Biography
Olamide Omidele, MD, specializes in urology at Ochsner Health in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Dr. Omidele is a urologist and urologic oncologist who specializes in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted care for prostate, kidney and bladder conditions. He earned his medical degree from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, completed his urology residency there, and went on to complete fellowship training in robotic urologic oncology at Houston Methodist Hospital. Born in Nigeria and raised in Katy, Texas, he now brings that high-level training and Texas connection to patients in Lake Charles, helping expand access to advanced urologic cancer care closer to home. Dr. Omideles practice emphasizes robotic-assisted and laparoscopic urologic surgery, including procedures used to treat prostate, kidney, and bladder conditions. His fellowship in robotic urologic oncology further refined his expertise in minimally invasive cancer surgery, and his academic work has explored newer approaches such as single-port surgery and advanced diagnostic tools for earlier detection and treatment of urologic cancers. He has also been associated with research and presentations related to Aquablation therapy for BPH, reflecting his interest in techniques that can improve outcomes while preserving quality of life. Dr. Omidele takes a patient-centered, collaborative approach to care. He has described the physicians role as providing the expertise patients need to make informed decisions, and that philosophy shapes how he communicates treatment options, listens to patient priorities, and builds care plans around each persons goals and values.
