KC Biebighauser Bens, M.D.

Dr. KC Biebighauser Bens completed her Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry at The University of Texas at Austin, and her Medical Doctorate at McGovern Medical School at The University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. She then went on to complete her surgical internship and urology residency at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.

Dr. Bens is trained in all areas of adult urology including minimally invasive surgery. She treats both benign and malignant urologic diseases, in both male and female patients. She has a specific interest in oncologic and reconstructive surgery using the DaVinci Robot. She also commonly treats lower urinary tract symptoms, incontinence and erectile dysfunction.
