Kidney Stones

Advanced, proven effective methods for preventing and treating kidney stones.

Kidney stones are serious business and require immediate attention. They may start as a small aggravation in the kidney area, but can soon develop into a very painful condition. But there are ways to prevent this problem. If kidney stones are discovered early, they can often be treated easily, without major surgery.

There are a number of ways to remove kidney stones. Let RTR Urology’s doctors help you choose the best method for you.
• Shock wave (ESWL)
• Scope extraction (ureteroscopy) with holmium laser
• Mini incision removal (percutaneous nephrolithotomy)

Nearly half of all kidney stone patients have more within five years, but proper care and regular checkups can prevent further episodes. Remember, it’s important to catch kidney stones early, so call us at the first sign of trouble.

“I was very worried when I woke up with severe pain on my side. A kidney stone was diagnosed, then removed with a scope. I was back to work a few days later. I was one of the unfortunate ones who had several other stones. Over the years, I’ve found that RTR Urology always had all the treatments. They even found that I have a metabolic problem and prescribed the right medication. Now I haven’t had a stone in over two years.”
