LAKEPORT – The urology group associated with Sutter Medical Group of the Redwoods (SMGR) has begun a urology practice in Lakeport at Sutter Lakeside Hospital.
This group provides the finest in patient care in treating diseases of the urinary tract for men, women and pediatric patients, as well as in addressing conditions associated with the male reproductive system.
“We are very excited to welcome the SMGR urology group to Sutter Lakeside,” stated Dr. Diane Pege, Vice President of Medical Affairs at Sutter Lakeside Hospital. “We have needed local expertise in urology for many years and we are elated they are on our team.”
Dr. Uzay Yasar, Dr. Robert James and Dr. Thomas Duckett have combined expertise in treating urological and genitourinary disorders such as bladder pain treatment, prostate and bladder cancer surgery, complex kidney and urethral stone removal, impotence and infertility, and male and female incontinence to name a few.
To expedite procedures and speed recovery, the SMGR urologists use state-of-the-art, minimally invasive robotic and laparoscopic techniques for prostate and kidney surgery that replace a majority of formerly open surgical processes.
The urology group will see patients on Fridays, with expanded office hours as demand increases. Their office is located on the Sutter Lakeside Hospital campus at 5150 Hill Road East, Suite C (this is the same office Dr. Anne Tait uses from Monday to Thursday).
For more information, or to make an appointment, call 707-263-3520.

LOWER LAKE – Lake County Public Health will offer free H1N1 vaccinations on Wednesday, March 3, at Lower Lake Elementary School.
The clinic will take place from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the school, located at 9430 Lake St.
People of any age (over 6 months) are welcome, but children who need a first or second dose are especially encouraged to come to this clinic.
Children under age 10 years need two doses of H1N1 vaccine separated by at least one month.
Coming soon are additional opportunities to get vaccinated. Designated pharmacies throughout Lake County will soon be able to offer vaccinations free-of-charge, primarily for older children and adults.
Information about locations, dates, hours and any age restrictions will be advertised in the near future.
In addition, Lake County Public Health on 922 Bevins Court will offer vaccinations from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays throughout the month of March. Families with young children are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity.
People of all ages are strongly encouraged to get vaccinated against H1N1 influenza. This will help prevent a resurgence of disease over the coming months and will prepare for the upcoming influenza season.
The H1N1 vaccination is recommended for protection throughout the spring and summer. The seasonal influenza vaccine that will be available in the fall will also be recommended because it will protect against other strains of influenza and will strengthen immunity against H1N1 in people who were previously vaccinated.
