Urology - Special Recognitions

Stony Brook University Medical Center’s Department of Urology Ranked Among top Programs in U.S. News & World Report “America’s Best Hospitals” Listing

Urology is a wide-ranging specialty, covering kidney transplants, prostate issues, infections, urologic cancers, and more in men and women, children and infants.

In the August 2009, “America’s Best Hospitals” issue of U.S. News & World Report, the Center’s Department of Urology was once again ranked among the top 50 in the nation, along with other prestigious institutions such as Johns Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic, and the Mayo Clinic. This distinction was earned, in part, because of the department’s achievement of having the second highest survival rate out of the top 50 programs.
