Located at 1216 N University Dr, Suite 1, in the heart of the Plantation Key Office Park, the practice of Dr. Daniel N. Ead, MD, FACS is a center of surgical excellence. A board-certified urologist and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, Dr. Ead is a "Global Citizen" of medicine—born in Georgia but raised largely abroad, bringing a culturally nuanced, multilingual approach (fluent in English, Spanish, and Arabic) to the diverse community of Plantation.
The "Robotic Virtuoso" of Plantation
What makes Dr. Ead a standout in Broward County is his mastery of minimally invasive technology. Trained on the high-precision da Vinci® Robotic System, he specializes in complex robotic prostatectomies and reconstructive kidney procedures. His practice is a local referral hub where other urologists often send their most complicated surgical cases for his expert hands.
Why Ead Urology is a Specialist Landmark
The "BPH" Innovation Center: Dr. Ead is at the forefront of treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) using "heat-free" and "steam-based" technologies. He offers both Rezum™ Water Vapor Therapy (performed in-office under local anesthesia) and the Urolift® system, allowing men to find relief without the side effects of traditional surgery.
Pelvic Floor Reconstruction: Beyond men’s health, Dr. Ead is a specialist in Female Urology. He is known for his skill in pelvic floor reconstructive surgery to treat bladder prolapse and stress urinary incontinence, offering "vaginal sling" procedures that help women regain their quality of life with minimal downtime.
Prostate Cancer Research Pedigree: Before his surgical career, Dr. Ead spent a year conducting basic science cancer research at Emory University’s Winship Cancer Center. This deep scientific background informs his "detective-like" approach to prostate cancer screening and treatment today.
Kidney Stone Destroyer: He offers the full spectrum of stone management, from Shock Wave Lithotripsy to Holmium Laser destruction. Crucially, he doesn't stop at removal; he works with patients on metabolic and dietary modifications to ensure stones never return.
The "Personable Physician": Despite his high-tech surgical background, Dr. Ead is frequently cited in reviews for his "down-to-earth" spirit. He is a doctor who takes the time to explain the "why" behind every procedure, treating patients like extended members of his own family.
The Atmosphere
"It is a professional, high-energy, and welcoming medical sanctuary—a place where the clinical precision of robotic surgery is balanced by a doctor who values a direct, personable, and empathetic conversation."
The vibe at the University Drive office is efficient and family-centric. The office operates with a "Patient First" philosophy, offering early morning appointments starting at 7:30 AM to accommodate professionals and families before the traditional workday begins.
Pro-Tips for the New Patient
The "Biopsy" Rule: Note that Dr. Ead has a strict policy regarding sensitive results: Biopsy results are never given over the phone. He believes these discussions require a face-to-face consultation to ensure all questions are answered and a roadmap for care is clearly established.
Affiliations of Excellence: Dr. Ead is a primary surgeon at HCA Florida Westside Hospital, located just minutes from his office. This allows for seamless continuity if you require a hospital-based procedure.
Telehealth Convenience: For routine follow-ups or initial consultations regarding stones or BPH, the office offers Telehealth appointments, saving you a trip through Plantation traffic.
Parking Logistics: Located in the Plantation Key Office Park, there is ample free parking. However, the office park is large—look for the "Ead Urology" signage near Suite 1 to ensure you’re at the correct entrance.
