Urology care for Dahlonega and Lumpkin County
Patients who live in Dahlonega and the rest of Lumpkin County are seen at our Cumming Clinic. We take time on the first visit to understand your symptoms, complete the testing we can do in the office, and then talk about medicines or procedures. Operating-room cases are performed at the Johns Creek Clinic & Surgery Center.
Before the first visit from Lumpkin County
A little preparation makes the appointment more useful. Jot the date the symptom began, what eases or aggravates it, and every medicine or supplement you use, including over-the-counter pain relievers and testosterone products. Bring prior PSA results, urine tests, and any CT, ultrasound or MRI reports. If you were seen in an emergency department, bring the discharge papers. Call 678-344-8900 if you are not sure whether imaging needs to be repeated before you come.
The Cumming Clinic is at 4150 Deputy Bill Cantrell Memorial Road, Suite 180, Cumming, GA 30040. We do not publish walk-in hours on this site. An appointment keeps your records, your preferred urologist and any tests already ordered in one place. If something cannot wait, the emergency department is the right door, and we will take over the urologic follow-up afterward.
Men’s urology from this community
Lumpkin County men come to us with prostate symptoms, a flagged PSA, erectile dysfunction, a request for vasectomy, or a concern about testosterone. Each of those starts as a conversation and, when needed, a set of tests, not as a product to be sold in the first ten minutes. Prostate enlargement, PSA changes and biopsy decisions are covered on our prostate health and BPH pages. Vasectomy counseling is on our vasectomy page. We are careful to offer the treatments this practice actually provides.
Women’s bladder care from this community
Women from Dahlonega and Lumpkin County are seen at the same Cumming Clinic. The visits we book most often are for leakage, overactive bladder, blood in the urine, recurrent infections and kidney stones. Evaluation can include a urine test, a bladder diary, a look at leftover urine after a void, and, when it would change the plan, cystoscopy or urodynamic testing. Start with urology care for women and bladder leakage if you want to read before you come.
If we recommend a procedure
If the plan includes an operating room, we schedule you at Johns Creek, 10730 Medlock Bridge Road, and we review fasting, medicines and arrival time before the date. The urologist you already met in Cumming is the one who operates whenever that is how the case was arranged. Our surgery center page explains what the day looks like.
Who you may see
Cumming’s urologists are Dr. Neal Patel, Dr. Herman Bagga, FACS, Dr. Rut Patel and Kushan Radadia, MD, with physician assistants as part of the same team. Their profiles are on the care team page.
Is there an Advanced Urology office in Dahlonega?
The office we use for Dahlonega and Lumpkin County is the Cumming Clinic. It is a full clinic, and Johns Creek is the surgery center we use when a procedure is needed. We are glad to help you plan the visit when you call 678-344-8900.
Can men and women from Lumpkin County be seen in the same clinic?
Yes. The Cumming Clinic sees both. Men often come for prostate, PSA, vasectomy or erectile questions. Women often come for bladder symptoms, leakage, infections or stones.
What if I already had tests done in Lumpkin County?
Bring the reports and, when you have them, the images. We would rather read work that has already been done well than repeat it without a reason.
How do I get a procedure date after a Cumming visit?
If we recommend a procedure, we schedule it at Johns Creek before you leave or with a follow-up call, and we go over the arrival instructions so the day is not a surprise.
Whenever a visit would help, the Johns Creek and Cumming teams are a phone call or a booked appointment away.
