For clinicians

Three ways to be involved

LiveKidneyStoneFree is an independent education project for people trying not to form another kidney stone. We list 15,517 urologists across 51 states, free of charge, and we do not rank them.

Review our content

Nothing we write about prevention publishes without a named clinician having read it. We are looking for urologists, nephrologists, and renal dietitians willing to review pages in their area — typically one or two pages a month, each a 20-minute read.

  • Your name, credentials, and a linked bio appear on every page you review.
  • You see the draft with its citations attached and can reject it outright.
  • Every version is kept, so what you approved is always recoverable.
  • Unpaid, and we will not pretend otherwise. This site earns nothing from reviewing and reviewers are volunteers.

Claim or correct your listing

Our directory is built from the federal provider registry, which is often out of date. If your entry is wrong, tell us and we will fix it. If you want to add that you do metabolic stone evaluations, we want to know — that is the single thing patients ask us for and the registry does not record.

  • No fee to be listed. No fee to be listed higher — we do not rank clinicians.
  • We verify against your NPI number before changing anything.
  • You can ask to be removed entirely and we will remove you.

Write for us

If you spend your days explaining the same thing to patients, that explanation is worth more written down once. We publish under your name with your credentials, and we edit for clarity rather than for traffic.

  • You keep the byline and we do not ghostwrite under it.
  • We will not attach a product recommendation to anything you write.
  • Topics that would help most are on the research digest page.
Pitch something

Endorse a product. Appear alongside one. Lend your credentials to a claim you did not make. We take no money from supplement manufacturers to write about them, no product is ever surfaced to a patient on the basis of their test results, and the code that would allow it fails our build on purpose.

Our founder is employed by Withings, which makes a urine-analysis device in this category. That is disclosed on every page it could touch. Withings has no editorial input and provides no funding. If that arrangement would make reviewing uncomfortable, say so and we will tell you which pages it affects — currently none of them.

The full editorial policy sets out the publishing gate, the source hierarchy, and the corrections process.
