ESWL is Patients’ First Choice of Treatment

Multiple studies concur that ESWL is urologists’ first choice of treatment for upper urinary tract stones*, but ESWL has also emerged as a favorite among patients!

Having experienced the discomfort of stents, numerous #kidneystone patients in our community are requesting for ESWL where possible, as they are less likely to require stents. Patients also rave about the fast recovery time and minimal pain! #ProudtoESWL
