Specializes in Family Medicine

Urology visit: Usually a special type of doctor called a Urologist can help you with the kidney stones. There are specific procedures like lithotripsy- in water ablation by shockwaves of the kidney stones to help break them up. This is done under the directions of a Urologist. Drinking more water is also helpful to passing them.
