Dr. Broughton is a board-certified urologist with over 15 years in practice, focused on one thing: delivering excellent patient outcomes. That means combining rigorous Vanderbilt training, thousands of surgical cases, and smart use of technology that actually improves care — not just adds complexity.
He is a member of our Advanced Prostate Cancer Clinic team.
For Dr. Broughton, good care isn’t enough. He aims for excellent care — accurate diagnosis, clear treatment options, and outcomes that matter to you. He uses technology when it makes a real difference: robotic surgery for precision, AI documentation tools that free up time for patients, and clinical evidence systems that inform better decisions. If a tool improves outcomes or communication, he’s inclined to use it. If it doesn’t, he passes.
About Dr. Broughton
He completed his medical education at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in 2007, followed by residency training in urology at Vanderbilt. Since then, he’s built a comprehensive urology practice in Cincinnati, treating everything from routine conditions to complex surgical cases. 
Before anything else, Dr. Broughton says he’s a husband and father. His personal mission is simple: work more efficiently so I can be more present at home.
That drive shapes how he practices medicine. He believes the time he saves through better systems, smarter tools, and streamlined workflows isn’t just professional efficiency — it’s time he gets back with his wife and kids.
When we’re not in clinic mode, his family loves adventure travel and trying new experiences together. Whether it’s ziplining through the rainforest or exploring a new city, they believe in making memories that matter.
Certifications and Memberships
Dr. Broughton is certified by the American Board of Urology.
Specialties
His clinical focus spans the full spectrum of urologic care: robotic surgery, prostate cancer treatment, men’s health, overactive bladder management, and minimally invasive procedures. He has been performing robotic surgery since 2007 and have completed thousands of robotic cases using the da Vinci platform.
Dr. Broughton is particularly interested in how emerging technologies — AI scribes, clinical decision support, workflow automation — can improve both surgical outcomes and the overall patient experience. Several of his research publications focus on surgical outcomes and clinical innovation.
- Enlarged Prostate
- Men’s Sexual Health
- Overactive Bladder
- Robotic Surgery
- Urologic Cancers

Robotic Surgery Experience
He has been performing robotic surgery since 2007 and have completed thousands of robotic cases. In urology, robotic-assisted surgery can support minimally invasive approaches with enhanced visualization, precision, and control for appropriate patients.
He uses robotic techniques across a wide spectrum of urologic procedures, including prostate and kidney surgery, with treatment plans tailored to each patient’s condition and goals.
Common Robotic Urology Procedures
- Robotic radical prostatectomy
- Robotic partial nephrectomy
- Robotic pyeloplasty
- Robotic nephroureterectomy
- Robotic cystectomy (selected patients)
- Robotic sacrocolpopexy (selected patients)
