At Grosse Pointe Urology, we know that your child's visit to our office can be unsettling for both the patient and their care giver. Therefore, we make it our highest priority to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
If your child is being referred to Pediatric Urology, new patient appointments are made by calling (586) 773-6300 during normal business hours ( Monday – Friday, between 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM). To better assist in your child’s evaluation and treatment, please see that medical records, such as history and physical findings, laboratory results, previous treatments from your child’s regular doctor or hospital summaries or reports, if your child has been admitted to the hospital, be sent to our office by mail or fax before your child is seen in the office. If your child has had any x-rays, including ultrasounds, CT scans or nuclear scans, please bring the actual x-ray films or computer discs with you to the appointment. Records should be sent to Grosse Pointe Urology, PPC, 18325 Ten Mile Suite 200, Roseville, MI 48066 or sent by FAX to (586) 773-6266.
At the time of your child’s appointment, you will be requested to complete several office chart forms, including information about patient contact information, insurance information, consents for treatment as well as family history and patient background information. As it may take time to complete this paperwork and parking and traffic can be difficult, we recommend that you give yourself plenty of time to get to your child’s appointment. Generally, you should arrive for your child’s appointment about 20 minutes before the scheduled appointment time.
If your child’s problem involves the urinary system, particularly if the problem involves urine infections, pain or blood in urine or incontinence (wetting), he or she may be required to give a urine specimen for evaluation; make sure that your child has a full bladder so that he/she can give the specimen for evaluation at the time of the appointment.
If you are uncertain if x-ray, ultrasound or other imaging studies are needed prior to your child’s appointment, please ask our staff to check this for you. This way, if x-rays are needed, we can help schedule these studies prior to your child’s appointment.
