Symptoms that are worth a visit
- Hematuria, whether visible or picked up by a lab
- Leaking, urgency or frequent night-time trips
- A weak stream or trouble emptying
- Kidney stone pain or a stone history
- A raised PSA or a prostate exam finding
- A testicular lump, erection changes or low energy and drive
When it can't wait
Go to the ER if you can't urinate at all, pass large clots, have sudden severe testicle pain, or have fever with chills and back pain. For everything else, call us so we can see you at our Marietta, Canton, Dallas or Jasper office.
What a first visit looks like
Your first appointment covers history, medicines, an exam and, most of the time, a urine sample. Depending on the concern, ultrasound, blood work or other tests may be part of the visit or scheduled soon after. You'll leave with a clear plan and know how to reach us with questions.
Common questions
Do I need a referral?
Many plans let you book directly; some HMO and Medicare Advantage plans want a primary care referral first. The member number on your insurance card can tell you.
Do you see women?
Yes. Women see us for bladder leakage, urgency, repeat infections, kidney stones and blood in the urine. Several of our physician assistants and our nurse practitioner are women.
