David J Streitz, M.D.

For Dr. David Streitz, medicine runs in the family. His choice to pursue a career in urology was inspired by the example of his father, who was also a urologist. Dr. Streitz is a medical "native son" of Minnesota, since his undergraduate education, medical school and residency were all earned in the Twin Cities However, his research work took him to such far-flung locations as England and Kenya, and his professional presentations include not only U.S. locations but Scotland as well.?

Dr. Streitz knows that there are no 100% guarantees in the treatment of prostate cancer, but his goal is to provide therapies that are both safe and highly effective for his patients. Cryotherapy fits those two criteria. He says, "Cryo allows broader treatment applications for prostate cancer. It offers the advantage of a short convalescence, it's less irritating than radiation, and it's just as - or more - effective.

Besides his clinical interest in general urology, Dr. Streitz is particularly focused on cancer care and treatment. He has been practicing medicine since 1992, when he began a two-year residency in General Surgery, followed by four years in Urology. Dr. Streitz currently practices with Metro Urology.
