Research the doctor's qualifications: Make sure you look at the doctor's qualifications. A doctor with the right qualifications will be knowledgeable and have a comprehensive understanding of all the conventional and non-conventional treatment options for kidney stones.

Information about the doctor's experience is easily accessible on their website or on the website of the hospitals/clinic they're associated with.
See what others have to say about the doctor: Make sure you go through patient reviews to check out the experience of other patients with the doctor. Patient reviews are easily available across different websites.
Find out where they practice: You must check out where the doctor practices. It will also help you determine how skilled and experienced the doctor is, and the kind of treatment you may receive. Researching the hospital or clinic where the doctor practices can also be helpful as you might receive your treatment in the same healthcare facility.
The quality of treatment you receive relies heavily upon your choice of doctor. A doctor with the right qualifications, skills, and experience ensures a seamless treatment experience for the patients. Therefore, the importance of putting extra thought into choosing the treatment doctor is constantly stressed. Here are some more ways in which choosing a good kidney stone doctor can benefit you:
Top-notch, advanced treatment: Highly skilled doctors ensure that you only receive the most advanced kidney stone treatment. They will always suggest the latest treatment options for you.
Reduced chances of complications: Good doctors with ample experience will ensure that you face minimal complications during your treatment journey.
Easy accessibility: Doctors who are responsible make sure that they are accessible to the patient to address their concerns.
Reduced apprehension about treatment: Doctors with good experience and knowledge address the questions of the patients to make them less apprehensive about treatment and feel comfortable.
Comprehensive care: A good doctor provides all-round care to the patient, starting from the initial consultation to the treatment and follow-up sessions. They won't leave you halfway.
It is normal for patients to have numerous questions about kidney stones and their treatment. Seeking answers to these questions can help them manage their anxiety about the disease and its treatment and remain calm and collected during the treatment process. During treatment, patients must ask the kidney stone doctor all the questions they may have. Some questions that you may ask the doctor include:
There are several different types of kidney stone treatment. The type of treatment you'll receive will be based on the type and number of stones you have and your overall health. The treatment options range from medicines to therapy and surgery, and the doctor will run a thorough diagnostic procedure before suggesting what would be the most suitable treatment for you. Described below are the various treatment options for kidney stone removal and how they work:
Medicines: The doctors generally begin kidney stone treatment with medication, especially if the stones are small or medium-sized and there are no other complications. Medication prescribed for kidney stone treatment generally consists of alpha-blockers or muscle relaxers and pain-relieving medicines.
Lifestyle Modifications: Making some lifestyle modifications, such as increasing fluid intake, and eating ample dietary calcium, can help get rid of kidney stones and even prevent them from forming.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): ESWL is a non-invasive procedure that is considered effective for kidney stone removal. In this procedure, shockwaves are used to break the stones into pieces, which further flush out of the system.
Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy (URSL): This surgery is generally recommended to extract stones that are small to medium in size. In this procedure, the stone is located with the help of a thin, long fiber-optic scope called a ureteroscope, which is inserted into the ureteral passage through the urethra. At the same time, the doctor uses an x-ray to determine the exact location of the stones. Once located, the stones are extracted and collected in a stone basket, which is then pulled out of the system. If the stones are too big to be extracted, the doctor may use a laser to break them into fragments.
PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy): If the kidney stones are too large or too dense, a PCNL procedure may be suggested. In this method, the doctor makes an incision in the lower back, also known as the ‘flank area', and inserts a nephroscope with x-ray guidance to locate the stone. After locating the stone and getting access, the doctor removes them using forceps. If the stones are too large, a laser may be used to break them into smaller pieces, which are then removed.
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery): RIRS is considered the most effective treatment if the doctor suspects complex kidney stones. It is a minimally-invasive method that involves using the urethra as the pathway to reach the kidneys and using an optic endoscope to locate the stones, and then using a laser to reduce the stones to dust. It is used in case of large kidney stones for both adults and kids.
It depends. Kidney stones generally flush out of the system on their own and do not require treatment. Therefore, treatment isn't always necessary. However, if the condition is complex or is causing complications, treatment may be necessary.
Yes. Treatment can help extract existing kidney stones and relieve their symptoms, but it may not be effective in preventing the condition from recurring. You can still get kidney stones in the future. However, the doctor may suggest some lifestyle modifications to reduce the chances of recurrence.
Most kidney stone treatments are quite effective in relieving the condition and reducing its symptoms. However, the efficacy of a procedure depends upon several factors, including how severe the condition is, underlying health conditions, post-treatment care, and so on.
