As urologists, our physicians are highly trained to treat disorders of the male and female urinary tract (bladder, ureter, kidney, and urethra) and the male reproductive system. Urology is classified as a surgical subspecialty, but since a wide variety of clinical problems are encountered when treating urological conditions, knowledge of internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, and other specialties is required.

Our medical staff includes the following physicians:

• Nabil Hilwa, M.D., F.I.C.S.
• Jacqueline Williams, M.D., F.A.C.S.
• Troy K. Edwards, M.D., PhD.

All our physicians maintain active privileges at Health Central Hospital, Dr. P. Phillips Hospital, and South Lake Hospital.
