finding best urolift provider?

Posted , 12 users are following.

Hello guys, this forum has been useful to me as I think through my options.  Nothing's guaranteed, but urolift appears most least risky, for the time being anyway.  I'm joining the forum because the urology practice I've been seeing (here in Santa Cruz California) has just started doing the procedure.  As with any even minimally invasive procedure, experience counts and a track record is essential... and this is still a new treatment.  So I'm trying to figure out how to find the most experienced providers and how to assess their track record.  Not knowing my way around this world, I am tempted to just try to get into the Mayo clinic in Arizona, based on their general reputation... but it would be good to have some sense of the lay of the land...  So I would be grateful if anyone could point me to a resource that offers that sort of data (eg, number of procedures done over time, complaints, outcome data...?) or at least shared personal knowledge along those lines... thanks!

    What you are looking for you will only find on this forum because doctors have not had their own personal procedures that their patients have.
