Thinking About TURP Surgery in California?

If you’re navigating the challenges of an enlarged prostate, you’re not alone—and you’re not without options. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) remains one of the most effective and widely used procedures for relieving symptoms and improving quality of life.

But not all surgical care is the same. When it comes to TURP, experience matters. You want a provider who not only performs this procedure often but also understands how to tailor it to your specific anatomy, health history, and goals.

Based on 2023 Medicare claims data from CMS, we compiled a list of the 20 California providers with the most reported TURP procedures. Whether you're just starting to explore your options or preparing for surgery, this list can help you find care with confidence.
