one clinic will enhance the ability of our healthcare providers to optimize communication and collaboration. Beacon Clinic’s unique model represents a new vision of genuine multidisciplinary care that will deliver the highest quality service and an unmatched patient experience for our urologic cancer patients.
Urology: Specialized Care for Urinary and Reproductive Health
In addition to cancer care, Dr. Udell will provide top-tier urology services to non-cancer patients, calling on the expertise he has developed over years of practice and professional enrichment. Urology focuses on diagnosing and treating disorders affecting the urinary system, including the bladder, kidneys, ureters, and urethra. Additionally, it addresses conditions related to the reproductive organs and the adrenal glands, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the genitourinary systems.
Urology addresses a wide array of conditions, both common and rare, including chronic urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, hematuria (blood in the urine), painful bladder syndrome (interstitial cystitis), erectile dysfunction, kidney stones, pelvic organ prolapse, and congenital urinary tract anomalies. Patients who are experiencing symptoms such as difficulty with urination, erectile dysfunction, infertility, or other problems will be able to access care through Beacon Clinic’s urology practice.
Beacon Clinic continues to set the standard for helping patients manage every aspect of their care, particularly regarding health issues like cancer, rheumatic disorders, and other conditions that require long-term treatment or management. Coupled with Beacon’s recently announced partnership with OneOncology, the appointment of highly-qualified physicians like Dr. Udell to the staff makes Beacon Clinic an unrivaled leader in setting the standard of care for cancer patients in the Inland Northwest.
Beacon Clinic specializes in helping patients develop comprehensive care plans and is distinguished by its ability to offer its patients a variety of supportive services, from nutrition to financial counseling. Beacon Clinic is excited to welcome Dr. Udell and add urology to its broad spectrum of healthcare services. As it expands into additional fields, Beacon is poised to become the premier specialty healthcare service in North Idaho.
