About Urologist Specialists
A urologist specializes in the medical and surgical care of the urinary tract, genitourinary system, adrenal glands, and kidneys. Urologists also help men with infertility and other reproductive system problems and work together with nephrology specialists to treat men and women with diseases of the kidneys. The urology specialist treats patients using medications, minor procedures using laparoscopy, and surgery, depending on a person’s diagnosis.
