Dr. Kenworthy was the first Urologist in the Greater Houston area to perform the UroLift® procedure in the office as well as the first to earn the Center of Excellence designation. To date, he has performed over 650 UroLift® procedures in the office, more than any other doctor in the area.
In addition, Dr. Kenworthy is the first Urologist in the greater North Houston area to provide Aquablation therapy for the management of obstructive BPH.
Dr. Kenworthy remains committed to providing the finest care for patients whose health and lives are compromised by urological disorders. He served as the medical director of the first center for incontinence care developed in Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center. He currently practices in The Woodlands and Huntsville offices of Northwoods Urology.
