Biographies“I treat patients as I would like my family members treated,” says Dr. Logue. Dr. Logue is a board-certified urologist with special training in laser surgery and microsurgery. He is a recognized expert in kidney stone disease and prevention, prostate enlargement, and vasectomy reversal. As a “founding father” of Summit Urology, Dr. Logue has worked tirelessly for more than 12 years to raise the standard of urologic care in Indiana. He’s a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and the Indiana University School of Medicine. His initial general surgery training was at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. He completed his residency in urologic surgery at George Washington University Medical Center in Washington, D.C. Currently, he is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a member of the American Academy of Clinical Urologists and the Indiana State Medical Association. He is also a clinical assistant professor of urology at the Indiana University School of Medicine. But that’s not all—Dr. Logue has shared his expertise with those less fortunate around the world and worked at a mission hospital in Pakistan. Dr. Logue and his wife have a young daughter. In his free time—when he can find some—Dr. Logue enjoys scuba diving and motorcycles. Dr. Smith has been with Summit Urology since 1994. He is board-certified in urology and specializes in treating prostate cancer, bladder cancer and kidney stones. He is a member of the American Urological Association and the American Medical Association. He has advanced training in endourology and perineal prostatectomy. He is a fellow in the American College of Surgeons and is a clinical assistant professor of urology at Indiana University School of Medicine. In addition, he is associated with prostate cancer treatment at the Midwest Proton Radiotherapy Institute. After graduating from Northwestern University and the Indiana University School of Medicine, he completed his general surgery residency and his urology residency at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. While a resident, he authored or co-authored twelve scientific articles and book chapters. Dr. Smith is also a history buff, tennis player and fisherman, but perhaps his most defining job is being a father to three small children. Dr. Walker’s dedication to improving quality of life is what makes him a dedicated leader at Summit Urology. Initially drawn into medicine because of family ties and an interest in biological sciences, he admits that the most rewarding part of his career is “improving the quality and length of patient’s lives so they can enjoy their families more.” Dr. Walker’s vast career also demonstrates this commitment to improving life. After obtaining his degree at the Indiana University School of Medicine, he completed his residency at Southern Illinois University. Dr. Walker maintained a private practice for 13 years before joining Summit Urology. He specializes in brachytherapy (radioactive seed implants) for prostate cancer, prostate cancer, renal cancer and laproscopy. He is also credited with performing the first laparoscopic nephrectomy in Indiana. In addition to practicing medicine, Dr. Walker is an assistant clinical professor in urology at Indiana University School of Medicine. As a man of medicine and faith, Dr. Walker takes to heart the words of Jesus, “If you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.” His approach to patient care (and other daily responsibilities) clearly reflects his commitment to caring for people as a medical professional and a Christian. In his free time, Dr. Walker takes advantage of the great outdoors—hunting, fishing, photography and videotaping nesting activities of bald eagles on Lake Monroe. He and his wife, Vicky, have three sons. Dr. Hoff is a self-proclaimed perfectionist, who always knew he wanted to be a doctor. He’s been with Summit Urology since 2002, and he particularly enjoys “the warm smile and kind words of a patient whose life has improved as the result of something that I have done for them.” As a board-certified urologist, Dr. Hoff has a keen interest in urinary incontinence and prostate and bladder cancer, and has special training in laparoscopy, microsurgery, laser treatments, endourology, sacral nerve stimulation and more. At Summit, he specializes in female urinary incontinence. He is a member of the American Urological Association, The North Central American Urological Association and the Indiana State Medical Association. Dr. Hoff graduated from Indiana University Medical School in Indianapolis and completed his residency at the University of South Florida in Tampa. If you enjoy the outdoors, you may see Dr. Hoff participating in one of his many outdoor hobbies, such as boating, rollerblading, fishing or gardening. The intellectual challenge of being a doctor attracted Dr. Gray to the medical field, and during his career he has taken on many challenges. However, it’s the joy of being able to help people with their medical problems that he likes most about his profession. He’s very active in the medical community as a member of the American Urological Association, the Indiana State Medical Association, the Morgan County Medical Society, the Monroe County Medical Society and the American Academy of Clinical Urologists. Currently, he participates in an experimental program for failed radiation-treated prostate cancer with a combination of HDR brachytherapy and microwave therapy. Dr. Gray is a graduate of Butler University and the Indiana University School of Medicine. He completed his internship at the IU Medical Center and his residency in surgery and urology at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. Dr. Gray and his wife have three grown children, including a daughter who joined the medical field as an anesthesiologist. In his time off, Dr. Gray enjoys golfing and photography, and in line with his love of helping people, he also spends time volunteering with anti-smoking programs.
“My grandmother always said, ‘You learn something new everyday,’” says physician assistant David Elkin. Through his career span of nearly nine years at Summit Urology, David seems to have taken this advice to heart, specializing in a variety of areas, such as men’s health, erectile dysfunction, incontinence and prostatitis. However, it’s David’s interest in people that keeps him focused in his position, enjoying “the opportunity to interact with people and help them through difficult problems.” David obtained a bachelor of science from Indiana University and a graduate degree from Cook County Medical Center Physician Program in Chicago. He is currently a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants and the Indiana Academy of Physician Assistants. He is also certified by the National Commission for the Certification of Physician Assistants. In addition to working with Summit, David is a second-year urology lecturer at Indiana University School of Medicine. Aside from his medical expertise, David is also knowledgeable about marine reef keeping and scuba diving. In his spare time he enjoys long-distance cycling. David is married and has two children.
Cheryl Pittsford feels the most rewarding aspect of her career in medicine is “knowing that I can make a positive difference in a patient’s daily life, whether it is a kidney stone, recurrent urinary tract infection, helping stop incontinence, or helping a patient and their family deal with an end-stage cancer.” She worked for a family practice for three years prior to joining Summit Urology. Cheryl also brings a diverse educational background to Summit, which includes a bachelor of science in biology, bachelor of science in physician assistant studies, and master of science in athletic training. Born and raised in Ellettsville, Indiana, Cheryl was drawn to medicine because she was always interested in science. “I like to help people and solve problems,” Cheryl says of her career choice. She is certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants and also a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants as well as the Indiana Academy of Physician Assistants. Cheryl and her husband, Jerry, have two sons. In her free time, she enjoys sports, reading, fishing and traveling. |
