Methodology

How We Evaluate Urology Centers

We evaluate centers against the same factors a careful patient or referring physician would weigh — credentials, capability, transparency, and continuity of care.

Evaluation criteria

  • Physician credentials — verified medical degrees and licensure
  • Board certification in urology or equivalent
  • Fellowship training in endourology, minimally invasive surgery, or related
  • Procedure availability across the modern BPH spectrum (Rezum, UroLift, TURP, HoLEP, PAE, simple prostatectomy)
  • Accreditation status (JCI or recognized domestic equivalent), independently verifiable
  • Transparency on cost, included services, and complication management
  • Published outcomes or willingness to share institutional data
  • International patient support — bilingual coordination, pre-travel consultation, post-discharge follow-up
  • Continuity of care — documented hand-off for postoperative concerns after the patient returns home
  • Safety infrastructure — board-certified anesthesia, ACLS-trained recovery staff, sterile processing, adverse-event tracking

What inclusion does not mean

Inclusion on ProstateHealth.mx does not constitute a recommendation, endorsement, guarantee of outcome, or physician referral. We do not accept payment for inclusion. Patients should independently verify current accreditation, physician credentials, and outcomes data before making any treatment decision.
