Peter Minich, MD, PhD, MAPP, is a board-certified urologist who brings over two decades of urologic expertise to the South Sound. His practice is focused on minimally invasive prostate and stone surgery. He was one of the first urologists to adapt plasma vaporization for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), now considered a gold standard for BPH therapy. Recently, he performed the first lithotripsy (shock waves) procedure using the Dornier Delta® III, a technological innovation in stone treatment. Dr. Minich prides himself on welcoming patients with a smile and an ease of communication as he brings hope and comfort to patients. Away from work, he enjoys hiking, climbing and snowboarding.
