"Urologists in the US reported a better year for pay gains, on average, than they had a year earlier in a Medscape survey. Still, as in the previous year, just shy of half of them said they felt fairly paid, and around only one third expected to finish the year with some level of compensation increase. (Note: Respondents were full-time physicians who practice in the US only, and they reported total compensation including base salary, incentive bonus, and other income such as profit-sharing contributions.)"
"Urologists practicing in the US told Medscape their compensation rose by roughly 6% on average in 2025. Doctors generally said their pay increased by about 3% on average last year, with average growth rates for both primary care physicians (PCPs) and medical specialists also in that neighborhood. Many physicians worry about inflation lately, and those average pay gains outpaced the annualized core inflation rate for the US of 2.7% at the end of 2025."
"The key drivers, Wells says, are rising individual physician productivity based on seeing more patients and generating more work relative value units (wRVUs), combined with improved technology-driven efficiency in their business offices. Practitioners in eight specialties, including urology, topped $500,000 in total annual compensation. All of them except otolaryngology also reported $500,000-plus in income for last year's report."
Urologists practicing in the US reported total compensation rising by roughly 6% on average in 2025, including base salary, incentive bonuses, and other income such as profit-sharing contributions. Physicians generally reported pay increases of about 3% on average, with primary care physicians and medical specialists showing similar growth rates. Despite these gains, just under half of urologists said they felt fairly paid, and around one third expected compensation to increase by year end. Average pay growth outpaced US annualized core inflation of 2.7% at the end of 2025. Drivers included higher physician productivity through more patients and more work relative value units, along with improved technology-driven efficiency in business offices. Eight specialties, including urology, reported total annual compensation above $500,000.
