First visit · Alpharetta / Roswell office
Your first visit at our Alpharetta / Roswell office.
Here is a short checklist, with answers to the questions we hear most before a first appointment at 11660 Alpharetta Hwy Ste 700, Roswell.
What should I bring to a first visit?
Please bring identification, your insurance card, medicines written down with doses, and any outside imaging, lab or pathology reports — the actual reports rather than a summary. For bladder concerns, a few days of bladder diary notes makes the first conversation more useful.
Do I need a referral?
No. Plenty of people are sent by their family doctor, and our urologists keep in touch with referring physicians nearby, but you are free to book yourself. Either way is fine.
How soon can I get in?
Openings vary with the clinician you need and why you are coming, and urgent urologic problems get moved up. Call 678-344-8900 and ask for the first available time at this office. You may also book online.
Coming for a second opinion?
That is welcome. Bring the images and reports themselves, and book the same way as any other appointment. Our clinicians will go through them with you and talk through the choices in plain language.
Is the surgery center in the same building?
Yes. This office holds both the clinic and an outpatient surgery center. When a procedure makes sense, we schedule it here with the physician who evaluated you, and the same team carries your plan forward. For certain urologic operations, a robotic approach is available, and Dr. Rut Patel, Advanced Urology’s Director of Robotic Surgery, holds clinic in this building.
What about insurance and payment?
We accept many insurance plans; benefits depend on your plan and the service, so check with your insurer ahead of time. If you have questions about coverage, call 678-344-8900 and someone on our team will talk through what to expect before you schedule. We do not list prices on this site. What to bring, and a word about insurance is a fuller checklist.
What happens during the visit?
You may fill out a short questionnaire about your symptoms. A clinician goes over your history and medicines, examines you, and usually asks for a urine sample, so come with a bladder that is not empty. If blood work or imaging would help, it can often be done in our building.
What happens after?
Your clinician explains what the results show and what the next step could be, whether that is a follow-up visit, more testing, a medicine or a procedure. You can call 678-344-8900 with questions afterward.
