Urologist for Kidney Stone
I searched through the postings but most listed under Urologist pertain to prostate issues. Suppose to leave Sunday to head to TV on Sunday but was at ER today with a kidney stone. Im hoping to still go but would like to line up an appt with someone before I head down. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Dr Dersch.. Advanced urology CR 103 near walmart on 466

Thank you

I agree with Advanced Urology, however getting an appointment on short notice will be very difficult. If you are having pain (been there done that) you could contact one of the Urgent care facilities, or an ER. Contact your insurance carrier (ours has a 24/7/365 nurse on duty) and ask about their recommendations for your situation. I was advised that if any one or more symptoms occurred to go to the ER. In my case I was lucky and passed both stones.
I was an existing patient, and lead time for follow-up appointment was about 3 weeks, 2 more weeks for the cat scan, and then around 2 weeks for the follow up. I would also have a discussion with your current doctor as to what to do in case you start showing symptoms. |

I had a stone a couple of years ago and went to the ER at The Villages Hospital (whatever it's called now). They X-rayed me, saw the stone, gave me Flomax and sent me home. I took the drug, flowed to the max and passed the stone. I never bothered with a urologist.

just for info.. Ive had several instances with stones over the past `15 yrs.. and had lithotropsy procedure 3 times to break them up so I could pass them easier .. about 3 yrs ago after an xray at Dr Dersch's office it was found that I had 8 NEW stones... I was telling a friend and he said he used to have problems also and started taking 99mg potassuim citrate capsules.. I did a little research and read that it might help for calcium stones.. the capsules are cheap OTC and I've been taking 4 every morning now for about 2 yrs ... I just recently had a xray done when seeing Dr Dersch and am stone free still

If it’s an option, use someone at your local area. You will wait months in TV before getting an appointment

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.

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

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

Kidney stones

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. |
Kidney Stone are painful!

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
