Logan Zemp, MD

Cancer Focus:
Bladder Cancer, Kidney (Renal Cell) Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Testicular Cancer

Dr. Zemp received his MD from the University of Alberta in Canada, where he also completed a Urology Residency. Most recently, he completed a Urologic Oncology Fellowship at Moffitt Cancer Center.  Dr. Zemp’s clinical focus is management of urologic malignancies including kidney, bladder, prostate, and testis cancer. His research interests focus on improving post-operative surgical care and the patient experience with those who have undergone major abdominal/pelvic operations, specifically radical cystectomy, using patient-reported outcomes and biometric data.
