Your first visit with our urology team
Coming to a urologist for the first time can feel like a big step. Here is what to expect at our offices in Marietta, Canton, Dallas and Jasper, from booking to the end of the appointment.
How do I book a first visit?
Call (678) 344-8900 or use the Book online button on any page. Let us know where you would like to be seen and what brings you in. New patients are welcome, and some insurance plans ask for a referral or prior approval first, so check with your plan before the visit.
What should I bring?
A little preparation makes the first visit more useful.
- Your insurance card and a photo ID
- A list of your medicines and supplements, with doses
- Recent lab results, PSA history, and imaging reports or discs
- Any stone you caught by straining your urine
- A bladder diary, if our team asked you to keep one
- The questions you want answered, written down
What happens during the visit?
Your clinician talks with you about your symptoms and health history and does an exam suited to the concern. A urine sample is often part of it. Lab work and in-office testing such as ultrasound are available at our offices, so many evaluations get further on day one.
Who will I see?
You may see one of our urologists or one of our physician assistants or nurse practitioner, who work alongside the urologists. At our Dallas Clinic, Daniel Roberson, PA-C, sees patients. Each clinician has a page under Providers.
What if I need a procedure?
Procedures for all four offices are performed at our Marietta Clinic & Surgery Center, with follow-up visits back at the office you started with.
Can someone come with me?
Yes. A partner, relative or friend is welcome, and many people find a second set of ears helpful when options are discussed.
