First in the nation certification
The Kidney Stone Institute is the first ever to be awarded disease-specific care certification by The Joint Commission for kidney stone disease.
This certification affirms that HealthEast's approach to patient care is consistently delivered across the most essential venues of care, from quality to patient experience.
To refer a patient or schedule a consultation, call the Kidney Stone Institute Hotline at 651-326-3830 or toll-free 1-888-326-3830.
We can provide you with information on scheduling an appointment with a kidney stone specialist.
For surgical candidates: If requested by the patient's primary physician, we can provide a thorough preoperative screening and assessment. We have a team of hospitalists to provide preoperative assessment. A preoperative assessment consult is especially essential for high-risk surgical candidates and out-of-state patients.
Postoperative care: At the request of the surgeon, our team of hospitalists can provide postoperative management of surgical patients.
Complete report: We will provide a complete report to the patient's primary physician to ensure ongoing care continuity.
Timeliness of service: Patients who are seen in HealthEast EDs are scheduled on the same day or next business day. Patients seen in the ED will receive a next-business-day ED phone call from the Kidney Stone Institute RN for follow-up care.
