Getting started

Wondering whether it's time to see one of our urologists?

Plenty of people wait longer than they need to, unsure whether a symptom is worth a visit. Here's a simple guide to what our urologists do and the signs that mean we'd like to see you.

What our urologists help with

  • Prostate concerns, including enlargement and a rising PSA
  • Bladder problems such as leakage, urgency and trouble emptying
  • Kidney stones and other kidney concerns
  • Men's health, including erection and testosterone changes
  • Prostate, bladder, kidney and testicular cancer
  • Vasectomy

Signs it's time to come in

  • Blood in your urine, even once
  • Trouble starting or fully emptying your bladder
  • Leaking that affects your day
  • Stone pain in your side or back
  • A PSA result that's climbing
  • Changes in erections or energy that concern you

Your first visit

Start at our Marietta, Canton, Dallas or Jasper office. New patients are always welcome here. Phone (678) 344-8900 for the soonest available appointment, or book online.

Educational information, not medical advice. Every treatment has risks, benefits and alternatives to discuss with your clinician.

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.
