Peter Bretan, Jr., MD, FACS

Peter N. Bretan, MD, is dedicated to serving the urological needs of Watsonville, California, and the surrounding communities. Experience has taught him to treat each patient as an individual and a partner in his or her medical care and he makes patient education a central component of his care. Dr. Bretan treats a broad range of urologic concerns; among their specialties are renal surgery, renal transplantation, and treatment of female incontinence.

Our staff is committed to individualized patient care and thorough diagnoses. We strive to provide state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment using the latest urological innovations. We are aware that many urological conditions are accompanied by social discomfort or embarrassment; therefore, we emphasize sensitivity and discretion when dealing with all our patients’ concerns. We are associated with University of California at San Francisco where our physicians teach and do research.

A urologist is a special physician who is highly trained to treat disorders of the male and female urinary tract (bladder, ureter, kidney, and urethra) and the male reproductive system. Urology is classified as a surgical subspecialty, but since a wide variety of clinical problems are encountered when treating urological conditions, knowledge of internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, and other specialties is required.
