The Kidney Stone Center at UW Medical Center - Northwest was the first comprehensive center for the treatment and prevention of kidney stones in the Puget Sound region. Our multidisciplinary team of experts in urology, nephrology and nutrition cares for patients suffering from acute or recurrent kidney stones. By unifying services in a single location, we deliver better and more efficient care at every phase of treatment and prevention of this painful condition. We treat kidney stones using the latest minimally invasive surgical and nonsurgical procedures, and we use state-of-the-art tools such as holmium lasers and specialized ultrasonic and ultrasound equipment.
