Dr. Robert Mordkin attended the University of Southern California Medical School and graduated Alpha Omega Alpha in 1992.

He then completed both his surgical internship and his urological surgery residency at Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC, in 1998. During his residency, he served as a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Naval Reserve and received an Honorable Discharge in September, 2004. He received advanced training in reconstructive and female urology at the Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, before joining the Georgetown University Hospital Department of Urology in October of 1998.

An Associate Professor at Georgetown, he served on a number of Hospital and Medical School committees and was the Director of Laparoscopic Urology. As Director, he was the first urologist in Washington, DC to perform a laparoscopic prostatectomy. As a co-head of Laparoscopic Urology at Virginia Hospital Center, he and Dr. Joel were the first to perform a single port laparoscopic nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy, and suprapubic prostatectomy.

In 2004, Dr. Mordkin entered private practice and joined Urological Surgeons of Illinois, Kankakee, IL. During this time he served as an Associate Professor in the Rush University Medical Center Division of Urology and as the Director of Robotic and Laparoscopic Urologic Surgery at the Rush-Riverside Medical Center. As Director, he regularly used the da Vinci robot to perform numerous robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomies.

In June 2005, Dr. Mordkin returned to the Washington, DC area to establish Washington Urology with his long-time colleague, Dr. Andrew Joel. Currently, Dr. Mordkin is a member of the Virginia Hospital Center medical staff and serves as the Co-head of Laparoscopic Urology at the Hospital. He is a Diplomat of the American Board of Urology and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He is member of the American Urological Association, the Mid-Atlantic Section of the American Urological Association, the Washington Urological Society, and the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons.

Dr. Mordkin has authored numerous journal articles and meeting abstracts on a wide range of urologic issues. He has lectured both locally and nationally and has been an instructor for a number of new urological procedures, including the robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. He has been recognized by both residents and colleagues for his dedication to his profession and the field of urology by receiving the Outstanding Resident Teacher Award, the Maxted Award for Outstanding Faculty Teacher, and the Washingtonian Magazine Top Doctors Award.
