What to expect at your first urologist visit in West Palm Beach, FL
A first visit includes a detailed medical and urologic history, a physical exam (which may include a prostate exam for men), and a urine sample.

They will explain findings and discuss treatment options ranging from lifestyle changes and medication to surgical procedures.
