A Minimally Invasive Solution for an Enlarged Prostate

An enlarged prostate, also called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), can slow your urine stream, keep you from fully emptying your bladder, and wake you up throughout the night. Dr. Herrera now offers holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), a minimally invasive procedure that removes the tissue blocking urine flow.

  • No external incisions
  • Performed by a board-certified urologist
  • A fraction of what you’d expect to pay in the U.S.

Your procedure takes place in the NewCity Medical Plaza Building in Tijuana’s Zona Rio, about a mile south of San Diego, without the long waitlists many patients face at home.

Our facility has the most advanced technology and accommodations to keep all patients and their families comfortable, relaxed, and happy.
