About Your First Appointment

We’ll mail you a packet of information before your first visit. It will explain what you need to bring and what your appointment will involve. We want your first visit to be comprehensive and efficient. Our faculty deal with general urology conditions, but each offers expertise in urologic subspecialties such as kidney stones, male infertility, male or female voiding dysfunctions. We suggest that you access the Appointment Information page and provide basic information about the primary urologic problem to be addressed so that we can refer you to the appropriate urologist.

What to bring to your first visit:

• Your X-rays and any other items you were asked to hand-carry to your first appointment
• Your primary care and referring physician’s name and phone number.
• A list of medications you currently take and the dosage information for those medications
• The name, phone number(s) and address of a person who can be contacted in case of an emergency
• Your health insurance card(s), including Medicare or other insurance cards
• Any co-payment required by your insurance
• A list of questions for your doctor and a pen and paper to write down the answers.
  

We encourage you to bring a family member or friend with you to help listen and take notes during your appointment. Your urologist and other members of your health care team will be happy to answer your questions and concerns. We encourage you to bring a list of questions you would like to ask at the time of your visit.
