Boone is a professor in the Urology Department, Chief Education Officer at the Houston Methodist Academic Institute, and a member of the Neurological Institute at Houston Methodist Hospital. He is a professor of urology at Weill Cornell Medical College and holds positions as Associate Dean and Clinical Professor of Urology at Texas A&M College of Medicine. Dr. Boone earned his medical degree, Master of Science in physiology and doctorate in neuroscience at the University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at Houston. He completed his urology residency training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. In 1991, he joined the faculty in the Department of Urology at the University of Texas Southwestern for two years and then moved to Baylor College of Medicine where he joined the Scott Department of Urology. In 2000, Dr. Boone was named professor and chair of the Scott Department of Urology where he served until 2008.
For over 30 years he actively participated in the care of spinal cord injured veterans with neurogenic bladder dysfunction at the VA Spinal Cord Injury Unit in Dallas and in Houston. Boone specializes in the treatment of patients with incontinence following prostatectomy, women with complex voiding disorders, and bladder problems related to neurologic disease including spinal cord injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. He maintained active participation in research throughout his career, focused on mechanisms of sensory control and dysfunction in the bladder and urethra related to spinal cord injury, diabetes or obstruction. He closed his lab in 2018 to focus on medical education.
Throughout his career Dr. Boone has written over 140 peer-reviewed publications and given hundreds of lectures regionally and nationally while serving as a visiting professor for many departments of urology. He is a member of the American Association of Genitourinary Surgeons, Clinical Society of GU Surgeons, American Urological Association, Texas Urological Society, Society for Neuroscience, Society for Urodynamics, Female Urology, Urogenital Reconstruction, and the AOA Honor Medical Society. He serves as consultant reviewer for several scientific journals including Neurourology and Urodynamics, Journal of Urology, British Journal of Urology, Urology, Spinal Cord, and the New England Journal of Medicine. He is on the editorial board of Nature Reviews in Urology. Dr. Boone was elected as a Trustee to the American Board of Urology in 2006 and served as President of the American Board of Urology from 2011 - 2012.
