Genesis Urology's Encinitas office on Santa Fe Drive is led by Dr. Philip Butler, a urologist board-certified by the American Board of Urology and designated a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. A founding member of Genesis Healthcare Partners practicing since 1986, he completed his six-year surgical and urological residency at the University of California San Diego Medical Center after earning his medical degree from New York Medical College, building a referral network that extends from primary care providers such as United Family Medicine. He holds the chairmanship of the Section of Urology at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla and maintains surgical privileges at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. Laser lithotripsy for kidney stone fragmentation and the UroLift system for benign prostatic hyperplasia represent the practice's minimally invasive focus, reducing recovery timelines for conditions that occasionally intersect with the fertility evaluations performed at California Center for Reproductive Medicine. Advanced procedures include holmium laser enucleation of the prostate and laparoscopic nephrectomy for complex renal pathology requiring multi-quadrant abdominal access.
