Kidney Stones
Fast relief now, real prevention going forward.
Kidney stones are painful, but they're also very treatable. Just as important as getting through this stone is preventing the next one — most patients can dramatically reduce their risk with the right evaluation.
For: Anyone who has passed a stone, or has been told they have one.
When to see a urologist
- Sudden severe flank or side pain, often with nausea
- Blood in the urine
- Recurrent stones — even small, painless ones
- Stone plus fever — this is urgent; call our office or go to the ED
How we'll evaluate it
- Low-dose CT or ultrasound to size and locate the stone
- 24-hour urine and blood testing to understand why you form stones
- Diet and medication review
Treatment options we offer
Medical expulsion therapy
For smaller stones likely to pass, with medications that make passage easier.
Shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL)
Non-invasive sound-wave therapy to break stones without incisions.
Ureteroscopy with laser
A small scope and laser to precisely break up and remove stones with no incision.
Personalized prevention plan
Targeted hydration, diet, and — when needed — medications to reduce future stones.
If you're in pain, we work to get you seen quickly. If you're between stones, we can help make sure this doesn't keep happening.
