Your Visit

Your treatment at Total Urology Care of NY will be comprehensive. It is also likely your appointment will take longer than you might anticipate, please allow for extra time. Typically 90 minutes from your appointment start.

Our office is fully equipped with a highly trained, compassionate support staff, sonogram machines in every exam room, cystoscope(s), urodynamics, two procedure rooms, and an on-site lab. Virtually every urological evaluation and procedure can be achieved on site at TUC. This saves you time, and typically allows us to give you immediate answers and treatments.

It’s important to understand that our practice is unique. We are a specialty practice, not a general medical office. All of our patients, unless they are here for a follow up visit, have complex urological issues. With our ability to do every urological evaluation and multiple procedures, many appointments at TUC can take longer than 15 minutes. Sometimes as long as two hours. We do all we can to respect your schedule, but we are in the ‘human’ business, and we can’t always predict how long some visits will be.

So we hope you will understand that your wait time, and your time with the doctor (and our staff) will be longer than a wellness visit with your general practitioner. It is because we are giving every patient the evaluation, treatment and conversation time they need to understand their condition and ongoing care.

Please plan for extra time when you come to see us, and please be understanding if you have to wait longer than you planned. We’re extremely confident that the wait is worth the level of care that is our promise to you.
