About Me
David Thomas Price, MD, is a urologic oncologist who recognizes the complex issues his patients face that generate considerable stress. He likes guiding patients to the best healthcare decision for their situation so they can add more life to their years. Dr. Price enjoys developing long-term relationships and becoming friends with his patients, humbled when they put their life in his hands for surgery.
A native of Minden, Dr. Price earned a Bachelor of Science degree at Northeast Louisiana University in Monroe (now ULM), and a Doctor of Medicine degree at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center-Shreveport School of Medicine. He completed medical school as a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, a distinction reserved for the top 10% of medical graduates. Dr. Price found his specialty during his general surgery residency at Duke University Medical Center and he went on to pursue training in urologic surgery. He also completed a fellowship in urologic oncology at Duke University, and he was an American Foundation of Urological Disease Research Scholar. Dr. Price finds satisfaction helping patients diagnosed with various types of urinary cancer.
Called to help people with cancer at a very young age, Dr. Price provides surgical care for patients with benign and malignant diseases of the urinary system. He was a pioneer of robotic surgery and helped establish the first robotic surgery program in Shreveport in 2003. Dr. Price has more than 28 years’ experience performing complex urologic cancer surgical procedures and more than 20 years performing robotic surgical procedures. In addition to urologic cancer he provides treatment for general urology problems, including BPH and kidney stones. He is board certified in urology (American Board of Urology) and he is a fellow of the Society of Urologic Oncology.
Away from the clinic and operating room, Dr. Price is a man of faith who enjoys spending time at his Texas farm gardening, building things from wood or metal, and planting food plots for deer. He especially enjoys time with his grandsons, letting them help with farm projects that involve running heavy equipment like dozers, excavators and skid steer. His wife, Tina, is a urology nurse practitioner who joins him in the clinic and in surgery. They have two sons and daughters-in-law and two grandsons.
