FAQ

What should I expect during my first appointment, and what should I bring?

Your first appointment will include a full history evaluation. Imaging may be needed to support the diagnosis or determine next steps in your treatment plan. Depending on your needs, our nursing team may review presurgical recommendations or teach you how to care for post-surgical dressing.

Appointment times vary depending on your symptoms or condition. Most initial appointments take at least 30 minutes.

Bring any medical records from non-Mayo Clinic Health System facilities. Visit our Medical Record Forms page to grant permission for others to access your protected health information or request a change to your health record.

What are my payment options and do you offer financial assistance?

Visit the billing page of your preferred location for information on insurance, billing and payments.

We serve patients in difficult financial circumstances and offer financial assistance to those who have an established need to receive medically necessary services. Learn more about financial assistance options.

What is the process for getting a urology second opinion?

Do you provide pediatric urology care?

We closely collaborate with pediatric urology providers at Mayo Clinic to ensure our pediatric patients receive the highly specialized care they need. We treat pediatric urology emergencies, such as testicular torsion, which require immediate attention, and provide postsurgical care closer to home after a surgical procedure at Mayo Clinic in Rochester.

What follow-up care do you provide after treatment?

We partner with our expert colleagues in Physical Therapy to offer customized rehabilitation to match your needs. From bladder retraining to post-surgical rehabilitation, we'll work with you to help you understand your condition and provide you with the tools and resources to manage it.

Do you have an after-hours number in case of emergency?

Always call 911 in case of emergency. For additional after-hours help, visit our Nurse Line page, or find out where to seek care.
