We invite you to explore this site to learn more about our practice, our mission, and our providers.
Mission
The mission of Urology Specialists is to be the region’s premier urological care team by providing comprehensive, compassionate, patient-centered care through dedicated staff, highly trained medical providers, and state-of-the-art technology.
History
Our practice was founded in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in 1951 by James H. Hoskins, MD. Dr. Hoskins had a private practice until 1969 when his son, John H. Hoskins, MD, returned from his tour of duty in Vietnam and joined his father in practice. In 1970, James H. Hoskins retired. John H. Hoskins retired in April 1997. The practice incorporated in 1972 and adopted our present name: Urology Specialists.
A Team Concept
Beginning in 2022, we have adopted a new model of care – with the goal of being able to serve our patients in a more holistic and efficient manner. We know that urology care is often time sensitive and truly impacts your quality of life. Each of our Urologists has partnered with an Advanced Practice Provider (APP), so there are 9 teams in total; 18 providers who are working together to provide the best urologic care in the region. With our new model, we anticipate our patients will be able to see a qualified specialist sooner and you can be assured that our APP’s and Physicians will work closely together for you. Our Veteran, Hans Wagenaar, PA will continue to provide full time care in our clinic setting to help facilitate the emergency care our patients often need. In all, 19 providers will work together to provide specialized urologic care for men, women, and children across the 16 communities we serve.
True Teamwork
In addition to the 19 skilled Physicians and APP’s, who have been specially trained in Urology care, we have a team of amazing caregivers and colleagues who support our mission. We have a strong team of Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Medical Assistants, CT Technologists, Ultrasound Technicians, Phlebotomists, Receptionists, Schedulers, Coding/Billing Specialists, and Leaders throughout our organization who are also here to serve you. Our MDs have a combined 108 years of experience and our mid-level providers have a combined 48 years. We truly strive to deliver the best patient experience possible.
