Your primary care physician can handle routine urinary tract infections and basic screenings, but recurring symptoms, blood in the urine, difficulty urinating, or kidney stones typically warrant a urology referral. Dr. Lipshitz can provide a specialist-level evaluation and discuss treatment options that go beyond what primary care can offer.
