Dr. Flemming treats patients for conditions involving the kidneys, bladder, prostate, stones, birth control, incontinence, impotence, and cancer.
From an early age, Dr. Flemming was inspired by family and friends to explore the world of medicine. He attended the University of Oklahoma undergraduate program. He proceeded to attend the University of New Mexico Medical School, and joined the ranks of one of the pioneering institutions in the United States. Multiple papers and books have been written about the problem-based, patient-centered curriculum at the University of New Mexico Medical School. It served as the template for the development of the "5th Pathway" program at Harvard, as well as a similar program at McGill University in Montreal.
In his third year in medical school, the young Dr. Flemming made the decision to specialize in urology because of the variety of treatment technologies, and the prospect that most of the patients he treated – men, women, and children – could make full recoveries through the treatments he performed.
His extensive medical and surgical training has always been based on what is best for the patient. In the sphere of modern medicine, there are often multiple options for treatment and it is important to cater to the individuals’ needs. The "new" movement towards quality care and outcomes has been at the forefront of Dr. Flemming’s training and practice for 30 years.
While practicing all facets of urological surgery, he specializes in stone surgery, incontinence, prostate therapy (both benign and malignant), and other cancers. He has access to state of the art equipment including the most modern IMRT facility. He also has specialized training in complicated Pediatric Surgery, Advanced Pelvic Surgery and state of the art surgery for Erectile Dysfunction. In addition to seeing patients here in Fresno, he also has an active Urologic Surgical Practice in Monterey .
Dr. Matthew Rainwater decided to join his father and become part of the Valley Urology team. He is excited to be returning to the Central Valley after spending 15 years in the midwest. During that time, Dr. Rainwater spent most of his time in Omaha, NE where he completed medical school and a couple other masters degrees. After starting his training in surgery, Dr. Rainwater decided he wanted to be more involved in patients everyday health. With that in mind, he moved back to the Central Valley to move forward as a general practitioner.
As Dr. Matthew Rainwater grew up surrounded by the world of urology, he does have a special interest in Men’s Health and Clinic Urology, which makes him a great new addition at Valley Urology. Additionally, being a General Practitioner allows Dr. M. Rainwater to broaden his practice to be able to see patients that may also need someone on their team that can help them live a healthier life. Which is why Dr. M. Rainwater is excited to start this next step in his career. In his free time, Dr. Matthew Rainwater likes to stay busy whether by getting into home remodeling projects or getting some golf rounds in on his days off.
