Best In the Midwest
There's a lot of data that could support our belief that Associated Urological Specialists provide some of the best urological care in the Midwest, let alone in the nation. Our Prostate Cancer care is ranked third in the nation. We have more Top Docs than anyone else around. And we have a long, deep list of firsts in the field of urology to perform many of the state-of-the-art treatments for both men and women. But you might not find our biggest points of difference in the data. In fact, most patients tell us its in the manner we treat them - something that is in the foundations of our mission, our people and our purpose.
