Board Certified in Urology
Dr. Grubb specializes in urologic cancer surgery. His areas of specialty include prostate cancer and kidney cancer, both localized and metastatic. Additionally, he is experienced at managing patients with hereditary kidney cancer syndromes such as Von Hippel-Lindau and Birt-Hogg-Dubé. Dr. Grubb performs both open and laparoscopic surgeries. He is interested in prostate cancer imaging, using MRI. Other areas of interest include bladder cancer, testicular cancer, penile cancer and adrenal disorders such as pheochromocytoma and aldosteronoma, elevated PSA and blood in the urine.
