Urgent or routine?
- Go to the ER now for fever or chills with stone pain, being unable to urinate at all, sudden severe testicle pain, heavy bleeding with clots that block urine, or vomiting that keeps you from holding fluids down.
- Call for a prompt visit for visible blood in the urine that has stopped, a new or rising PSA, a testicle lump, or stone pain that is controlled at home.
- Book a routine visit for bladder leakage, frequent urination, a weak stream, getting up at night, erection problems or a vasectomy consultation.
The first visit usually includes a urine test, an exam and, depending on the symptom, a bladder ultrasound, a PSA blood test or a review of your scans. Lithotripsy and other stone procedures take place at our Marietta Clinic & Surgery Center, prostate biopsies are done with anesthesia at our surgery centers, and a cystoscopy can often be done in the office.
In Marietta, Canton and Jasper you may be seen by a urologist, a physician assistant or our nurse practitioner, all on the same team. At our Dallas Clinic, Daniel Roberson, PA-C, starts these evaluations. Visits with a urologist are then arranged in Marietta.
