At-Home Stent Pull
An "at-home stent pull" refers to the self-removal of a temporary, flexible tube (stent) that was placed by a doctor, often after a kidney stone procedure or other urinary tract surgery. This stent helps urine drain and allows the body to heal. You will receive specific instructions for this brief process, which may cause a moment of discomfort or a temporary urge to urinate. Always follow your doctor's guidance and contact them with any questions or concerns.

I believe that optimal healthcare outcomes rest on a foundation of shared decision making and mutual respect between the patient and their provider. It is my priority from the beginning of every interaction that you feel seen and heard, and it is of the utmost importance to me that you and I end every appointment with a complete understanding of where we are now and where we plan to be tomorrow.
