Brief Intro

Joph Steckel, M.D. is a board certified, urologic oncologist specializing in bladder, kidney, prostate and testicular cancers and is involved with the screening of men with benign prostatic hyperplasia for prostate cancer. Dr. Steckel has a clinical interest in bladder reconstructions for those patients requiring bladder removal for cancer as well as kidney sparing surgery for patients with kidney cancer. Dr. Steckel is one of only two urologists on Long Island--both at the Arthur Smith Institute for Urology--with expertise in performing robotic cystectomies for the treatment of bladder cancer. He has performed more than 1,500 radical prostatectomies and has experience in renal conservation surgery, which helps preserve the kidney while simultaneously removing cancerous tumors. Additionally, Dr. Steckel is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and has served on the board of the New York State Society of Urology. He has been a district representative to the New York section of the American Urologic Association (AUA) and has served as a New York section representative to Young Leaders in Urology, a select group of national urologists serving the AUA. He is the author of numerous chapters, articles and abstracts in urology literature and lectures on urologic malignancies. In 2006, Dr. Steckel was honored by the Long Island Chapter of the American Cancer Society, as the recipient of the Physician of Distinction Award.
