Our Surgical Philosophy

The Prestige surgical difference

Three principles guide every surgical case we accept — from patient selection through recovery.

Right procedure, right patient

Not every symptom needs surgery. We work through non-surgical options first when they make clinical sense — and recommend the least invasive effective approach.

Advanced technology

From da Vinci robotic systems to Aquablation, laser lithotripsy, and prosthetic devices — we invest in the technologies that produce better outcomes with less recovery.

Personalized care

You’ll be cared for by the same surgeon from consultation through follow-up — not a rotating team. Continuity, communication, and dignity throughout.

Who performs surgery at Prestige Medical Group?
Surgeries at Prestige are performed by our two board-certified surgeons: Dr. Lamia Gabal, MD, FPMRS — specializing in female urology, pelvic reconstruction, and incontinence surgery — and Dr. Hari Sawkar, MD — specializing in robotic urologic oncology, prosthetic surgery, minimally invasive stone treatment, and male sexual health. Their complementary specialties allow us to offer the full range of urologic surgical care under one roof.
How do I know which surgeon I’ll see?
Our team matches you with the surgeon whose specialty is the best fit for your condition. For example, female pelvic prolapse patients typically see Dr. Gabal (FPMRS), while men considering a penile implant or Aquablation would see Dr. Sawkar. When scheduling, you can also request a specific surgeon if you have a preference.
Where will my surgery be performed?
Surgical location depends on the procedure. Office-based procedures like UroLift, no-scalpel vasectomy, and Bulkamid are performed in our Tustin or Santa Ana office. Major surgical procedures including robotic surgery, PCNL, penile implants, artificial urinary sphincter, and pelvic reconstruction are performed at one of our affiliated Orange County hospitals — most commonly Providence St. Joseph Hospital, Hoag Hospital, or a partnering surgery center.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We accept most major insurance plans and Medicare for medically necessary urologic surgery. Coverage varies by plan and procedure — some elective and aesthetic procedures are self-pay only. Our team helps verify your specific benefits during the consultation process.
How long is the wait for surgery?
Wait times vary by procedure complexity and hospital scheduling. Most consultations can be scheduled within 1-2 weeks, and elective surgeries typically follow within a few weeks after the consultation and pre-operative workup. Urgent cases (such as stone-related infection or urinary retention) are prioritized and can often be addressed same-day or next-day.
Will the same surgeon follow me through recovery?
Yes. Continuity of care is central to our practice. The surgeon who performed your procedure will personally see you through your post-operative recovery, follow-up visits, and any concerns that arise. You won’t be handed off to a covering physician for routine follow-up.
What if I need multiple procedures?
Some patients need multiple related procedures — for example, a man with post-prostatectomy incontinence and ED may need both an artificial urinary sphincter and a penile implant. Dr. Sawkar and our team plan these carefully, often staging the procedures for optimal recovery and outcomes.
What if I’ve had prior urologic surgery elsewhere?
We routinely care for patients who have had prior urologic surgery at other institutions — whether for continued care, complication management, or revision procedures. Please bring records from your prior care to your consultation. We are also happy to coordinate directly with your previous provider when appropriate.
