Dr. Boutrous graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelor of Science, then went to Medical School at Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine. After a one-year Internship at Providence Hospital, he served two years as a flight surgeon for the United States Air Force. He completed his General Surgery Residency at Mt. Carmel Hospital and his Urology Residency was completed at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.

Dr. Boutrous’s expertise is in treating kidney stones that are too large to pass on their own. He specializes in extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) which uses sound waves to create strong vibrations (shock waves) to break stones into tiny pieces. The pieces can be passed in the patient’s urine providing much-needed relief.
