Maimonides Health now offers advanced urology and urogynecology services in central Brooklyn, addressing long-standing gaps in access and bringing highly specialized care closer to where patients live and work. With Jubin Matloubieh, MD, now the first and only fellowship-trained reconstructive urologist in Brooklyn, and Arshia Sandozi, DO, MPH, the system’s newest general urologist, Brooklyn patients gain access to expertise that previously required travel outside the borough. 

“Brooklyn lacked fellowship-trained reconstructive urologists before this expansion,” Dr. Matloubieh says. “Patients want high-quality care near where they live. Now we can offer that for a population of more than two million people.”

Both physicians practice at Maimonides Doctors Clinton Hill Pavilion, a multispecialty site built to reduce delays, streamline referrals, and strengthen access to urology, urogynecology, and related coordinated surgical care in Brooklyn. 

Treating Complex and Comorbid Conditions 

Many patients arrive with overlapping factors that cross multiple systems—hormonal shifts, metabolic disease, cardiovascular risk, cancer treatment effects, pelvic floor concerns, or neurologic conditions that alter bladder or sexual function. 

“At Maimonides, all aspects of health intersect with urinary and sexual health,” Dr. Matloubieh says. “I receive referrals from endocrinology, primary care, oncology and hematology, neurology, cardiology, colorectal surgery, and gynecology because these systems are tied together.” 

Dr. Matloubieh’s practice includes: 

• Erectile dysfunction linked to cardiovascular disease or endocrine disorders
• Incontinence influenced by metabolic, endocrine, or obesity-related factors
• Post-cancer treatment urinary and sexual dysfunction 
• Pelvic issues requiring joint evaluation with gynecology or colorectal surgery 
• Bladder and sexual dysfunction shaped by neurologic disease or long-standing diabetes 
• Urinary tract obstruction such as urethra or ureters 

 

Referrals move quickly within Maimonides. “I have sent patients to my colleagues just down the hall who can see them during the same visit,” he says. “It prevents delays that usually slow evaluation. Direct conversations replace fax exchanges, and patients walk away with a cohesive plan instead of multiple disconnected steps.”  

Maimonides Doctors Clinton Hill Pavilion in Central Brooklyn 

Maimonides Doctors Clinton Hill Pavilion gives central Brooklyn a multispecialty center that did not exist before. Patients can find primary care, women’s health, multispecialty surgery, and urology side by side in a single location, improving coordination for conditions that cross multiple specialties. 

For urologic care, this shift carries real clinical value. “People do not want to travel far for sensitive issues,” Dr. Matloubieh says. “Clinton Hill Pavilion fills that gap with high-quality specialty care closer to home.”

Maimonides Doctors Clinton Hill Pavilion strengthens: 

• Diagnostic access, including office ultrasound—a capability Dr. Matloubieh established after noting that many evaluations were not previously available in Brooklyn  
• Referral pathways for patients with abnormal imaging, metabolic or hormonal concerns, pelvic symptoms, or post-cancer treatment issues  
• Continuity of care between urology, urogynecology, pelvic floor health, OB/GYN, primary care, endocrinology, neurology, cardiology, and colorectal surgery 
• Convenience for patients who previously traveled to Queens, Staten Island, Manhattan, Long Island, or New Jersey for reconstructive urologic expertise 
• Surgical-ready suites that support clinical evaluation and procedural planning in a single location 

 

Both physicians also practice at Maimonides Prostate Center and within Maimonides  Women’s Pelvic Floor Center, extending access across the borough while keeping Clinton Hill the central hub for early evaluation and multidisciplinary consults. 

“Everything becomes easier for patients when specialists share a space,” Dr. Matloubieh says. “It removes the fragmentation that often complicates urologic care.” 

Diagnostic Tools That Support Early Recognition 

Evaluation begins with the fundamentals. “The simplest tools—history, physical exam, and blood pressure checks—still tell us a lot,” Dr. Matloubieh notes. “But advanced imaging and real-time diagnostics help us identify issues early and direct patients to the right treatment pathway.” 

Current diagnostic capabilities include: 

• Cystoscopy and bladder evaluation 
• Hormonal evaluation 
• Imaging reviews for kidney stones and structural abnormalities 
• Office ultrasound 
• Urodynamics and functional testing 

Early identification plays a critical role, particularly when ED signals cardiovascular risk, infections reflect metabolic imbalance, or incidental imaging uncovers functional disease that warrants specialty input. 

