I’m compiling a new resource—patient-recommended kidney doctors listed by state. These referrals come from stone patients on my [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/groups/kidneystonediet) and are highly rated. You will see, however, there are no referrals for Montanna, Nevada, or West Virginia. If you live in these states and love your doctor, [email me](https://kidneystonediet.com/contact/) their first and last name, city, and state so I can update this list. Oh, and let me know if the doctor is a nephrologist or urologist.\
