Urologist Dr. Ali Tourchi has joined AdventHealth Medical Group and will perform procedures at AdventHealth Palm Coast and AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway.
As an AdventHealth Medical Group team member, Tourchi joins more than 400 health care providers, including 250 primary care physicians and specialists in Flagler, Lake and Volusia counties.
Tourchi specializes in performing minimally invasive surgery and treating kidney stones, enlarged prostates, sexual and erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, male infertility and vasectomies, and cancer of the kidney, ureter, bladder and prostate.
“We are excited to welcome Dr. Tourchi,” said Ilene Gilbert-Droge, CEO of AdventHealth Medical Group operations in Flagler, Lake and Volusia counties. “He is our first employed urologist in Flagler County and will help fill the gap for a specialty in great need in Palm Coast.”

He also completed a urology residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, Arkansas.

“I am thrilled to join AdventHealth, which is experiencing significant growth and is committed to providing state-of-the-art urological care to the community,” Tourchi said. “I have a special interest in minimally invasive urological surgery and men’s health, and I am confident that I can make a significant contribution to the hospital’s mission. Joining AdventHealth was an easy decision for me, and I am thrilled to become part of this wonderful community.”
