Mitchell G Goldenberg

Dr. Goldenberg is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Urology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. He obtained his medical degree at St. George’s, University of London in London, England before completing his urology residency at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Canada. During residency, he participated in the Surgeon Scientist Training Program, completing a PhD in Surgical Education. His research focuses on the assessment of surgical skills and studying the role of artificial intelligence as a tool in medical education and patient safety. He completed a fellowship in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS) at the University of Southern California (USC). He specializes in the treatment of functional pelvic floor disorders in both men and women, including urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, urogenital fistula disease, fecal incontinence, a neurological disorders of the lower urinary tract. He is trained in many innovative surgical techniques, including robotic surgery and sacral neuromodulation. He is an active member of the American Urological Association (AUA), the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS), and the Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine & Urogenital Reconstruction (SUFU).
