He believes that every patient deserves to be heard, understood, and empowered to make decisions about their own health. Shared decision-making is at the heart of his practice, as he sees his role not only as a clinician but also as a partner and advocate, ensuring patients have the knowledge and support to navigate complex choices with confidence. He is equally committed to innovation and multidisciplinary teamwork, recognizing that the best outcomes come when diverse expertise and perspectives are brought together. Growing up in a low-income immigrant household and being the first in his family to pursue medicine, he is deeply attuned to the inequities that shape access to care. This background drives him to actively address disparities, striving to deliver high-quality, equitable care for all patients, regardless of background or circumstance. ### Professional highlights Dr. Manuel Armas-Phan is a member of the American Urological Association. ### Outside of medicine Outside of medicine, Dr. Manuel Armas-Phan enjoys running, playing sports such as basketball and soccer, and spending time with his family. ## Education and training **Medical school:** University of California, San Francisco **Internship:** Emory University School of Medicine **Residency:** Emory University School of Medicine, Urology ## Affiliations ### Hospitals -
