Note: Names and details are provided for your information only. Decisions regarding choice of physician and treatment are a patient's responsibility, as is all communication and interaction with listed medical professionals. Any information you send to a physician is not covered by the Teleflex Incorporated (Teleflex) Privacy Policy: https://www.teleflex.com/usa/en/legal/internet-privacy-policy/index.html.
The list of physicians generated by your search criteria is based on the ZIP code or city that you entered. You will have the option to sort search results by proximity to the ZIP code or city that you entered or by listing UroLift™ Center of Excellence (COE) physicians at the top. UroLift™ COE physicians have fulfilled the designation requirements for the UroLift™ COE Program.
The information and content in the Physician Locator are provided solely by the physicians. This list was created to support patients who want to learn more about the UroLift™ System by helping connect them to physicians who currently have demonstrated qualifications and interest in providing quality care with the UroLift™ System. All physicians have been given the choice to enable a link to their email address within the listing associated with their name.
Physicians listed on the Physician Locator, with or without COE Program designation, pay no fee for inclusion. Some physicians on this list may purchase products from, provide consulting services to and/or be a party to a co-marketing agreement with Teleflex. Teleflex makes no representations or warranties regarding, and shall not be responsible for, the competencies or skill level of any of the physicians listed on the Physician Locator or designated as COEs or the quality of their procedural outcomes. You and your physician must determine if the UroLift™ System treatment is the right procedure for you.
Teleflex reserves the right to remove and/or exclude any physician from the Physician Locator, with or without COE Program designation, immediately and without notice in its sole discretion in the event that Teleflex becomes aware of (i) any alleged or suspected fraud or abuse or violation of law, arising out of any activity involving the physician, (ii) any alleged or suspected violations of any federal or state health care program requirements by the physician, (iii) any threatened, proposed, or actual revocation of license/certification, suspension, exclusion, or debarment of the physician, (iv) any subpoena, legal process, civil investigative demand, discovery request, or similar request for information involving the physician, and/or (v) any facts, allegations or situations of a similar nature.
Physician Locator Information and Requirements
To be listed on the UroLift.com Physician Locator, a physician must:
- Complete the UroLift Proficiency Pathway (UPP)1 or equivalent training2, and
- Complete at least 15 cases in the last 5-month period.
To remain on the Physician Locator, a physician must complete at least 10 cases in the 12-month review period with at least 5 cases in the last 6 months of the review period.
The 12-month review period is based on the date the physician is added to the Physician Locator. A physician will be removed from the Physician Locator if they have not met the above requirements.
To be added back on the Physician Locator, a physician must complete at least 5 cases in the last 6 months.
Please note: Physicians who have achieved Center of Excellence designation do not need to requalify separately for the Physician Locator each year and are listed on the Physician Locator as part of their COE qualification. Should a physician not renew their designation for the Center of Excellence program, they must meet the Physician Locator annual requirements to remain listed on UroLift.com.
1 UPP is a surgeon-training program that includes modular, didactic and hands-on device training and guided completion of 15 cases. For more information about UPP, contact your Teleflex representative.
2 Physicians who were trained prior to March 2017 received equivalent surgeon training to the requirements outlined above, including instructional didactic sessions, clinical video review and hands-on UroLift System use.

If a physician does not renew their designation as a UroLift System COE physician, the physician will be notified, the physician’s status as a COE will be suspended, and their COE insignia will be removed from the Physician Locator. That physician will be reviewed by Teleflex to determine whether they meet the requirements to remain on the Physician Locator. If the physician does not meet the Physician Locator requirements, the physician will be notified and removed from the Physician Locator entirely6.
