Alan H. Yamada, MD, is a board-certified urologist with over 30 years of experience providing comprehensive, compassionate care to the community of Arcadia, California.

Dr. Yamada is specially trained to diagnose and treat a wide spectrum of complex conditions affecting the urinary tract and reproductive organs. His extensive clinical expertise spans advanced treatments for general urological health, including the management of kidney stones, urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Additionally, he specializes in cutting-edge surgical visualization, minimally invasive interventions, and specialized oncological care for prostate, bladder, and kidney cancers, ensuring each patient receives a highly tailored and effective treatment plan.

Dr. Yamada and his family are Los Angeles natives going back four generations. He grew up in Venice, California, and learned his work ethic from his father, who was a gardener. This blue-collar childhood grounded him and made him appreciate the integrity of honest work. In addition, the rich multi-ethnic background of Mar Vista and Venice serves him to this day. He attended UCLA, received a BA in biochemistry from UC Berkeley in 1981, enjoyed a small stint at Cambridge University in England, achieved an MD from Yale University in 1987, and completed his surgical internship, residency, and urology training at USC/Los Angeles County Medical Center from 1987 to 1993. This educational diversity provided him with insight into understanding and relating to many ethnic and socioeconomic groups. Since 1993, he has been dedicated to private practice, delivering superior patient healthcare to the Arcadia and Pasadena communities.

Outside of his medical practice, Dr. Yamada shares a deeply blessed and happy marriage with his wife, Gigi. Together, they share a vibrant passion for exploring the world and learning about diverse international cultures, playing golf, and actively serving in various Church Ministries. Fueled by their shared faith and desire to give back, they founded the non-profit organization Puso For You (www.pusoforyou.org), which is dedicated to uplifting underserved communities through essential outreach, spiritual support, and sustainable resources. Their ultimate vision for the foundation includes establishing a free medical clinic and community center in the Philippines to bring life-changing care and hope to those who need it most. When he is not participating in local or international ministries, Dr. Yamada is a passionate enthusiast of long-range deep-sea fishing, geopolitics, and he can always be found cheering on the Los Angeles Dodgers.
