What california urology does

California Urology is a privately-held, multi-physician urology group practice founded in 1972 and headquartered in Southern California. The practice is staffed by three board-certified urologists — Dr. Jules Perley, Dr. Jonathan Perley (father and son), and Dr. Thomas Calvert — who collectively hold over 60 years of experience and treat adult and pediatric patients across five office locations in Lakewood, Long Beach, Montebello, Los Alamitos, and Redondo Beach, with surgical and inpatient capacity extended through twelve affiliated hospitals and surgery centers including Long Beach Memorial, Torrance Memorial, Cedars-Sinai Marina Hospital, and Lakewood Regional. The practice's core technology centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques and in-office therapies, with notable specialty offerings including a designated UroLift Center of Excellence for treating enlarged prostate (BPH) and the Solesta injectable for bowel/fecal incontinence. Service lines are organized by patient demographic (Men, Women, Children) and condition, covering BPH, urological cancers (prostate, kidney, bladder, testicular, adrenal), kidney stones, incontinence, sexual dysfunction, vasectomy, and circumcision.

The practice generates revenue exclusively through professional services — patient consultations, diagnostic procedures, in-office treatments, and surgical interventions billed to patients and their insurance carriers. Go-to-market is sales-led in the traditional medical-practice sense: patients schedule appointments by phone or via an online contact form (with 24-hour callback), and the practice relies on a basic Squarespace-hosted website and presence on third-party directories (Yelp, Healthgrades) for patient acquisition. There is no evidence of a digital health platform, telemedicine offering, or technology-enabled service delivery model; the practice operates as a conventional independent medical group. The firm has no disclosed funding, no private equity backing, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, and is owned and operated by its three physicians. With 16 total employees, five physical locations, and twelve hospital affiliations, the practice functions as a stable, multi-channel regional provider rather than a scaling enterprise.

• Mayo Clinic Department of Urology: Academic urology department within Mayo Clinic. Comparable as a provider of comprehensive adult and pediatric urology services, but operating at much larger institutional scale and with substantially broader subspecialty coverage.
• Cedars-Sinai Urology: Academic urology program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, one of California Urology's affiliated hospital partners. Comparable as a urology care provider in Southern California, but operating within a much larger hospital system rather than as an independent group practice.
• Kaiser Permanente Urology: Integrated urology service line within Kaiser Permanente's Southern California network. Comparable as a urology care provider in the same regional market, but operating inside a fully integrated payer-provider system rather than as an independent private practice.
