News & Events

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

Greetings my friends. I know these are uncertain times and uncertainty naturally causes anxiety. I want to update you on what is happening nationally to respond to the very real threat of COVID-19. This weekend, thousands of doctors across the country have been sharing the latest information on the virus to better educate ourselves and we have agreed, for the most part, to cancel all elective (non-emergent) surgeries and clinics for the next couple of weeks so that we as physicians and healthcare providers and focus our time and energy on slowing the progression of this illness. More importantly, we want to keep you, our patients, out of harm’s way in places where people gather (hospital and office waiting rooms and holding areas).

If you had surgery or an appointment scheduled with myself, Arin, or Elina, I apologize for the cancellations. Please understand that this is for your safety and the safety of my staff. If you have an emergency and need to see me, I will make sure that I find time to see you for a one-on-one appointment. We will also be setting up telemedicine visits for non-urgent follow ups.

If you need to speak to the office regarding a non-urgent issue, please call us on the office line at 941-260-4440. If you have an emergency and need to speak to me directly, you can always reach me on my mobile phone at 941-275-5777. Please only use this number for extremely serious issues.

We as health care professionals in this country are among the world’s very best and we will be working tirelessly to help all of you get through this difficult time.

REMEMBER: wash your hands regularly, cover your face and mouth when you cough, avoid gatherings of large people (ideally less than 10), make sure you stock food, water, and prescription and non-prescription medicines for a couple of weeks, stay home if you are sick, and don’t go to the hospital or
ER unless you are having trouble breathing or having a very high fever.

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON!

Matt
