Urologist suggestions

I know this is a shot in the dark, but I'm trying to find a good Urologist that specializes in infertility within the Phoenix Arizona area. Not sure if anyone has any suggestions, but anything can help. Also, maybe some suggestions on things to look for, questions to ask when finding one.

We went to a regular urologist the first time and got nowhere. Then went to a RE who only does female infertility but he was able to recommend a urologist. I would call the local ferility clinicsa and ask for recommendations.

If you already know you have male factor infertility, I would bypass the Urologist and go straight to an RE. My DH went to a urologist and was told his count was low. We then did 4 IUI's before seeing an RE. The RE did a more detailed SA and found 3% strict morphology, which did not show up in the generic test from the Urologist. So long story short, we should've seen the RE as soon as we knew there was a problem. We wasted a lot of time before we got the more in depth SA.

Hi, I don't have any specific names for you but I'm sure you can find someone. We got our urologist's name and number from my OBGYN. I would call your partner's and see if they have a suggestion, they should. I would not got strait to an RE because that may not be covered by insurance and a urologist probably will be. Good luck!
