Namespaces or prefixes for controllers

I have two Devise models (Doctor and Patient) in my app. And i have two different sets of controllers for each one. At the moment i just prefixing each controller like this: PatientRegistrationsController, DoctorRegistrationsController etc.

But now i'm thinking about using namespaces for better app organization and structure. For example, Patient::RegistrationsController, Doctor::SessionsController.

Help me deciding which strategy i should use with my controllers - namespaces or prefixing names. Is where any gotchas with namespaces?

See http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#controller-namespaces-and-routing

You can put the controllers in seperate folders and access them via a different route...

f.e..

namespace :doctor do
  resources :data_entries
end
# => http://test.com/doctor/data_entries
# => controller is in app/doctor/data_entries_controller.rb

namespace :patient do
  resources :data_entries
end
# => http://test.com/patient/data_entries
# => controller is in app/patient/data_entries_controller.rb
