Patients should consider the following factors while selecting a urologist:

• Is the urologist certified by a reputed board of medical specialty? It is important that the patient verifies whether their surgeon/doctor has completely their degree from a reputed college and also check if he/she is licensed to legally practice urology in India or not.

Experienced doctors are more likely to operate the patient successfully, as they are also more likely to have a specialty. Patients should select doctors based on their career profiles and specialty.