Functional and Reconstructive Urology  

Dr. Matloubieh brings reconstructive and functional skills that were not widely available in Brooklyn until now. His work includes: 

• Abdominal, robotic, and genital reconstruction 
• Complex pelvic reconstruction 
• Evaluation and treatment of erectile dysfunction and low testosterone 
• Management of catheter dependence 
• Repair of urinary tract obstructions and blockages 
• Restoration of function after cancer treatment 
• Surgical solutions for incontinence in both men and women 

 

“One of my greatest joys is removing the need for a catheter or tube,” he says. “When patients regain function after years of limitation, it changes their daily life.” 

The men’s health component also plays a crucial role. “Erectile dysfunction often serves as the first sign of cardiovascular disease,” he says. “Many individuals see a urologist before they ever meet a cardiologist. We normalize sensitive conversations and help patients enter care.” 

General Urology and First-Line Clinical Access 

As the system’s newest general urologist, Dr. Sandozi serves as the initial point of evaluation for patients with urologic concerns. Her practice focuses on early diagnosis, targeted evaluation, longitudinal care for patients with chronic or recurrent urologic conditions, and streamlined direction for conditions that require subspecialty urologic expertise. 

Her work includes: 

• Assessment of kidney stones 
• Voiding problems, including urinary incontinence and urinary retention 
• Early identification of issues that benefit from subspecialty referral (endourology, pelvic floor, reconstructive, men’s health) 
• Evaluation of hematuria and other bleeding concerns 
• Initial evaluation of pelvic or urinary symptoms not fully addressed in primary care or OB/GYN 
• Management of recurrent urinary infections 
• Review and interpretation of abnormal imaging findings 
• Support for gynecologic-adjacent concerns that require urologic expertise 
• Diagnostic clarification for patients unsure which urology subspecialty care they need 

 

Her training in public health strengthens an academic lens on access, policy, and system performance, including health disparities, gender equity, and patient-centered outcomes in urology.  

“I continue to lead research on health policy because access and equity shape outcomes,” she says. “Bringing a public health lens to urology care is so critical because it is an area of medicine shaped by the impact of health disparities and social determinants of health. Conditions like urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and infertility can often carry stigma, and patients may be discouraged or excluded from seeking treatment for many reasons. So it’s an important part of my practice to normalize and promote positive outcomes for urologic health at both the patient and public health levels.” 

Dr. Sandozi’s role enhances collaboration across the system by giving community clinicians a clear, timely point of contact for patients who need early evaluation. Referring providers gain a partner who clarifies the diagnosis, provides care for various urologic conditions like incontinence, overactive bladder, kidney stones, and more, and guides patients toward the right subspecialty pathway without delay when needed. 

Urogynecology and Pelvic Health Collaboration 

Both physicians collaborate closely with Maimonides Women’s Pelvic Floor Center, where many patients require joint evaluation across urology, OB/GYN, and pelvic surgery. The center offers a supportive environment designed for privacy and comfort. 

Typical cases include: 

• Pelvic organ prolapse 
• Urinary incontinence 
• Pelvic pain 
• Post-surgical complications 
• Complex anatomic issues involving both urinary and gynecologic systems 

 

Multidisciplinary surgery—often involving colorectal or abdominal surgeons—reflects the cross-system nature of functional urology and pelvic health.  

Guidance for Referring Providers 

Refer a patient when urinary or sexual symptoms signal the need for specialty care, including: 

• Erectile dysfunction 
• Urinary incontinence or prolapse 
• Catheter or tube dependence 
• Post-cancer sexual and bladder dysfunction 
• Urinary obstruction, retention, hydronephrosis, or abnormal imaging 
• Penile curvature 
• Pelvic organ prolapse 
• Kidney stones, hematuria, or recurrent infections 
• Hormonal concerns, such as low testosterone 
• Bladder or sexual dysfunction tied to neurologic, metabolic, or cardiovascular conditions

 

Early referral supports faster diagnosis and reduces the risk of long-term complications. 

Advancing Through Clinical Innovation 

Maimonides’ urology program continues to grow in depth and capability. “We are not stagnant,” Dr. Sandozi says. “Our physicians and surgeons adopt new techniques, refine procedures, and raise the level of care every year.”  

Patients now travel from other boroughs and states for the collaborative culture, personalized environment, and access to the integrated model of Maimonides Doctors Clinton Hill Pavilion urology and pelvic care.  

“Patients feel the difference when a system values service,” Dr. Matloubieh says. “From check-in to surgery, the experience matters, and that is why they choose us and referring providers trust us.”
