What's the short answer?
Your PSA is high.
Here are questions to bring with you.
Could something else have raised it?
Should I repeat it?
Do I need an MRI?
What are the risks and benefits of a biopsy?
Which biopsy method do you use?
How does my age and family history change things?
When should you see a urologist about this?
Schedule a visit if your PSA is high, and bring your past PSA results.
What does a Hall County visit involve?
Hall County patients book with our Braselton clinic, 2695 Old Winder Hwy, Suite 150, which has lab, ultrasound and pathology on site. Gainesville-area readers can also watch for our Mundy Mill Road clinic in Oakwood, which is opening soon.
How is this concern handled for Hall County?
For PSA and cancer questions, Hall County patients get each result explained, MRI or biopsy when it adds information, and a clear comparison of surveillance, surgery, radiation and hormone therapy.
How should a Hall County patient prepare?
Gainesville and Flowery Branch patients should bring ID, insurance details, a medicine list and earlier reports. Clermont and Lula patients tell us a folded list of questions in a pocket keeps the visit on track.
When should you call our Hall County team?
Phone (678) 344-8900 if things change, if you are unsure about a test, or if a treatment is not working the way you expected. Gainesville, Flowery Branch and Clermont patients are all welcome.
Which other guides help Hall County readers?
What else do patients ask?
Gainesville men keep asking about prostate procedures. Where are they done?
Gainesville men talk it over in Braselton first; if UroLift, Aquablation, HoLEP or TURP is chosen, the operating day is on Crown Pointe Way, and check-ins move back up Old Winder Highway.
Is a leaky bladder worth a Hall County appointment?
It is. Urgency and leaks are among the most treatable things we see, and a Braselton visit begins with a urine test and a talk about daily habits.
What should Flowery Branch patients bring?
A photo ID, your insurance card, a current medicine list and any earlier PSA or imaging results. If records sit with another office, our team can request them.
Which videos can help?
Watch on YouTube: What is Elevated PSA and how Advanced treats itWhat the video covers: A look at what an elevated PSA means and how our practice approaches it.
These open on Advanced Urology's YouTube channel.
How do I book a visit?
Our urologists look forward to seeing Hall County patients for this in Braselton, and soon in Oakwood.
