Dr. Aaron Scott Dahmen, MD

Dr. Aaron Dahmen earned his bachelor's degree from Middle Tennessee State University before completing his medical education at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, graduating with high honors. He then completed his internship and residency training at the University of South Florida before completing a fellowship in urologic oncology at the University of Chicago. Dr. Dahmen's practice focuses on the surgical treatment of all genitourinary malignancies. He has extensive training in both minimally invasive and open approaches for the treatment of bladder, prostate, kidney, testicular, and penile cancers. Additionally, he specializes in robotic and laparoscopic surgery for benign urologic diseases. His research interests lie in identifying and improving the outcomes of oncology patients and participating in clinical trials to advance the study of how we treat cancer and can individualize patient care to ensure the best outcomes from both an oncologic and …quality of life standpoint. Dr. Dahmen's approach to patient care, whether in the general or oncology clinic, is the same: individualize the approach to care that best fits the patient. It is rare for there to be a single approach to any issue based on any number of factors, emphasizing the need for both the patient and provider to understand what options are on the table as well as the expectations of each to ensure the best possible outcome. In doing so, Dr. Dahmen wants every patient to leave his office with a thorough understanding of the issue that brings them to see him so that a decision can be made as a team with regards to how to proceed, and particularly when surgical care is indicated and appropriate.
