Frequently Asked Questions
What urological conditions does Dr. Louis James treat?
Dr. James treats a broad range of urological conditions including kidney stones, benign prostatic hyperplasia, urinary tract infections, bladder disorders, and urinary incontinence. Patients experiencing symptoms such as pain with urination, blood in the urine, or difficulty urinating are encouraged to schedule a consultation.
Does Dr. James see patients from outside Ironwood, MI?

A primary care physician can manage many urinary concerns, but a urologist like Dr. James is appropriate when symptoms are recurring, severe, or require procedures such as cystoscopy or stone removal. Blood in the urine, recurrent kidney stones, and prostate issues are common reasons for a urology referral.
What should I bring to my first appointment with Dr. James?
Patients should bring a photo ID, insurance information, a list of current medications, and any prior imaging or lab results related to their urological concern. Arriving a few minutes early to complete intake paperwork helps ensure the appointment runs smoothly.
Does Dr. James offer treatment for kidney stones?
Yes, kidney stone evaluation and treatment are a core part of urological practice. Dr. James can assess stone size and location, recommend appropriate management ranging from medical therapy to procedural intervention, and discuss strategies to reduce the risk of recurrence.
