Russ Williams-Chess is a urologist based on the Gold Coast, QLD. He works with people who have bladder and prostate issues, and also helps with problems that come from the male urinary system.
In day to day care, you might see him for symptoms like frequent or urgent urination. Some people come in because they feel like they can’t hold on, while others are dealing with ongoing discomfort. At times, this can come with acute pain, especially when things flare up suddenly.
Russ also looks after men with an enlarged prostate (BPH). This is a common cause of weak urine flow, getting up at night, and feeling like you still need to pass urine even after you’ve been to the toilet. He can help people sort out what’s going on and talk through practical next steps.
For some patients, the issue is more than just a one-off infection. Conditions like interstitial cystitis can cause bladder pain and frequent urges to pee. It can be frustrating and tiring, so care often focuses on easing symptoms and making daily life feel more manageable again.
Russ can also be involved in care around prostate cancer. This can be a worrying time, and appointments often focus on understanding results, planning treatment options, and supporting recovery where needed.
There are also other, less common conditions he treats, including Ochoa syndrome. Each case can look different, so treatment plans need to be tailored to the person.
On top of this, he may be part of surgical care such as orchiectomy, depending on the patient’s diagnosis and situation. For some people, discussions may also cover urinary control issues, including stress urinary incontinence and broader urinary incontinence. These are more common than many people realise, and they can affect confidence and comfort.
Russ works in a calm and down to earth way. People usually want clear answers and a plan they can follow. He focuses on listening first, then explaining options in everyday language, without rushing.
While specific education details aren’t listed here, his clinical training and work in urology guide how he treats bladder, prostate, and male urinary health concerns. If you’re looking for a urologist on the Gold Coast, Russ is there to help with both urgent symptoms and longer term conditions.
