He also serves as the Chief of Urology at Baylor St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital, and as Director of the Main Operating Room at Houston Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas. 

In 1992, Dr. Sutton attended the University of Washington School of Medicine and earned his medical degree. He then went on to complete his residency in urology at the Baylor College of Medicine in 1998.

Patients may be referred to a urologist if their physician suspects they may need treatment for a condition relating to the bladder, urethra, ureters, kidneys, and adrenal glands. “I firmly believe in treating patients like I would like to be treated – with respect, kindness, humor when appropriate, and with the best, most up-to-date urological techniques available. I will treat you as I would treat my own family member and will take the time to listen to your issues.
