Dixon S. Woon is a urologist based in Melbourne, VIC. He works with people who have problems affecting the urinary tract and the male reproductive organs. That can include issues like prostate problems, bladder concerns, and cancers of the kidney, bladder, or testicles.
Urology can cover a wide range of conditions. In some cases, the focus is on cancer care and long-term follow-up. Dixon also looks after people dealing with kidney tumours such as renal cell carcinoma and renal oncocytoma. For men, prostate cancer is one of the key areas, along with testicular cancer and other conditions that affect how the testes develop and function.
Sometimes patients come in for treatment of non-cancer conditions as well. These may include blocked blood flow situations, like Budd-Chiari syndrome, and other problems that need careful assessment and planning. At times, people also need procedures to help with urinary function or to remove affected tissue when it’s the safest option.
His work can involve both diagnosis and treatment. That includes operations such as prostatectomy and cystectomy, where appropriate. He may also be involved in surgery for kidney tumours, including nephrectomy, and procedures related to the testicles. There are also times when thrombectomy is needed, depending on the situation and what the scans show.
He understands that these appointments can feel stressful. Cancer diagnoses, new symptoms, and decision-making about surgery can all bring a lot of questions. Dixon keeps things practical and clear, so patients know what’s happening and what the next steps usually look like. In many cases, that means explaining the options in plain language, and making sure care is matched to the person, not just the diagnosis.
In addition to adult care, urology also covers children and teens. Dixon works with cases like an undescended testicle, where timing and follow-up matter. For younger patients, the goal is often to reduce long-term risk and support normal development.
Dixon is located in Melbourne and provides urology care across a range of urinary and reproductive health issues. If you’re dealing with a new diagnosis, ongoing symptoms, or you need surgery planning, he can help guide the process from assessment through treatment.
