Matthew C. Ercolani, MD FACS

Dr. Ercolani

To my amazing patients and colleagues:

For those of you who have not heard, I have made the difficult decision to leave Elite Urology of Southwest Florida and turn over the day to day operations to my two outstanding partners, Dr. Eihab Akary and Dr. Edward Ioffe, as of the end of September 2023.

For the past several years, I have had the blessing/predicament of overseeing a great practice on the Gulf Coast of Florida but also founding and leading a world class robotic surgery practice on the west coast of the United States (California, Oregon, and Arizona).

The travel and weight of the many responsibilities that go with running two very busy and successful practices on opposite sites of the country have finally taken their toll. I have decided to focus my professional time and efforts on the west coast of the US and spend more time with my loved ones when I am not working. It is long overdue as Siena is now 8 years old and growing up fast.

I could not have made this decision without having the confidence that my patients in Florida would continue to receive the top flight care, respect, and attention that they deserve. Dr. Akary and Dr. Ioffe have made this very easy for me.

THEY ARE TERRIFIC!

If you still want to receive the best urologic care in the area, please continue to support them and Elite Urology of Southwest Florida with your trust and business. The practice will continue to have offices in Lakewood Ranch and Bradenton and the number will continue to be 941-260-4440.

To all of you who have been such loyal patients, wonderful friends, and steadfast supporters (always giving me a smile, a sly compliment, or an encouraging word), you have my enduring thanks and a warm place in my heart. I wish you all the very best and will remain only a phone call, email, or text away if you need me. God bless you all and thank you for making the last 13 years so wonderful.

Very sincerely,
Matt
