About
Domenico Savatta is a board-certified urologist, robotic surgery pioneer, engineer, and health care technology entrepreneur with more than two decades of experience in urologic surgery and oncology. His career has been defined by a commitment to advancing medical technology while preserving the personal relationships that are essential to effective patient care.
A graduate of The Cooper Union, where he earned his engineering degree summa cum laude, Savatta went on to earn his medical degree from Stony Brook University School of Medicine, where he was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha. He completed his surgical internship and urology residency at Indiana University.
Savatta was among the early adopters of robotic urologic surgery, helping introduce and develop robotic surgical programs in New Jersey beginning in 2004. Over his career, he has performed thousands of robotic procedures, with particular expertise in prostate cancer, kidney cancer, and complex minimally invasive urologic surgery. He has also served as a robotic surgery proctor, helping other surgeons adopt advanced surgical techniques.
His engineering background has strongly influenced his approach to medicine. He believes technology should simplify complex processes, improve clinical decision-making, and allow physicians to spend more time understanding and caring for their patients.
After more than 20 years in practice, Savatta founded Innovative Urology and the Men's Wellness Institute of New Jersey, independent practices built around personalized, technology-enabled health care. His vision is to create a more accessible and coordinated patient experience, combining traditional physician-patient relationships with modern digital tools, education, and communication.
Recognizing the limitations of existing health care technology, he also founded LA Digital Systems, a software company focused on developing patient-centered health care applications, educational platforms, and communication systems.
Among these initiatives is LA Love, a health care communication application designed to bring patients, physicians, health care teams, family members, and caregivers together in secure, event-based care rooms. Rather than organizing communication around individual health care institutions, the platform is designed to coordinate the people involved in a patient's care around specific medical events, with the patient participating in decisions about who is included.
Savatta is also developing digital patient education and engagement platforms, including FindAUrologist.com, to help patients better understand their medical conditions and treatment options before meeting with their physicians.
His broader mission is to apply engineering principles, artificial intelligence, and thoughtful software design to make health care easier to navigate without sacrificing the judgment, compassion, and personal connection that define good medicine. He believes the future of health care is not simply more technology, but better-designed systems that give patients greater understanding, improve communication, and allow physicians to focus on what matters most: caring for people.
