Dr. Sutton is a board-certified urologist who is affiliated with Houston Metro Urology in Houston, Texas. “We are the largest urology practice in the greater Houston area with 10 convenient locations to offer you comprehensive, one-stop urological services, including laboratory testing, imaging, radiation treatment, voiding dysfunction center, and many more dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of your urological health needs” as stated on the practice’s website. 

Currently, Dr. Sutton serves as an Associate Clinical Professor of Urology in the Scott Department of Urology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. 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.

Dr. Sutton is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.

Dr. Sutton is board-certified in urology by the American Board of Urology (ABU).

Urology, also known as genitourinary surgery, is the branch of medicine that focuses on surgical and medical diseases of the male and female urinary-tract system and the male reproductive organs. Urologists, like Dr. Sutton, specialize in diseases of the urinary tract and the male reproductive system. 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. I will be your partner in your urologic care and will take the time to explain the options available so together we can best take care of your needs” as stated by Dr. Sutton.
