What does a urologist do, and how can ours help you?
Our Oakwood Clinic at 4239 Mundy Mill Rd Suite D&E is opening soon. Meanwhile, our Braselton clinicians are ready to see you, and any procedure is planned at our Lawrenceville Clinic & Surgery Center.
A urologist is a medical doctor and surgeon who looks after the kidneys, bladder and urinary tubes in every adult, plus the prostate and testicles in men.
What do our urologists do?
Our urologists care for prostate enlargement (BPH), overactive bladder and leakage, and cancers of the prostate, bladder and kidney, along with stones, hematuria, erection and testosterone concerns and vasectomy.
Care ranges from medicines and in-office testing to minimally invasive procedures and surgery at our Lawrenceville Clinic & Surgery Center.
When should you see a urologist in Lawrenceville?
Bathroom trips are breaking up your sleep, or the stream has lost force.
Leaks or sudden urges are changing your plans.
Your PSA is rising, or you notice blood in your urine.
Pain in your side or back comes in waves.
Erections, energy or drive have changed.
Is a referral required for our Lawrenceville office?
Usually not, and you can book with us directly. Some health plans still ask for one before a specialist visit, so check your policy or ask us.
Cannot urinate at all, running a fever with pain, or bleeding heavily? Please go to an emergency room now instead of waiting for an appointment.
Where will you be seen?
Advanced Urology Lawrenceville Clinic & Surgery Center
Your first appointment at Crown Pointe Way is mostly conversation. Expect questions about what shifted, since when, and what has helped so far. Depending on the concern, we may check a urine sample, scan the bladder, order a PSA blood test or arrange imaging.
Before you go, we spell out what we think is happening, which test comes next and what you can begin doing today. If a procedure is part of that plan, we explain whether it happens in the office or at our surgery center down the hall.
Urologist or primary care doctor?
Your primary care doctor is a great place to start, and we work alongside them. A urologist adds specialist testing and procedures for the kidneys, bladder and prostate. Many patients come to us after a PSA result, a urine test showing blood, or medicines that stopped helping.
What do people ask about seeing a urologist?
Do urologists treat women?
Yes. Bladder leaks, repeat infections, blood in the urine and kidney stones bring many women to our Lawrenceville office.
Will I need surgery?
Most people do not. Many concerns improve with medicines, lifestyle steps or in-office treatment, and surgery comes up when it would truly help.
What should I bring?
Your insurance card, photo ID, a list of medicines and any recent lab or imaging results.
