Find & Book a Urologist

Urology covers the urinary tract in everyone and the reproductive system in men, which means a urologist handles a wide range that includes kidney stones, recurring urinary tract infections, an enlarged or inflamed prostate, blood in the urine, incontinence, and male fertility or erectile concerns. Many of these problems share symptoms but have very different causes, so a specialist who can run the right imaging, urine, and flow tests gets you to an accurate diagnosis faster than guessing through repeated antibiotic courses. Urologists are also surgeons, so the same doctor who diagnoses a stone or a tumor can often treat it, whether through medication, a minimally invasive procedure, or surgery. Conditions like prostate changes after 50 or stones that keep coming back usually need ongoing management rather than a one-time fix, which makes the relationship with your urologist matter. OpenMyPro connects you with verified urologists and kidney health specialists you can compare and book online.

What to look for in a urologist

• ✓Board certification from the American Board of Urology (ABU), and a subspecialty focus that matches your issue, such as endourology for stones, urologic oncology for tumors, or male infertility.
• ✓In-office diagnostic tools like ultrasound, cystoscopy, and uroflowmetry, so the first visit can produce real answers instead of just a referral elsewhere.
• ✓Experience with minimally invasive options, including laser stone treatment, UroLift or Rezum for an enlarged prostate, and robotic surgery, if a procedure becomes likely.
• ✓For men's health concerns, a urologist who regularly treats fertility, low testosterone, or erectile dysfunction rather than handling them only occasionally.
• ✓Telehealth availability for test-result reviews and follow-ups, with clear guidance on which visits still need to be in person.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I see a urologist instead of my primary care doctor?

See a urologist if you have blood in your urine, kidney stones that keep returning, urinary infections that do not clear with standard antibiotics, trouble urinating or a weak stream, leaking or incontinence, or prostate, fertility, or erectile concerns. Your primary care doctor can handle a first simple UTI, but recurring, severe, or unexplained urinary symptoms are the urologist's specialty.

What happens at a first urology appointment?

The urologist reviews your symptoms and history, then usually collects a urine sample and may do a physical exam, including a prostate check for men. Depending on the issue they might perform a bladder ultrasound, a flow test, or an in-office cystoscopy to look inside the bladder. Many people leave the first visit with a working diagnosis and a clear next step.

Do I need a referral to see a urologist?

It depends on your insurance plan. Some plans let you book a urologist directly, while HMO-style plans often require a referral from your primary care doctor first. Check your coverage before booking so the visit is covered, and ask the urologist's office whether they need any records sent ahead of time.

Are kidney stones and recurring UTIs treated by a urologist?

Yes. A urologist can confirm a kidney stone with imaging and treat it with medication, shock wave therapy, or laser removal, and then help you change diet and fluids to prevent new ones. For UTIs that keep coming back, a urologist looks for an underlying cause, such as an anatomical issue or incomplete bladder emptying, rather than just prescribing another round of antibiotics.
