“My treatment philosophy is very simple. I try to think of myself as a patient, as I’m treating my patients. Am I giving them the education and the information and the care that I would want as a patient?”
Dr. Marr graduated from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and later completed a general surgery residency, urology, and renal transplant residency at OHSU. He finished a research fellowship at Northwestern University in Chicago, IL. Dr. Marr focuses on bladder cancer, kidney cancer, and general urology at The Oregon Clinic Urology.
