Q. What if I have a routine problem or question? Should I bother making a telemedicine appointment or just wait until the office opens again? 

A. We can address and treat many urological problems through telemedicine and give some advice to help improve your current situation. Please call your local Georgia Urology office and let us guide you to the appropriate care.
