Bringing Advanced Robotic and Minimally Invasive Urologic Care to the Acadiana Region
(YourDigitalWall Editorial):- Lafayette, Louisiana May 19, 2026 (Issuewire.com) – Seth Guilbeau, MD, is a urologist practicing in Lafayette, Louisiana, with Southern Urology, a leading multidisciplinary practice of approximately 15 urologists and advanced practice providers dedicated to providing specialized care for a broad range of urologic conditions. Early in his professional career, Dr. Guilbeau is already building a reputation for combining advanced surgical techniques with compassionate, patient-centered care.
Dr. Guilbeau’s clinical interests include robotic-assisted surgery, stone disease management, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) treatment, and advanced therapies for overactive bladder. Robotic surgery is a particular area of focus, allowing him to perform minimally invasive procedures with enhanced precision, smaller incisions, and improved recovery experiences for patients. He is also committed to expanding access to third-line therapies for overactive bladder, an area he believes has historically lacked sufficient treatment availability in his region.
Dr. Guilbeau earned his Doctor of Medicine Degree from the LSU Health Sciences Center in May 2020. He then completed his urology residency at the University of Tennessee Medical Center through the Graduate School of Medicine, where he trained from July 2020 through June 2025. His residency provided extensive experience in both general and complex urologic care, helping prepare him for a career focused on advanced surgical management and comprehensive patient treatment.
Now practicing in Lafayette, Dr. Guilbeau is affiliated with both Ochsner Lafayette General Hospital and Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center. Through these affiliations, he treats patients facing a wide range of urologic concerns while working collaboratively with healthcare teams to ensure high-quality outcomes and continuity of care.
For Dr. Guilbeau, the decision to pursue medicine was deeply personal. His brother was diagnosed with Friedreich’s ataxia, a rare neurological disorder that inspired him to enter medicine so he could help others on a meaningful and personal level. That experience shaped both his perspective on patient care and his commitment to supporting individuals and families facing difficult medical challenges.
When reflecting on what he enjoys most about practicing medicine, Dr. Guilbeau points to the direct impact he can make in patients’ lives through surgery and procedural care.
“I think it’s really the immediate gratification that I get from a lot of patients after doing their procedures, and knowing that I’ve been able to help them, sometimes even in a small way, almost immediately,” says Dr. Guilbeau. “I feel like a lot of times in some areas of medicine, you’re prescribing medicine and hoping things work, but with a surgical field, you have more of that immediate gratification and really feel like you’ve put your hands on the patient and played a major role in their health and recovery.”
Looking ahead, Dr. Guilbeau hopes to continue building a long-term career serving the people of Acadiana. Dedicated to advancing urologic care in the region, he remains focused on providing innovative treatment options, personalized care, and lasting support to the Lafayette community he proudly calls home.
