Mission Urology

About Mission Urology

What is Mission Urology?

Mission Urology is a urology practice in Riverside, California, run by Ken Takesita, M.D. It is mainly a urology office, treating conditions like prostate cancer, kidney stones, kidney cancer, incontinence, enlarged prostate (BPH), erectile dysfunction, Peyronie's disease, and vasectomy. Low testosterone is one of the conditions it treats, with Dr. Takesita described as board certified and specializing in the diagnosis, management and treatment of testosterone deficiency in aging men. The practice lists minimally invasive options such as Rezūm and UroLift for BPH, and mentions participating in clinical research involving newer medications and therapies, though it does not name testosterone replacement therapy specifically as a service it offers.

What does it cost?

Mission Urology does not publish prices for an office visit, a low testosterone evaluation, or any treatment. It also does not say whether it takes insurance or works on a cash pay basis. If cost matters to your decision, ask directly what an initial consultation costs, whether blood work (testosterone, hematocrit, PSA, liver function, pituitary hormone panel) is billed separately, and whether the practice accepts your insurance or requires payment up front.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether Dr. Takesita is the one who would review your labs and prescribe, since he is the only prescriber named here. Ask what the initial visit involves and whether baseline labs are drawn there or sent out. Since the practice mentions research participation in new therapies, ask whether any treatment offered to you is standard care or part of a study, and what that means for cost or follow-up. Ask what ongoing monitoring looks like if testosterone therapy is started, and how often labs are repeated. None of this is published, so you'll need to ask by phone before you book.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a urologist, not a telehealth hormone subscription, to evaluate low testosterone alongside other urologic issues like BPH, erectile dysfunction, or kidney stones, and you're comfortable asking about cost and insurance directly rather than finding it posted online. It's less of a fit if you're looking for a clinic built specifically around testosterone therapy with published pricing and a defined program structure.
