More about Dr. Joel Slutsky, MD
Dr. Slutsky feels one of the biggest medical challenges facing senior citizens today is urinary incontinence. He has been active in treating the various causes of the disease, utilizing either medical management, or the latest techniques in surgical and reconstructive repairs. "Women especially are suffering through the embarrassment of incontinence, primarily for lack of knowing where to seek help, and sometimes wondering if help exists at all," states Dr. Slutsky, who also serves as an Assistant Professor of Urology at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, where he has taught residents in incontinence surgery, and where he himself was trained. Residents from Rush University Medical Center Urology Program are under his direction for robotic and laparascopic surgery training.
Dr. Slutsky has been serving the Kankakee and surrounding communities since 1980, and was the first physician to offer the area electro-hydraulic shock-wave therapy for kidney stones, thereby reducing the need for surgery. Dr. Slutsky also introduced laser prostate surgery, laparoscopy for prostate cancer and a host of new and innovative prostate treatments.
