Robert L Waterhouse Jr., MD, MBA, HSM

Vice President

Robert L Waterhouse Jr., MD MBA HSM attended Northwestern University for his undergraduate and medical school education. He completed urology training at Case Western University Hospitals of Cleveland for both residency and a fellowship in stone disease. After finishing training, he initially followed an academic career path with the Urology Department at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. There he became the director of Minimally Invasive Urologic Surgery and Stone Disease. He elected to leave academic medicine in 1999 to start an independent practice of urology in the greater Charlotte metropolitan area. He was the inaugural President and managing partner of his urology group through 2011, until the practice merged with other regional urology groups to form a largest urology group in the Carolinas. The larger group fostered the opportunity to become more involved in health care management as the Chief Medical Officer and clinical research, largely in the area of prostate cancer as the group’s research champion. He pursued additional management skills by attending Duke’s University Fuqua School of Business for an MBA and Health Sector Management, with completion in 2016. In 2017, he chose to broaden his pursuit of health care management through transitioning to a role in population health management with a health insurance company and currently works as a Lead Medical Director for Blue Cross of NC.
