Chicago's urologists on this page have logged 934 Google reviews between them, and ratings run from 4.8 to a perfect 5, barely two tenths of a point apart, so the real decision comes down to what each practice focuses on.

Down There Urology

4.9213 Google reviews

Down There Urology, with a Chicago location on N Clark St, focuses specifically on sexual health for both men and women, including pelvic floor and urogynecological care, fertility, and related cosmetic procedures. The practice includes several named physicians, including Dr. Milhouse and Dr. Kansal, and markets itself around a broader scope than general urology.

What people praise

  • Reviewers specifically sought out this practice after being dismissed elsewhere
  • Praised for quick scheduling in urgent situations, including a next-day appointment for a hydrocele rupture
  • Follow-up calls after surgery mentioned by multiple reviewers, including calls to partners to explain recovery
  • Female patients specifically note finding a urogynecologist they trust here after a long search

Worth knowing

  • Focuses more narrowly on sexual health than general urology, so it may not be the first stop for unrelated kidney or bladder issues
  • High demand means booking with a specific doctor may take longer

Our take: A perfect rating and a narrow, specific focus. If a vasectomy is specifically what you need, the specialization here shows in the reviews, though check that the reviews' age doesn't concern you.

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data pulled on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the practice’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many patients have rated them, ranked against other Chicago urologists. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating from hundreds of patients carries more weight than one from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently patients are still leaving reviews. No practice can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a urologist visit cost in Chicago?

Urology costs in Chicago depend heavily on the reason for the visit, from a standard consultation to a specific procedure like a vasectomy or surgery, and on your insurance coverage. Practices that specialize in a single procedure, like vasectomies, often list more predictable self-pay pricing, while general urology visits vary by diagnosis and treatment plan. Always confirm your specific costs and insurance coverage directly with the practice before booking.

Serving all of Chicago

The practices above cover Chicago’s Near South Side, the Loop, Streeterville, and the West Side, with some also serving nearby suburbs like Des Plaines and Oak Brook. Searching for a urologist near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and address so you can find the closest option and call to confirm availability.

What to ask before you see a urologist

  • Do you accept my insurance, and what’s the expected cost of the initial consultation?
  • Do I need a referral from my primary care doctor?
  • Is this practice a good fit for my specific concern, or should I see a specialist within a larger group?
  • What does recovery typically involve if a procedure is recommended?
  • How do I reach the office with follow-up questions after treatment?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these urologists?

We started from every urologist in Chicago with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do I need a referral to see a urologist in Chicago?

It depends on your insurance plan. Some require a referral from a primary care doctor, while others allow you to book directly with a specialist. Check with your insurer before booking.

Which of these practices handles vasectomies?

Vasectomy Specialist Clinics of Chicago focuses specifically on vasectomies. UroPartners and other general urology practices on this page may also offer the procedure, so ask directly when booking.

The bottom line

UroPartners is the safest general default given its size and review volume, while Down There Urology stands out specifically for sexual health and Vasectomy Specialist Clinics of Chicago for that one procedure alone. Whichever you choose, confirm insurance coverage and what the first visit will involve.
