-With our state-of-the-art medical equipment, we can make the process incision-free, safer, and more comfortable.
-Our research partnerships are driving innovations in laser technology and aspirational endoscopy.
-While we can’t prevent someone’s first stone, we can intervene and help them reduce the chance of forming a second stone.
-When you see ONE of us, you see ALL of us. And what we are learning today, we will be teaching to other urologists tomorrow.

Let’s clear up some myths about meat. There’s a lot of confusing (and sometimes misleading) data out there. So what’s the truth?

When you’re looking at something like processed ham, remember: processed usually means added nitrates, high sodium, and preservatives to keep it fresh-looking and long-lasting. That’s not exactly the highest quality option.

A good approach is to keep portions reasonable, watch your intake frequency, and invest in higher-quality cuts.

You can still enjoy animal protein. Just do it thoughtfully.

Is sodium secretly increasing your kidney stone risk?

One of the biggest myths about kidney stones is that the salt you sprinkle on your food is the main problem. But the truth is that most sodium in our diets is hidden in processed foods, canned items, and restaurant meals. That means that even if you don’t add salt to your food, you could still be consuming high amounts without realizing it.

Prevention is about understanding where sodium hides and keeping your intake balanced. Small changes can make a big difference in protecting your kidney health.
