Joshua Heiman, MD

Joshua M. Heiman, M.D., is a fellowship-trained urologist at Baptist Health Urology, specializing in endourology and minimally invasive urologic surgery. He focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of kidney stones, benign prostatic enlargement, prostate cancer, renal masses and other conditions affecting the urinary and reproductive systems.

Dr. Heiman has advanced training in holmium laser enucleation of the prostate — a highly effective, minimally invasive procedure for patients with very large prostates — as well as percutaneous nephrolithotomy, a specialized technique used to treat large or complex kidney stones. He also received extensive fellowship training in robotic-assisted urologic surgery, with a focus on minimally invasive procedures for conditions involving the kidneys, prostate and bladder.

After earning a master’s degree in biotechnology at Rush University in Chicago, Dr. Heiman earned his medical degree at Florida Atlantic University Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine in Boca Raton. He completed a five-year residency in urology at Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis. During his residency, he served as a robotics education curriculum coordinator in the Department of Urology. His post-doctoral training also includes a fellowship in endourology and minimally invasive surgery at the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville.

Dr. Heiman has published his research findings in medical journals and presented his work at national and international scientific symposiums. He is a member of the American Urologic Association and the Endourological Society.

Through open communication and shared decision-making, Dr. Heiman builds trust with his patients and their family members and works closely with them to develop personalized care plans that align with their values and goals. This patient-centered care approach allows for a more comprehensive, thoughtful and effective treatment experience.

When he is not treating patients, Dr. Heiman cherishes spending time with his family and Golden Retriever, Indy. He enjoys being outdoors, playing sports and cheering on the University of Michigan and Chicago sports teams.
