Jeremy R. Goad is a urologist working at St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne in Fitzroy, VIC. Urology covers health problems that affect the bladder, kidneys, prostate, and male reproductive organs. It can also include urgent issues like painful swelling or blocked urine flow, where timely care really matters.
In day-to-day work, Jeremy looks after people with conditions that need both careful assessment and clear treatment plans. This includes prostate problems such as prostate cancer, and cases linked to familial prostate cancer risk. He also treats cancers of the urinary system, including bladder and urothelial cancers, as well as kidney-related cancers like renal cell carcinoma. For men’s health, he manages issues that involve the testes, including testicular cancer and related conditions.
Kidney health is another big part of the role. That can mean chronic kidney disease, as well as problems caused by stones. When appropriate, treatment may include procedures such as lithotripsy, which helps break up certain types of stones so they can pass more easily.
Surgery is often part of the care plan. Jeremy works with procedures such as prostatectomy, cystectomy, and nephrectomy, depending on the diagnosis and how far a condition has progressed. At times, other operations may be needed too, including orchiectomy for testicular conditions. The aim is to match the right treatment to the person, while keeping things practical and focused on quality of life.
Some urology problems are not always about cancer. Over time, Jeremy also sees complex and less common conditions where bladder and bowel function can be affected, like intestinal pseudo-obstruction and Ogilvie syndrome. He may also treat urgent presentations such as priapism, where speed and good support are important. These cases can be stressful, so the approach is usually calm, straight-forward, and based on what needs to happen next.
Education details and specific research work are not listed here. What is clear is that care is delivered in a hospital setting, with access to a wider team when that helps. There are also a range of referral pathways in the urology space, so patients may come from general practice, other specialists, or through hospital clinics.
