Kidney Stones
Comprehensive management of kidney stones ranging from non-surgical medical therapy to advanced laser procedures.
Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. They can be incredibly painful when they pass through the urinary tract.
While small stones can often be passed naturally with increased fluid intake, larger stones require medical intervention to prevent severe complications, blockages, or kidney damage.
Dr. D. K. Chugh specializes in a comprehensive suite of advanced, minimally invasive stone removal techniques that require no incisions, ensuring you return to your normal life as quickly as possible.
