Call 678-344-8900Book onlineWhat should I ask?
- Did a recent scan mention a kidney mass?
- Have I seen blood in my urine?
Your visit
If a scan found a kidney mass, bring the report and images. Our urologists may order blood and urine tests or more imaging, such as a CT or MRI, to understand the mass better. Copies of earlier scans help show whether it has changed.
When to call
Call us about blood in the urine, side pain that keeps coming back, or a scan that showed something on a kidney.
Our approach
Our urologists explain each finding and the choices that follow, from more imaging to an operation on part or all of the kidney, and many kidney operations can be done robotically.
Can I be seen in Roswell?
Bring your questions to our Roswell clinic and surgery center, where our urologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners can go over them with you in person. Our Roswell team is here when you are ready.
