Congratulations to Dr. Robert Pugach, founder and Medical Director of Pacific Coast Urology Medical Center in Orange County for being selected as one of America’s Top Physicians for  2009. Since 2004, Dr. Pugach has been honored with this prestigious award. Each year doctors are selected as Consumers' Research Council of America Top Physicians based on their continuing dedication and outstanding work they have accomplished throughout their career. Consumers’ Research Council of America compiles a list of Physicians throughout the United States by utilizing a point value system in determining top health care professionals. The point system includes professional qualifications: education, residency, board certification, fellowships; professional reputation, memberships in professional associations and experience.

Dr. Pugach has been serving patients for the past 19 years and he is an expert in minimally invasive urologic procedures. Dr. Pugach attended New Jersey College of Medicine and Dentistry, M.D. and Albert Einstein College of Medicine where he completed his urology residency. He also completed his general surgery residency at New York University-Booth Memorial Medical Center.

Dr. Pugach continues his extensive education and training with urologists and urological companies throughout the world. He has expertise in a comprehensive array of medical and surgical treatments of urological problems, including minimally invasive treatments for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), male incontinence and female incontinence and prostate cancer.

Dr. Pugach has helped hundreds of men and women from across the United States and even Japan improve the quality of their life with his advanced treatment of BPH, female incontinence and prostate cancer.
In April 2006, Dr. Pugach completed his training for a revolutionary new procedure, High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment for prostate cancer patients. This remarkable, non-invasive technology allows precision heating of the prostate to cure cancer without the complications of erectile dysfunction or urinary incontinence. Also, as of this month Dr. Pugach is the only West Coast physician using the new Cool Wave Microwave therapy for the treatment of BPH.

“I am very honored once again to have been selected as America’s Top Doctor,” states Dr. Pugach. “I am pleased that I am able to help so many patients be able to lead healthy, active lifestyles. I appreciate the fact that my peers and associates feel that I am worthy of this award.”
