There is no good medical care avail in the villages. Go some where else for quality care

In the meantime, if you are not diabetic this will help you pass the kidney stone at home. I have had stones for many years and had success with this technique a lot. In the refrigerated juice section of the grocery store look for and buy Simply Limeade (not Lemonade). Get about 4 or 5 bottles. During the day try to consume 3 or 4 glasses over the entire day. Do this for a week and half every day. The concentration of lime and citric acid is the perfect amount to make the stone break up and chemically start to break into smaller bits that you can easily pee out. I figured it out myself and passed many stones this way.

Advanced Urologists has some good doctors, but their office leaves a lot to be desired. I will not go back there.

For over 10 years, my wife and I have been seen, and treated, for several kidney stones at Advanced Urology, by Dr. Edward King, (352-430-0705). He is in the office near Walmart north of Hwy 466 on Fridays but he can also be seen in Ocala. He is very compassionate and has taken good care of us.

Worst pain in the world. I had an ambulance take me to the ER so I wouldn’t have to wait. They didn’t wanna give me a painkiller till the doctor saw me and I said if he’s not here in 30 seconds, I’m gonna start screaming at the top of my lungs. He was there in 30 seconds and gave me something good! I eventually passed it, but they say drink lots of water and cranberry juice

It's actually Daugherty. But a heads up. He's currently booked out to Dec. Might want to look at doctors in the UF or Advant Health

Dr. Jason Gerboc at Waterman Hospital in Tavares is the best I’ve had.

I would suggest seeking out a nephrologist.
Another poster mentioned Advent Health Waterman, and I concur. My sister and I have both had excellent care at Waterman.

Another tidbit… my dad was told by a urologist that he was a “ chronic stone former”. My dad found an excellent nephrologist who determined that he had a tumor on his parathyroid gland. He had surgery to remove it and did well for decades.

Best wishes to the OP for a good outcome.

This is an irresponsible statement. It is fair to say that the system is overburdened and appointments can be much further out in time than what is needed, but saying there's no good care here makes no sense. I've been treated here for 2 cancers (bladder and colon), and several other issues and my wife's been treated for lung and brain cancer. We couldn't be happier with the service provided. We've had ER problems here and in Leesburg, but other than that, the experience with the medical establishment has been very good, if not outstanding.

I also saw Dr Marella. I met him when I went to ER due to a kidney stone. So big a stent had to be in. Was not going to pass on its own. Fast forward a few months and I ended up having hyperparathryoidism and 1 symptom is a kidney stone. Now have had surgery so hoping to never have a stone again
