Dr. Yefri Alexander Baez received his Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Italian Studies from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY. He then spent a year conducting research at the Computational Cerebrovascular Laboratory at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in Rutgers, NJ, where he worked on advanced neurosurgical modeling.
He earned his medical degree from Harvard Medical School in Boston, focusing on health care disparities, and went on to complete his residency in Urologic Surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School. During residency, he gained invaluable experience at Boston Children’s Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Originally from Bajos de Haina in the Dominican Republic, Dr. Baez was drawn to urology for its blend of medicine and surgery, its innovative procedures, and the opportunity to build long-term relationships with patients.
Clinically, Dr. Baez specializes in:
- Prosthetic surgery (penile, sphincter, testicular)
- Minimally invasive robotic and endoscopic surgery
- Benign and malignant diseases of the prostate, bladder, and kidney
- Stone disease
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
At Z Urology, Dr. Baez most often treats patients with urinary incontinence, prostate disease, kidney stones, erectile dysfunction, bladder dysfunction, and issues related to kidney drainage.
Dr. Baez emphasizes that urology is not just about the prostate — it encompasses the full spectrum of the genitourinary tract for both men and women. He makes it a priority to normalize patients’ concerns and reassure them that their Z Urology team will be by their side through every step of treatment.
Beyond Medicine
Outside of work, Dr. Baez and his wife love traveling and exploring new cities. You might also find him at a live concert, in a museum learning about history, or tending to his growing indoor plant collection, which he hopes to expand into gardening and bonsai now that he’s in South Florida.
