Dr. Christopher Hollowell is originally from the Motor City, where he received his undergraduate and medical degrees from Wayne state University. He came to South Florida in 1993 to attend his surgical internship in residency and urologic surgery at the University of Miami / Jackson Memorial Hospitals. After completion of his residency, he moved to Detroit and joined his father's urology practice. "My father has taught me many things, most notably in the yd of Medicine, and that you can heal as many patients with respect and compassion as you can with a scalpel. Simply showing you care can make a profound difference in patient's lives." The family legacy in Urology extends to his brother who is the chairman of Urology at Cook County Hospital in Chicago Illinois. Dr. Hollowell was awarded clinical assistant professorships in both Urology and Gynecology with Wayne State University, Michigan State University, Florida Atlantic University, and Nova Southeastern University.
His clinical focus is in female Urology, genital cosmetic surgery, male and female voiding dysfunction, Pediatric Urology, and minimally invasive surgeries. He specializes in complex pelvic floor reconstruction deploying the latest minimally invasive techniques and robotic technologies. His enthusiasm for teaching and proficiency of surgery has earned him top honors by his medical students, residents, colleagues, and patients. Dr. Hollowell is a board-certified diplomat in the American board of Urology and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He has a member of the American Urologic Association, the society for urodynamics in female Urology, Southeastern Urologic Section, Society of Benign Prostatic Disease, Florida Urology Society, and Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. He is most known for minimally invasive BPH procedures (MIST), UROLIFT, REZUM, iTind, and Optilume/BPH. Patients come from all over the world to have these procedures performed. Center of Excellence (COE) is a rare award that is bestowed to a physician who is highly experienced, provides exemplary care, and committed to patient education.
