Unio Specialty Care Urology in Whittier, CA is Welcoming New Patients!
Welcome to the West Coast division of Unio Specialty Services. We are an independent group of board certified urologists and advanced practice providers under the Unio umbrella. We have been providing advanced and state-of-the-art urologic care to our communities for more than 30 years. Drs Lawrence Paletz and Ernest Agatstein founded this group in 1990. Through the years, the practice has grown organically to extend its services through multiple offices and hospitals in the metropolitan Los Angeles area and north Orange County. Aside from the practice of medicine, we are active in leadership roles in our communities and hospitals, teaching, research and publishing in peer reviewed journals. Our offices are located in Inglewood, Downey, Whittier, and Los Alamitos.
Opened in 2021, our Whittier office continues our commitment to providing advanced urologic care in a modern and comfortable environment. Office walls are decorated with breathtaking city views and scenes from around the world, creating a warm and inviting environment. The office is conveniently situated on Whittier Boulevard and a short walk from Whittier Hospital Medical Center with plenty of validated parking nearby. At this location, we provide the full spectrum of urologic office procedures in addition to management of complex surgical treatments. The Whittier office is also home to our Advanced Kidney Stone Prevention and Management Clinic. We remain the only independent urology group in the city of Whittier.
