The incoming physician will join a practice where staff relationships are long-standing and the culture is collaborative and grounded.
Physician Staff
Achal Pankaj Modi, MD Urology | Board Certified, American Board of Urology
Dr. Modi completed his medical degree at Ohio State University College of Medicine, where he served as class president. He completed his urology residency at Ohio State and The James Cancer Hospital, where he also published research on minimally invasive treatments for urologic diseases. He has practiced in the Waxahachie community for over ten years and has developed one of the most active urology practices in Ellis County.
His clinical focus includes:
- Kidney stones
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
- Prostate cancer and elevated PSA management
- Bladder cancer
- Female urinary dysfunction
- Vasectomy
Dr. Modi is trained in robotic surgery but does not currently perform robotic cases due to clinic volume demands. He has expressed strong interest in partnering with a physician who can bring robotic surgical capability to the practice, which would allow the team to retain complex oncology cases currently being referred to Fort Worth.
Clinical Support
The clinical support team has been in place for nearly a decade. Dr. Modi's medical assistants have worked with him for most of his time in the community, reflecting a stable and experienced team. Leadership noted this consistency as a meaningful part of the practice culture.
Team Culture
Leadership and Dr. Modi both emphasized that personality fit is a priority in this search. The practice values:
- Collaborative, team-first approach to patient care
- Mutual respect between physicians and staff
- Willingness to share cases and patient volume
- Long-term commitment to the community
Dr. Modi has indicated he is fully open to transferring cases to a new partner, particularly those that fall within a subspecialty area such as robotics or oncology.
