Expert Urologist in Ahmedabad

Dr. Kandarp Parikh is one of Ahmedabad’s most experienced urologists, with over 30 years of practice and recognition as a pioneer of RIRS (laser stone surgery) in India. He has personally trained 300+ urologists in RIRS, which signals a depth most general urologists don’t have.

A urologist treats disorders of the kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra, and prostate, as well as male reproductive health issues. This includes kidney stones, urinary tract infections, prostate enlargement, erectile dysfunction, male infertility, and urological cancers. At Shyam Speciality Hospital, care extends further into robotic uro-oncology and pediatric urology, so patients aren’t referred elsewhere for complex cases.

See a urologist if you notice blood in your urine, persistent pain while urinating, frequent or urgent urination, difficulty emptying your bladder, or pain in your lower back or side. These symptoms are easy to dismiss individually, but together they’re the urinary system’s clearest early warning system. Waiting until pain becomes severe usually means the condition has already progressed.

RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is a laser-based procedure that removes kidney stones through the natural urinary tract, with no cuts or stitches required. Compared to open or larger incision-based surgery, this means less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster return to normal activity, which is exactly why Dr. Parikh, one of RIRS’s earliest adopters in India, built his practice around it.

Modern kidney stone procedures like RIRS are minimally invasive, so most patients report mild discomfort rather than significant pain, with recovery typically measured in days, not weeks. The exact timeline still depends on stone size, location, and the technique used, which is precisely why an accurate diagnosis before treatment matters more than the marketing around any single procedure.

Yes — prostate health, including enlarged prostate (BPH) and prostate cancer screening, falls squarely under urology. Men should get evaluated once symptoms like frequent nighttime urination, weak urine flow, or difficulty fully emptying the bladder appear, generally from age 50 onward, or earlier with a family history. Early evaluation is what keeps a manageable issue from becoming a surgical one.

Dr. Kandarp Parikh holds an MS, M.Ch (Urology), and DNB (Urology) and currently serves as President of the Urological Society of India, a peer-elected role, not a marketing title. That combination of formal qualification, 30+ years of practice, and having personally trained 300+ urologists in RIRS is what separates recognized expertise from a generic “top doctor” listing.
