Dr. Sexton attended Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina as a scholar-athlete and graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology. While at Furman, he was a member of Furman’s National Championship football team. He attended Emory University’s School of Medicine on an Air Force sponsored Health Professions Scholarship and then completed his general surgery and urology residency training at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Following the completion of his residency, Dr. Sexton entered active duty military service with the United States Air Force and while on active duty, was selected to perform a Fellowship in Urologic Oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. From 2001-2004, he served as Director of Urologic Oncology with the 59th Medical Wing at Wilford Hall USAF Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. Thereafter, he joined Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida, where he is now a Senior Member in the Department of Genitourinary Oncology and a Professor in the Department of Oncologic Sciences with the University of South Florida. Since 2008, he has served as Director of the Society of Urologic Oncology accredited fellowship at Moffitt Cancer Center. Dr. Sexton has held several leadership positions at Moffitt including an extended service on the Medical Executive Committee culminating as President of the Medical Staff from 2014-2016. He is a 2014 graduate of the inaugural Moffitt Cancer Center Leadership Academy. He has served in different capacities with the Florida Urologic Society (FUS) including president of the FUS from 2015-2016. He is a long-term member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines panel for bladder and penile cancers, a faculty member for the American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Board Review Course (testicular cancer), and holds membership on both the Fellowship Committee and the Board of Directors for the Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO). He is primary investigator and collaborator on numerous clinical trials and grant funded translational studies, has authored over 100 manuscripts and book chapters, and maintains an extremely busy clinical practice focused towards bladder, kidney and testicular malignancies. Dr. Sexton has a special interest in minimally invasive kidney-sparing procedures, bladder reconstruction and nerve preservation surgery, as well as advanced urologic laparoscopic procedures. He was awarded a Meritorious Service Medal while on active duty with the United States Air Force. In 2013, it was a tremendous honor for him to be recognized as an MD Anderson Cancer Center Distinguished Alumnus. He has been recognized as a Top Doctor in Tampa Bay and repeatedly as one of America’s Top Physicians, Top Surgeons and Top Doctors for Cancer.

345 patients rated this provider

The Provider Rating is an average of all responses to specific care provider-related questions from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. These surveys assess the experience of our patients when visiting us for an Outpatient Clinic, Urgent Care or Virtual Health (Telemedicine) visit. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.

Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.

Comments ()

Comments are gathered from specific care provider-related questions from our Patient Satisfaction Survey . The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.

We post both positive and negative comments from the surveys. We do not post comments that are libelous, slanderous, profane, irrelevant or otherwise inappropriate or may risk the privacy of our patients. A “[…]” in the comments below indicates de-identified patient information or comments that are unrelated to the patient’s experience with the visit to the provider, such as comments related to another provider, about the survey itself, or otherwise completely off-topic.

Not all providers will have a star rating or comments. In order to ensure accuracy of our ratings, we only display ratings for providers who have a minimum of 30 completed from the previous 12 months.

Provider Ratings and comments are gathered from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. If a provider does not have ratings or comments listed it can be for several reasons, including:

  • The provider has not yet received the minimum number of patient satisfaction surveys to be eligible for display. We require a minimum of 30 surveys before we post results to ensure that the rating is statistically reliable and a true reflection of patient satisfaction.
  • He or she may be a researcher or other type of provider that does not see patients.
  • The provider practices in a specialty or office that does not use the specified surveys currently used for these ratings.
