James G. Hendricks, MD

James Hendricks, MD, is a Board Certified urologist and sees patients in Rancho Mirage at the Eisenhower Urology Specialty Clinic. He attended medical school at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and then completed two years of general surgery residency and four years of urology residency at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City. 

After completing his training, Dr. Hendricks spent four years as a urologist for the U.S. Navy, spending two years in Yokosuka, Japan and two years at Naval Medical Center in San Diego. Once he was honorably discharged from the Navy, he began private practice in the Bay Area of California and migrated to Napa Valley, where he spent 12 years. He then relocated to Southern California and spent a few years practicing in Hemet before joining Eisenhower Health.

Dr. Hendricks practices all facets of urology.  He has been doing laparoscopic urology since 2000, and began doing robotic urology in 2002.  He has been a proctor, teaching other urologists how to perform robotic surgery. He has also provided workshops for other urologists in Napa – training other urologists in laparoscopic renal cryoablation and prostate cryoablation, as well as in office laser prostatectomy.
Dr. Hendricks went into medicine because he loves people and the science of medicine, and urology is the perfect mixture of both. He continually educates himself to be able to provide the most up-to-date therapies for all of his urological patients. As he says, “It is taking care of all the different types of people we see in medicine that brings the most joy. Being able to offer them therapies to improve their health and quality of life is extremely rewarding.”
