MedicalRecruiting.com operates a dedicated urology recruiting division placing general urologists, urologic oncologists, female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgeons, male fertility and microsurgery specialists, endourologists, and pediatric urologists at hospitals, urology groups (including PE-backed platforms), ASCs, and academic medical centers in all 50 states.
The American Urological Association has documented one of the worst county-level coverage gaps in the entire physician workforce — more than 60% of US counties have no resident urologist. The aging male population is driving sustained demand for prostate, BPH, and stone disease care, while robotic surgery (da Vinci platform) has become the default for most major urologic oncology procedures.
MedicalRecruiting.com runs a dedicated urology recruiting practice that places general urologists, urologic oncologists, female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgeons, male fertility and microsurgery specialists, endourologists, and pediatric urologists.
We work with hospital-employed urology groups, PE-backed urology platforms (US Urology Partners, Solaris Health affiliates, NorthStar Genomics affiliates, and similar), independent partnership practices, ASCs, and academic medical centers. Our recruiters understand robotic surgery program economics, ASC ownership stakes, and the rural urology access challenges that shape this market.
Urology has fragmented into several subspecialty tracks. Our team covers each:
General Urology — Comprehensive general urology covering BPH, stone disease, oncology screening, and routine male and female urology. The largest segment of urology recruiting.
Urologic Oncology — Fellowship-trained urologic oncologists performing radical prostatectomy, cystectomy, and complex renal surgery — predominantly via robotic platform.
Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS) — Subspecialty urologists managing urinary incontinence, prolapse, and complex female pelvic floor disorders. Overlaps with urogynecology subspecialty.
Male Fertility / Microsurgery — Subspecialty urologists performing vasectomy reversal, varicocelectomy, and male infertility evaluation. A small but high-demand niche.
Endourology / Stone Disease — Subspecialty urologists with high stone disease procedural volumes, often anchored to lithotripsy and ureteroscopy programs.
Pediatric Urology — Subspecialty fellowship-trained pediatric urologists at children's hospitals. Significant national shortage.
Sexual Medicine and Andrology — Practice-focused urologists managing erectile dysfunction, low T, and sexual medicine — increasingly anchored to specialized men's health platforms.
Our urology recruiters work with a broad range of healthcare organizations across the country:
Independent Urology Groups — Physician-owned urology practices with partnership tracks, equity buy-in, and ASC ownership upside.
PE-Backed Urology Platforms — Multi-state consolidated urology groups (Solaris Health, US Urology Partners, and similar) with significant ASC, lithotripsy, and ancillary revenue.
Hospital-Employed Urology — Hospital and health system employed urology divisions, often anchored to robotic surgery and prostate cancer programs.
Academic Medical Centers — University-affiliated urology departments with subspecialty fellowship programs and research mandates.
Urology ASCs — Outpatient urology ASCs for stone disease, BPH procedures, and minor surgical volume.
Critical Access and Rural Hospitals — Small rural hospitals struggling to maintain general urology coverage, often via visiting clinic models.
Our urology recruiting process is designed for the specific realities of the urology physician market — competitive counteroffers, long candidate timelines for some subspecialties, and the need for precise practice-environment matching.
Discovery and Position Profiling — We begin by understanding your call structure, patient volumes, team dynamics, compensation philosophy, and growth trajectory. A urology position at a community hospital requires a fundamentally different candidate profile than one at a tertiary academic referral center.
Candidate Identification and Outreach — Our urology candidate database includes active and passive candidates across every subspecialty and practice setting. We combine database matching with proactive outreach to urology physicians whose training, procedure mix, and career trajectory align with your specific position. We do not simply post and wait — we recruit.
Qualification and Vetting — Every candidate we present has been personally interviewed by a recruiter who understands urology as a specialty. We review training background, board status, procedure or panel volumes where applicable, licensure history, and malpractice history before presentation.
Offer Management and Negotiation — Our recruiters manage the offer process from initial conversation through signed contract — including productivity and call-structure negotiation, sign-on bonus structuring, relocation, and income guarantee periods during ramp-up.
Time-to-Fill — We set realistic timelines at search launch based on your subspecialty mix, market dynamics, and offer competitiveness. Most general urology positions fill in 60–120 days; harder subspecialty searches can run 150–180 days.
Urology compensation has risen significantly with strong procedural and ASC economics:
General Urologists (Employed) — Total compensation typically $500,000–$700,000 in employed positions. Sign-on bonuses of $100,000–$250,000 are standard.
General Urologists (Partnership) — Total compensation typically $600,000–$900,000+ in independent partnership groups with ASC and lithotripsy revenue.
Urologic Oncologists — Total compensation typically $600,000–$850,000 at academic and high-volume robotic programs.
FPMRS Specialists — Total compensation typically $475,000–$650,000.
Pediatric Urologists — Total compensation typically $375,000–$525,000 at children's hospitals.
Geographic Variation — Rural and small-metro markets pay 20–35% above national averages with enhanced sign-on, partnership track, and loan repayment to overcome severe rural urology access challenges.

General urology positions typically fill in 90–180 days. Subspecialty searches (urologic oncology, FPMRS, pediatric urology) typically run 120–240 days. Rural urology searches can extend beyond 240 days given the severe national rural access crisis.
Yes — urologic oncology is one of our most active urology subspecialty areas. We understand robotic platform requirements, prostate cancer program economics, and the multidisciplinary cancer team integration that drives urologic oncology candidate acceptance.
Yes. PE-backed urology platforms are major employers in the current urology market. We routinely place urologists at these groups and brief candidates on partnership, equity, and ancillary revenue structures.
We offer contingency engagements (no upfront fee, billed only on a successful start — request a quote at /contact for a tailored proposal) and retained engagements for subspecialty and partnership-track searches.
Yes. Locum tenens urology is a service line for bridging permanent searches and covering medical leaves. Typical locum deployment timelines are 4–8 weeks given credentialing complexity.
Yes. Rural urology placement is one of the hardest physician searches in healthcare given severe access gaps. We help rural hospitals build highly competitive offers including enhanced compensation, sign-on, NHSC loan repayment, partnership-track structures, and lifestyle narratives that resonate with mission-driven candidates.
