Dr. Fuentes is a board-certified urologist who grew up in Texas. After September 11th, he joined the United States Navy where he served six years aboard a nuclear submarine with two deployments overseas. He then went back to school to finish his Bachelor of Science in Microbiology at the University of Texas at Austin, graduating with High Honors. He subsequently completed his Medical Degree at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock, Texas where he earned membership in Alpha Omega Alpha and Gold Humanism honor societies.
Dr. Fuentes completed his internship and residency at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston where he learned from leaders in Urologic Oncology, Minimally Invasive Surgery, Reconstruction, Stones and Men’s Health. He was extensively trained in Advanced Endoscopy and Robotics and tries to utilize these approaches whenever possible to ease recovery from surgery. Dr. Fuentes finds it important to not only treat his patients but educate them about their disease process so that they can learn ways to prevent future urologic illnesses such as recurring kidney stones.
Board certified in urology, Dr. Fuentes has been providing a wide variety of urologic care in southern Colorado with a focus in complex robotic surgery and specializes in the treatment of cancers or tumors of the kidneys, prostate, ureters, bladder, adrenal glands and testes with robotic procedures as well as robotic ureteral reconstruction surgery, endoscopic and percutaneous surgery for complex and large kidney stones, robotic simple prostatectomy for enlarged prostate, and laparoscopic repair of varicocele.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Fuentes enjoys spending time with his wife, two children and dog doing everything the great outdoors has to offer including: hiking, skiing, biking, rafting and camping. He cheers on college and professional sports teams, and he is fond of traveling and cultural experiences.
