Kidney stone pain: office visit or emergency room?
If a kidney stone is giving you trouble, our Dallas Clinic is here to help. Often a call to us is the faster way to a scan and a plan.
When to call Dallas first
If the pain is coming and going and you can drink, phone the office. Imaging and lab work tell your clinician how big the stone is and where it sits.
If the stone won't pass
Shock wave lithotripsy or a ureteroscopy with laser may be recommended. A urologist performs either one under anesthesia in Marietta and will explain the risks and recovery before you decide.
Let's talk it over together. Our Dallas Clinic team is happy to get your first appointment on the calendar.
