Dr. Bhanji is a fellowship-trained urologic surgeon specializing in minimally invasive, endoscopic, and robotic surgery. Raised in Los Angeles and inspired by his NASA scientist father, he pursued his undergraduate education in Economics at the University of Chicago. Then he went on to medical school at Northwestern University.
Dr. Bhanji completed his internship in general surgery and residency in urological surgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he received numerous awards for clinical excellence.
During his research fellowship at Hopkins, Dr. Bhanji was awarded support from the National Institutes of Health for his investigations in advanced imaging techniques in men with prostate cancer. He published over 30 journal articles, textbook chapters, and presentations throughout his residency, including numerous journal articles and book chapters on prostate cancer and robotic surgery. He then pursued advanced fellowship training at UCLA, where he honed his skills in cutting-edge, minimally invasive techniques for complex kidney stones and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Dr. Bhanji has significant experience in treating urologic cancers, with a particular interest in prostate cancer. He also has an interest in general urologic conditions, including kidney stones, benign prostatic enlargement, voiding dysfunction, and erectile dysfunction. At UCLA, Dr. Bhanji received advanced training in Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP).
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a technique for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. Dr. Yasin Bhanji is one of the few urologists in the metro-Atlanta area who offers this procedure, which uses a laser to very precisely remove obstructive prostate tissue in order to relieve bladder obstruction while minimizing bleeding and overall recovery time.
Dr Bhanji is excited to offer the new gold standard in prostate biopsy: the MRI/ultrasound fusion, targeted, transperineal prostate biopsy, which provides for better prostate cancer detection and a significantly lower risk of infection after biopsy.
Dr. Bhanji has staff privileges at Northside Cherokee Hospital.
Outside of work, Dr. Bhanji enjoys spending time with his family, biking, swimming, and skiing. He has strong ties to Atlanta and is excited to bring his expertise to Georgia Urology, building long-term, compassionate relationships with patients with urologic conditions.
Patient Testimonial
Dr. Yasin Bhanji, MD – A Truly Exceptional Urologist and Surgeon
I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Yasin Bhanji. In January 2025, he performed a robotic surgery on my prostate, and from start to finish, his care and expertise were nothing short of outstanding. His intelligence, skill, and precision in surgery are remarkable, but what truly sets him apart is his unwavering dedication to his patients.
Dr. Bhanji has an exceptional bedside manner—he is kind, empathetic, and takes the time to explain everything in a way that the average person can easily understand. He never rushes through conversations, ensuring that his patients feel informed, comfortable, and at ease. What impressed me most was his incredible follow-through; he visited me in the hospital every single day after my surgery, a testament to his deep commitment to patient care.
Beyond his surgical expertise, Dr. Bhanji genuinely cares. He delivers on all his medical promises and makes sure his patients receive the best possible outcome. If you are experiencing any urological issues, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Bhanji. He is a rare gem in the medical field—brilliant, compassionate, and truly dedicated to his patients’ well-being. Thanks to him, I am on the path to recovery with confidence and gratitude.
