Bevan Choate

Dr. Bevan Choate is a urologist, artist, and author of The Stroke Artist, a self-penned story that speaks to all who have, at one time or another, faced and then overcome life’s unplanned obstacles. Just when Dr. Choate had found his stride as a successful surgeon, he suffered a stroke, and the music stopped. Overnight, he went from the ship’s captain to a passenger floating aimlessly at sea. His story is one of grit and the determination to be better—despite the odds. Dr. Choate received his medical doctorate from Texas Tech Health Sciences Center and completed a five-year residency through the University of New Mexico Hospitals. He now lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with his wife and dog Indi and pursues painting, fly fishing, and urology.
