FAQ

How do I book an appointment?

You can book an appointment by calling our clinic or submitting an online booking request. Our team will confirm your schedule and provide any additional instructions needed before your visit. 

A referral is not always required. You may self-refer for a consultation, though some insurance providers may ask for a GP referral, so it’s best to check your coverage beforehand.

Frequency depends on your symptoms, age, and risk factors. Most people only need checks when issues arise, but those with ongoing concerns should follow their urologist’s recommended schedule.

Bring a valid ID, insurance details, current medications list, previous test results, and any relevant medical history. Preparing questions or concerns beforehand helps ensure a smooth and productive appointment.
