What Orange County Urology Associates does

Orange County Urology Associates (OCUA) is a physician-owned private urology practice founded in the 1960s and headquartered in Laguna Hills, California, with four offices in Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, Huntington Beach, and Irvine. The practice employs 11 board-certified urologists (101–250 total staff) and operates under the leadership of CEO Dr. Moses Kim, M.D., Ph.D., who also serves as Chair of Urology at Hoag Hospital and team urologist for the NFL's Los Angeles Chargers. OCUA delivers male, female, and pediatric urology care across the full condition spectrum including bladder cancer, kidney cancer, prostate cancer, BPH, kidney stones, male infertility, erectile dysfunction, and urinary incontinence.

OCUA's core technology portfolio is built on advanced third-party medical devices rather than proprietary software. The practice is Intuitive Surgical's designated Single-Port Robotic Surgery Training Epicenter, with Dr. Kim having performed over 1,000 robotic surgeries and 100+ single-port procedures. The procedural menu includes da Vinci SP robotic surgery, HoLEP (exclusive in Orange County), HIFU prostate cancer treatment, Aquablation, Rezum water vapor therapy, UroLift implants, Emsella chair therapy, SoftWave therapy, and laparoscopic surgery. The practice is affiliated with four major hospitals and nine outpatient surgical centers, and maintains clinical trials activity.

OCUA generates revenue through fee-for-service clinical care, accepting most insurance plans including Medicare and Workers' Compensation and filing claims on behalf of patients. The go-to-market motion is sales-led through physician referrals, direct patient inquiries, insurance networks, and a strong reputation-based marketing program including Dr. Spitz's 75+ TV appearances on 'The Doctors,' his published book, and clinical trial recruitment. The April 2026 IR Centers partnership and operating under affiliated brands targeting 25 markets signals a transition from a single-region specialty practice to a multi-site platform.
