1.    How do I know who is the right urologist for me? Is the doctor board certified? In what field? – “How do I study a doctor’s profile”?

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.
• What is the experience of the urologist? How many surgeries has the urologist performed? Does he/she have a sub-specialty? 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. 
• How are the reviews of the urologist? Reviews of urologist’s old patients can be used for analyzing his/her performance.
