Diagnosis and treatment of kidney, ureteral and bladder stones is one of Dr. Imani's core areas of practice.

Treatment approach

Depending on the size, location and type of stone and on the patient's condition, management may range from observation and medical therapy to lithotripsy, endoscopic techniques or surgery.
