Contact the Clinic

No, you do not strictly need a referral to book a consultation. You can book an appointment directly. However, if you are being treated for an ongoing condition, a referral letter or medical summary from your general physician is highly recommended.

Please bring all previous medical records, recent blood tests, urine tests, ultrasound/CT scan reports, and a list of any medications you are currently taking. If you have radiological imaging on a CD or USB, please bring that as well.

Dr. Athar Hameed prioritises minimally invasive techniques (like laser surgery or endoscopy) whenever clinically appropriate, as they typically offer faster recovery and fewer complications. However, the best approach depends on your specific diagnosis, stone size, or prostate volume. A full assessment is required to determine the safest and most effective method for you.

Recovery depends entirely on the procedure. Non-invasive ESWL and endoscopic procedures (like URS or RIRS) often allow patients to go home the same day and resume normal activities within a few days. More complex procedures like PCNL usually require a 1 to 2-day hospital stay and a week of rest. Dr. Athar will provide specific recovery timelines during your consultation.

Dr. Athar Hameed’s primary private practice and surgical base is Farooq Hospital DHA Branch Lahore, which is fully equipped with state-of-the-art urological and laser technology.
