Lawrenceville & Braselton · Kidney Stones
Do kidney stones really cause pain?
By Advanced Urology ·
What's the short answer?
Not always.
A stone sitting quietly in the kidney may cause no pain.
Pain usually starts when a stone moves and blocks urine flow.
A stone seen on a scan deserves a check, pain or no pain.
What is it like seeing us from Banks County?
Homer, Maysville and Commerce patients book at 2695 Old Winder Hwy, Suite 150, in Braselton. Procedures take place at our Lawrenceville Clinic & Surgery Center.
How is this handled for Banks County patients?
Stone care for Banks County patients starts with a scan in Braselton. If a Banks County stone is little, a prescription may coax it out; a bigger one gets shock waves or a scope on Crown Pointe Way, and then we plan to keep the next one away.
How do Banks County patients get ready?
Before coming to Braselton, Banks County patients should gather a medicine list, insurance card, photo ID and any results from earlier care. Notes about pain, fever or urine changes are helpful too.
When should you phone Braselton?
Phone (678) 344-8900 if pain, fever or other changes appear, or if you just want to talk through a result. Our team is happy to help Banks County patients book.

What else do patients ask?
Is a leaky bladder worth a Banks County appointment?
We think so. Homer and Maysville patients usually regain some bladder control with treatment, and the first Braselton visit sets the plan.
How does Banks County book?
Phone (678) 344-8900 or reserve online with Braselton picked; Banks County surgery dates land on Crown Pointe Way.
Can I bring outside PSA results?
Yes. Bring the printouts or ask your doctor to send them, and our urologists will review the trend with you.
What if I get a fever after a procedure?
Homer and Commerce patients should phone (678) 344-8900 soon after a fever starts, and head to an emergency room for severe illness or no urine at all.
