Urologists diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary system and male reproductive organs, including kidney stones, prostate enlargement, bladder cancer, erectile dysfunction, and urinary incontinence. They perform surgeries ranging from robotic prostatectomies to kidney stone removal.

Look for board-certified urologists in San Diego, CA with strong peer reviews on Physician Signal. Insight Scores from OR nurses and surgical assistants who work directly with urologists provide valuable insight into their surgical abilities and patient care.

Your first urology visit typically includes a medical history review, physical examination, and possibly urine tests or imaging studies. The urologist will discuss your symptoms, explain diagnostic options, and outline potential treatment plans.

Urologists are rated by verified healthcare professionals on six categories including Surgical Skill, Bedside Manner, and Clinical Outcomes. These ratings are combined into a weighted Insight Score from 1-10 reflecting their overall performance.
