| Last Updated: December 16, 2024
Qualifications and Credentials – The urologist must be board-certified and have the necessary qualifications and credentials.
 
Experience and Specialisation – We looked for urologists who focus on areas like kidney stones, prostate health, or urological cancers, as depth of specialisation often means personalised care and experience in complex cases.
 
Hospital Affiliations – The hospitals and medical facilities the urologist is affiliated with can impact where patients receive treatment or undergo procedures.
 
Advanced Technology and Techniques – Urologists should be up-to-date with the latest advancements in urological treatments and use modern equipment and techniques for diagnosis and surgery.
 
Patient-Centred Care – A good urologist should prioritise patient well-being and provide personalised treatment plans.

Around 10% of Singaporeans experience kidney stones (Straits Times). Though they can develop at any age, they typically form in adults aged 30 and older.

If you’re part of (or don’t want to be) this painful statistic, it’s time to see a reliable urologist in Singapore. This review looks at the qualifications, experience, and specialisations of some in the area.
