Joseph Gauta MD FACOG

Joseph Gauta, MD, FACOG is the founder of The Florida Bladder Institute, the region’s premier urogynecology practice specializing in treating women with urinary incontinence, bladder and bowel dysfunction, pelvic floor disorders, organ prolapse, pelvic floor reconstruction, and a variety of other complex women’s health issues.

The Florida Bladder Institute was born out of Dr. Gauta’s keen observation and the desire to fulfill an unmet need of women suffering with complex pelvic health issues. During his 19 years of practice as a board certified specialist in obstetrics and gynecology and in FPMRS, Dr. Gauta saw many of his patients suffer with incontinence, bladder and pelvic disorders resulting from childbirth, aging and disease.

Dr. Gauta realized that women would benefit greatly and achieve great outcomes by treating these problems with an organized and comprehensive approach rather than as individual issues. Using his expertise and resources, a full complement of the most advanced technologies and his skilled team of physicians and nurses, Dr. Gauta established the Florida Bladder Institute which continually delivers the highest quality care with compassion, discretion and dignity to their patients. They offer a full array of the latest diagnostic, therapeutic, rehabilitative and surgical techniques in comfortable and convenient settings all with the goal of helping women regain control and reclaim their freedom. He remains an independent practitioner, employed by neither the hospitals nor the insurance companies.

Dr. Gauta is certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the subspecialty of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (Urogynecology).  He is a member of the Society of Laparo-endoscopic Surgeons, American Urogynecologic Society, the International Urogynecologic Society and the International Continence Society. Joseph Gauta, MD, FACOG served as one of only 50 instructors in the nation on the teaching faculty of Boston Scientific’s prestigious Pelvic Floor Institute, and currently provides education and training to Urologists, Surgical Gynecologists, and Urogynecologists from throughout the world.

He is ranked by Press-Ganey in the top 1% of physicians in the nation for Patient Satisfaction. Since being consistently honored with the Vitals.com Patient's Choice Award since 2008, an award reflecting excellence in care, he now ranks in the top 1% of all physicians in the country as receiving the Patient's Choice Award five years in a row. He is a recipient of the prestigious Lewis I. Post Award for Surgical Excellence.

In addition to his practice responsibilities, Dr. Gauta is active in shaping the future of healthcare in our region. He is an active member of the Florida Medical Association and is past president of the Collier County Medical Society. He earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from Albany Medical College, New York and completed his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Urogynecology training from Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans.

He is the proud father of two sons and a daughter and resides in Naples with his wife, Sue.
