FORT LAUDERDALE (March 2, 2022) – Solaris Health Holdings announced today that Advanced Urology Institute (AUI), the leading urology practice in Florida, has joined Solaris as an affiliate practice. Terms have not been disclosed.
The addition of AUI continues in 2022 the expansion momentum Solaris established in 2021 when the platform welcomed six new affiliate practices. Solaris, the nation’s leading provider of urological services, now comprises 500 providers and serves 730,000 unique annual patients.
AUI provides exceptional and innovative urologic care to patients throughout Florida, with specialists located in Ocala, Panama City, Tallahassee, Daytona Beach, Pinellas, and Southwest Florida markets.

Solaris has a clear vision to develop a national practice predicated on clinical excellence and business best practices. The urology practices that join Solaris are choosing to scale nationally and to maintain high standards of patient care. They also are gaining access to resources needed to successfully navigate an increasingly complex and consolidated health care system.
"In just eight years, AUI has grown to become the largest, fully integrated urology practice in the Southeastern United States,” said Dr. Scott Sellinger, AUI President. “By teaming up with our like-minded colleagues at Solaris, we now have even greater opportunities for further growth and advancement of our mission to provide the highest level of patient-centered urological care in our region,” he said.
