Dr. Rogerio Huang, MD

Dr. Rogerio Huang, MD is a fellowship trained urologist at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, Washington. He has expertise in both male and female patients with urologic concerns and has a special focus on robotic surgery.Dr. Huang graduated college at the University of Michigan with highest distinction and honors in Neuroscience. He went on to complete medical school at the University at Buffalo, Jacobs School of Medicine. He received numerous awards including Dean’s Letter of Commendation and was inducted into the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha society. He graduated at the top of his class with magna cum laude honors.Dr. Huang moved to New York for his residency training. He completed a rigorous internship in general surgery at Westchester Medical Center followed by urology residency throughout large tertiary care hospitals across the New York metropolitan area. His training spanned the whole breadth of urology including oncology, robotics, BPH, kidney stones, voiding dysfunction, infertility, trauma, female urology and pediatric urology. During his residency training, he presented at many national meetings including the American Urologic Association and won many competitions including the New York AUA Section Annual Resident Essay Contest and the New York AUA Section Michael J. Droller Chief Resident Debate.He then moved to the Seattle, Washington and further sub-specialized into robotic urologic surgery. He trained at Swedish Medical Center with Dr. James Porter, one of the preeminent robotic surgeons in the world. He received one-on-one mentorship and honed his robotic surgery skills during his fellowship. He was then asked to join the practice along with his former co-resident Dr. Akhil Saji. Together, they have been providing world class urology care using the latest and most up-to-date techniques in robotic surgery.Dr. Huang’s special interests include robotic prostatectomy for prostate cancer and BPH, partial and radical nephrectomy for kidney cancer, nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma as well as reconstructive procedures including pyeloplasty, ureteroureterostomy and ureteral reimplant. He is also uniquely experienced in using the newest generation single port robot, a new miniature robot that allows the entire operation to be performed through one single 1.5 inch incision.Dr. Huang takes pride in treating all patients as if they were his own family members. He listens closely to patients and personalizes their care unique to their specific needs.

Dr. Akhil Saji, MD

Dr. Saji is a fellowship-trained urologist at the Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, Washington. He treats both male and female patients with a spectrum of urologic concerns. Dr. Saji’s fellowship focus is on robotic surgery and urologic oncology including kidney cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, and other genitourinary malignancies. Dr. Saji also has expertise in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH/enlarged prostates) and kidney stones.Dr. Saji graduated from Boston University with a bachelor’s degree with honors in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. He subsequently completed medical school at New York Medical College and residency at New York Medical College affiliated with Westchester Medical Center, New York Health and Hospitals System, and Hackensack University Medical Center. After completion of residency training, Dr. Saji completed a fellowship in robotic urologic oncology at Keck Hospital of the University of Southern California (USC) with world-renowned Dr. Indirbir Gill, Monish Aron, Mihir Desai, Hooman Djaladat and other faculty members.Throughout his urology training, Dr. Saji cared for patients across many hospitals in both New York and Southern California gaining widespread expertise in the whole spectrum of urologic care ranging from oncology, robotic surgery, BPH, kidney stones, urologic trauma, female urology, and pediatric urology. Furthermore, he has presented at numerous urology conferences including the American Urological Association (AUA) national conference, the NARUS (North American Robotic Urology Symposium) conference, the World Congress of Endourology (WCET) conference, and many others. From these presentations, he has published over 13 abstracts and 10 peer-reviewed publications on various urologic conditions.After training, Dr. Saji began working at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, after being recruited by the world-renowned robotic surgeon Dr. James Porter and his former co-resident and friend Dr. Rogerio Huang.Dr. Saji’s interests include continually seeking to advance minimally invasive surgery and improving treatment outcomes for both benign and cancerous urologic conditions. Dr. Saji specializes in several robotic surgeries that may be used to treat your conditions. These include but are not limited to robotic partial nephrectomy for kidney cancer, robotic nerve-sparing prostatectomy for prostate cancer, robotic simple prostatectomy for enlarged prostates, and robotic radical cystectomy with urinary diversion for bladder cancer. Dr. Saji also has specialized training in the da Vinci single port robotics platform where entire operations can be performed through one single 1.5 inch incision facilitating decreased pain and faster recovery after surgery. Other areas of expertise include aquablation for BPH, focal therapy treatment for prostate cancer, and MRI plus ultrasound fusion prostate biopsies.Dr. Saji enjoys speaking with patients and their families about the urologic conditions affecting their health and will work extensively with you to find the right treatment modalities to facilitate a longer and healthier life.
