Urology
Diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract and male reproductive system conditions including kidney stones, prostate disease, and bladder disorders
Urology is the specialty focused on diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract and male reproductive system conditions including kidney stones, prostate disease, and bladder disorders. OpenDoc separates it into focused subspecialty paths so patients can start in the right care lane before they book. Transparent pricing on this page currently ranges from $75 to $10,000 across 29 common visit types. Urologists treat conditions affecting the urinary system in both men and women and the male reproductive system — from kidney stones to prostate cancer. OpenDoc urology providers offer evaluations starting at $200 with in-office procedures like cystoscopy for 40-60% less than hospital outpatient pricing. Kidney stones alone account for over 2 million emergency department visits per year, and many of these patients could save thousands with a direct urologist consultation.
Not sure where to start? Begin with General Urology Evaluation and OpenDoc will keep the specialty, visit type, and price aligned before anything happens.
Cash-pay context
Why pricing transparency matters here
In-office urology procedures like cystoscopy and vasectomy cost 40-60% less than the same procedures at hospital outpatient departments. Cash pay eliminates prior authorization delays for procedures and imaging, and avoids the common surprise of separate surgeon and facility bills arriving weeks apart.
Subspecialties
Choose the right path inside Urology
Each card represents a distinct focused path inside the specialty. This is the big shift from the old browse page: the user gets routing context before they ever hit a provider profile.
Endourology & Stone Disease
Endourologists specialize in minimally invasive treatment of kidney and ureteral stones using ureteroscopy, laser lithotripsy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy. They manage complex and recurrent stone disease with both surgical and metabolic prevention strategies.
Female Pelvic Medicine
Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS) specialists — also known as urogynecologists — treat pelvic floor disorders including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and overactive bladder in women. They offer both surgical and non-surgical management options.
Pediatric Urology
Pediatric Urologists manage urologic conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. They treat congenital anomalies, vesicoureteral reflux, undescended testes, hypospadias, and pediatric kidney stones with approaches tailored to growing bodies.
Reconstructive Urology
Reconstructive Urologists specialize in complex surgical repair of the urinary tract including urethral stricture, fistula repair, and reconstruction after trauma or prior surgery. They manage conditions that require tissue transfer techniques and specialized surgical expertise.
Urologic Oncology
Urologic Oncologists specialize in the surgical treatment of cancers of the kidney, bladder, prostate, testis, and adrenal gland. They perform complex cancer surgeries including radical prostatectomy, radical cystectomy, and partial nephrectomy, often using robotic-assisted techniques.

General Urology Evaluation
Start with a general urology evaluation if you want the provider to confirm the right care path before you move deeper into the specialty.
Why subspecialty matters
Why OpenDoc separates these care paths instead of collapsing them
Focused training matters
Specialties often branch into narrower care paths. Seeing them clearly helps patients choose providers with training that actually matches the problem.
Prices match the care path
A sports medicine visit, a spine evaluation, and a tumor consult are not the same visit. OpenDoc keeps pricing attached to the path, not just the umbrella specialty.
Less guesswork before booking
Patients should understand the likely route before they see provider cards. That lowers false starts and makes the next step into provider search feel clearer.
Better provider fit
This page keeps specialty, subspecialty, common visit types, and price context aligned so users can move into provider selection with more confidence.
