Eric Y Cho, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Urology
BioDr. Eric Y. Cho is a board-certified, fellowship-trained urologist with Stanford Health Care and an clinical assistant professor in the Department of Urology at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Cho provides general and reconstructive urology care, including surgical and nonsurgical treatments for a wide range of conditions affecting the urinary and male reproductive systems. He treats a wide spectrum of general urology conditions, including benign prostatic hyperplasia and kidney stones, and provides diagnosis and treatment counseling for urologic cancers. In addition, he has expertise in genitourinary reconstruction related to urinary tract trauma and injury, urethral and ureteral strictures, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, and cancer survivorship challenges such as urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction. He has expertise using minimally invasive and robotic techniques to restore function, structure, and appearance.
He excels at helping patients understand and navigate their care, which may involve multiple specialists. He also prioritizes shared decision-making with each patient to deliver care that supports their treatment goals and quality of life.
Dr. Cho’s research focuses on developing and evaluating innovative surgical techniques in reconstructive urology. He has studied robotic approaches to ureteral reconstruction and prostatectomy, as well as patient outcomes after surgery. He continues to pursue research aiming to understand how disease develops and how to continually improve patient outcomes with and without surgery.
Dr. Cho has published his findings in leading peer-reviewed journals and has shared research findings at regional and national urologic meetings. He also participates in international medical missions to serve communities that lack access to reconstructive urologic surgery and care.
Dr. Cho is a member of the American Urologic Association (AUA), Society of Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgeons (GURS), and Western Section of the AUA (WSAUA). -

Valerie Chock
Professor of Pediatrics (Neonatology) and, by courtesy, of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Maternal Fetal Medicine)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsNeurological monitoring in critically ill infants. Altered hemodynamics in neonates, especially in relation to prematurity, congenital heart disease, and central nervous system injury. Determination of the hemodynamic significance and effects of a patent ductus arteriosus in the preterm infant. Utilizing NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy) and other technologies for improved monitoring in the NICU.

Eun Young Choi, PhD
Assistant Professor (Research) of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Interdisciplinary Brain Sciences) and of Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Choi is broadly interested in mapping the brain’s connectivity and characterizing its functional dynamics using advanced neuroimaging and clinical neurophysiological methods, as well as translating this information to identify individual-specific neurosurgical targets and treatment strategies using neuromodulation (e.g., deep brain stimulation). Her prior work has mapped the functional and connectional organization of the cortex, striatum, and thalamus using neuroimaging and NHP neuroanatomical tract-tracing. She is currently focused on the use of thalamic deep brain stimulation to improve memory and attention in traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer’s disease, and the development of precise, individual-specific adult and pediatric brain atlases and network maps.
