Genesis Gastroenterology La Jolla CA

Unio Specialty Care Urology in Downey, CA is Welcoming New Patients!

Welcome to Unio Specialty Care, formerly West Coast Urology. We are an independent group of board-certified urologists and advanced practice providers under the Unio umbrella. We have been providing advanced urologic care to our communities for more than 30 years. Drs Lawrence Paletz and Ernest Agatstein founded this group in 1990. Through the years, the practice has grown organically to extend its services through multiple offices and hospitals in the metropolitan Los Angeles area and north Orange County. Aside from the practice of medicine, we are active in leadership roles in our communities and hospitals, teaching, research and publishing in peer reviewed journals. Our offices are located in Inglewood, Downey, Whittier, and Los Alamitos.

Since 1991, our Downey clinic has grown and expanded to provide the full range of urologic services to the surrounding communities. Today, we remain the only independent urology group in the city of Downey. The clinic is situated across the street from PIH Downey Hospital and a few short blocks from the shops and restaurants on Firestone Boulevard. In October 2024, we completed our move to a new 6000 sq foot state of the art facility.  This clinic is fully equipped with the latest instruments and technology to provide advanced and comprehensive care for our patients.  This facility has two separate waiting rooms based on appointment type, large and spacious hallways and exam rooms, and is home to our multiple services (regular patient visits, office procedures, ultrasound, urodynamics, in-office pharmacy, clinical research trials).  There is free parking on site.
