Dr. Pratik M. Gurung MD
Dr. Pratik M. Gurung is a urologist and robotic surgeon based in Victor, New York, with one of the more international training pedigrees in the field. He specializes in minimally invasive and robotic surgery for cancers of the kidney, prostate, and bladder, in laser and endoscopic treatment of kidney stones, and in men’s health — bringing a surgeon’s precision to some of urology’s most technically demanding operations.
He earned both his medical degree (MBBS) and a PhD from University College London, where his doctoral research, supported by national funding from the British Urological Foundation, focused on bladder cancer. After completing the United Kingdom’s rigorous higher surgical training in urology and earning Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS) and the European Board of Urology (FEBU), he was selected as one of a small group of international surgeons for the two-year robotic surgery fellowship at the University of Rochester Medical Center, accredited by the Endourological Society and matched through the American Urological Association.
His fascination with robotic surgery dates back to watching a surgical robot operate at a conference years before the technology became widespread — and he has since performed hundreds of robotic procedures. His clinical work centers on uro-oncology and advanced technique, from open and laparoscopic to robotic approaches for complex cancer surgery, and he has built a substantial research record, including studies on prostate cancer and on surgical simulation and training.
For all the technical credentials, patients and colleagues tend to mention something simpler: he is, by reputation, remarkably patient and a genuinely attentive listener. That combination — serious surgical expertise paired with the willingness to slow down and explain — is exactly what tends to reassure someone facing a major operation.
