He sees patients at the UT Southwestern Monty and Tex Moncrief Medical Center at Fort Worth and performs surgery at Texas Health Clearfork.

Dr. Kazarian provides comprehensive medical and surgical care for a broad range of urologic conditions, including blood in the urine (hematuria), urinary symptoms, enlarged prostate (BPH), kidney stones, elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and urologic cancers. His clinical interests include kidney cancer, robotic and minimally invasive surgery, and the surgical treatment of BPH and kidney stones.

He emphasizes individualized treatment, helping patients understand their diagnoses, available options, and the potential benefits and trade-offs of each approach. He believes treatment decisions should reflect each patient's goals, priorities, and quality of life.

Dr. Kazarian earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Southern California and his medical degree from the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. He completed his urology residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center, where he joined the faculty in 2026.

Meet Dr. Kazarian

One of the things Dr. Kazarian values most about urology is the ability to offer patients a wide range of treatment options. Depending on the condition and the patient’s goals, treatment may include observation, medication, office-based procedures, endoscopic surgery, or minimally invasive or robotic surgery.

“My goal is to make sure patients understand what is going on, what their options are, and why one approach may make more sense than another,” Dr. Kazarian said. “The right treatment should fit the patient, not just the diagnosis.”

Dr. Kazarian enjoys having the opportunity to care for patients with a wide variety of urologic conditions over time. As part of UT Southwestern’s Fort Worth urology team, he is committed to providing comprehensive, accessible urologic care throughout Fort Worth and North Texas. He works closely with UT Southwestern’s subspecialists when patients would benefit from highly specialized or multidisciplinary care.

“I want patients to feel that they have someone who can help them navigate the full spectrum of urologic care,” he says. “Whether the problem is straightforward or more complex, my job is to help them understand the next step and make a decision they feel confident about.”
