Starting close to home
Dallas-area patients with a kidney mass often begin at our Dallas Clinic, where Daniel Roberson, PA-C, reviews the scan report, orders blood work and explains what happens next. Treatment planning and kidney tumor procedures take place in Marietta with our surgical team.
How treatment decisions are made
The size and location of the tumor, kidney function and overall health all shape the plan. Options include monitoring, needle-based ablation, histotripsy where appropriate, and surgery that keeps healthy kidney tissue. Follow-up scans check whether a treated area needs more attention, and repeating a non-surgical treatment is sometimes possible.

Common questions
Common questions
Will I need many scans?
Yes, at first. Expect a CT or MRI a few months after treatment to confirm the tumor tissue is gone, then scans spaced further apart if results stay stable.
Can I keep seeing someone in Dallas?
Yes. Lab checks and many follow-up visits can happen with Daniel Roberson, PA-C, at our Dallas Clinic. Scans and any further treatment are arranged with our urologists in Marietta.
