Your first visit with our Lawrenceville urologists
Most first visits are a conversation, an exam and some testing. You leave with a clearer picture and a plan you helped shape.
Will I need a doctor's referral first?
In most cases, no. You can book with us yourself. Certain insurers want a referral on file before they pay for a specialist visit, so a quick look at your plan helps. Referrals from primary care practices are welcome too.
What should I bring?
- Your insurance card and photo ID.
- A list of your medicines, including over-the-counter ones.
- Recent results, such as a PSA level or imaging reports, if you have them.
- Your questions, written down.
Is my symptom worth a visit?
Probably. People tend to postpone visits for urinary changes, leaks, repeat infections or lingering discomfort, yet those are exactly what our Lawrenceville urologists see every day. A visit that rules something out is still useful. Blood in the urine should always be checked.
Do you see women?
Yes. Bladder symptoms bring women to our offices as often as any other concern. Urologists care for the urinary system in every adult, not just men.
How do insurance and payment work?
We accept many insurance plans; coverage varies, so confirm yours before your visit. Want to pay on your own rather than through a plan? Phone 678-344-8900, and someone on Crown Pointe Way will talk you through what to expect. Lawrenceville office on advancedurology.com.

Call (678) 344-8900What else do patients ask?
My PSA went up a little. Should I book now or wait?
Book now. Our Lawrenceville urologists compare the new number with earlier ones, ask about recent infections or procedures, and explain whether repeating the test, an MRI or a biopsy comes next.
Can Lawrenceville patients have imaging and procedures in one place?
Many can. Lab work, imaging and outpatient surgery all happen inside the Lawrenceville Clinic & Surgery Center at 501 Crown Pointe Way, so fewer separate appointments are needed.
Who greets you when you arrive?
Depending on the office, your first visit may be with one of our urologists or a physician assistant. On Crown Pointe Way that includes Dr. Mukesh Patel, Dr. Vik Sabarwal, Dr. Michael F. Nordsiek and Dr. Hemant Chaparala; Braselton visits include Dr. Vik Sabarwal, Dr. Hemant Chaparala and Dr. Nicholas Farber.
What happens after the exam?
If tests are needed, many happen down the hall the same visit. Our Gwinnett clinicians go over results at a return visit or on a call, then lay out whether a prescription, a Crown Pointe Way procedure or patient watching makes the most sense.
Questions after you get home are welcome. Call (678) 344-8900 and our Gwinnett team will pass them to your clinician.
Which videos can help?
These open on Advanced Urology's YouTube channel.
