Clinical Faculty: John S. Wheeler, M.D.
Professor of Urology
Director, Multidisciplinary Continence Clinic

Philosophy of Patient Care: I have been managing patients with urological conditions, primarily voiding dysfunction, for almost 20 years.

I will do my best to the full extent of my abilities to evaluate and treat the patient.

Every patient is different and has a unique set of circumstances that they bring to us. Each patient warrants my undivided attention.


There are some patients that I will not be able to make much progress with and sometimes I have to accept the fact that we can only improve them, not make them perfect.

Bio: Dr. Wheeler grew up in New England and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology with honors at Dartmouth College, and later graduated from Georgetown University Medical School in 1977 with honors. He began his urology residency with two years of preliminary general surgery at Boston University Medical Center and then completed four years of training at Boston University Medical Center, specializing in urology. The last year he completed a neurourology research fellowship, specifically focusing on urodynamics and managing patients with difficult voiding dysfunction and neurogenic bladder.

He has been on faculty at Loyola University Medical Center and Hines VA Hospital since 1983, attaining the rank of full professor in urology and developing an expertise in managing neurourology voiding dysfunction and urinary incontinence. This expertise led to the formation of a female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery program in conjunction with Dr. Linda Brubaker here at Loyola University Medical Center.
