Daniel M. Stein, MD, MHS, FACS, is Chair of the Department of Urology at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. He is a reconstructive urologist who specializes in the management of complex urologic conditions, with particular expertise in
genitourinary reconstruction, trauma, and neurogenic bladder.
Dr. Stein’s clinical practice focuses on restoring function, improving quality of life, and helping patients navigate challenging urologic problems. He treats urethral stricture disease, urethral and bladder injuries, urinary fistulae, male stress urinary incontinence, neurogenic bladder, and complex genital and urinary tract scarring caused by trauma, radiation, surgery, infection, or inflammatory conditions such as hidradenitis suppurativa and lichen sclerosus. His practice also
includes genitoplastics and complex soft-tissue reconstruction involving the genital and groin regions.
Dr. Stein is committed to a thoughtful, multidisciplinary approach to care. Many of his patients have conditions that affect not only urinary function, but also mobility, independence, body image, sexuality, and overall quality of life. He works closely with patients, families, referring physicians, and other specialists to develop individualized treatment plans that reflect each patient’s goals, medical needs, and personal priorities.
In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Stein is deeply involved in medical education and academic leadership. He previously served as Residency Program Director for the GW Urology Residency Program and continues to play an active role in teaching and mentoring medical students, residents, and faculty. As department chair, he is focused on strengthening clinical programs, expanding access to specialized urologic care, supporting faculty development, and training the next generation of urologists.
Dr. Stein earned his Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from the University of California, Los Angeles, and his Master of Health Science from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, where he focused on international disease control. He received his medical degree from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, completed urology residency at Northwestern University/McGaw Medical Center, and pursued fellowship training in genitourinary reconstruction and trauma at the Detroit Medical Center.
His scholarly work has focused on reconstructive urology, trauma, urinary incontinence, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient-reported outcomes. He has published and lectured on topics including neurogenic bladder, voiding dysfunction, genitourinary trauma, complex soft-tissue reconstruction, and surgical approaches to restoring urinary and genital function. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a member of professional organizations including the American Urological Association, the Society of Academic Urologists, and the Society of Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgeons.
Dr. Stein’s broader professional interests include global health, surgical education, mentorship, and improving access to high-quality reconstructive urologic care. He has participated in medical education and surgical outreach efforts in Haiti, Guyana, and Rwanda, reflecting his longstanding commitment to service and underserved communities.
Across his clinical, educational, and leadership roles, Dr. Stein is dedicated to advancing urologic care and helping patients regain function, independence, confidence, and quality of life.
