Our services
Novant Health Urology – Kimel Park offers comprehensive urologic care to men, women and children of all ages. Your urinary system (renal system) includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. It is responsible for removing waste (urine) from the body, and also regulates blood volume and composition. The urinary system also plays a role in regulating the level of minerals in the body, and in reproductive function.
Our providers have devoted their careers to providing the most remarkable urologic care available. No matter your concern, our team will listen to you and use advanced diagnostic tools when necessary to investigate your problem and determine the best treatment or management plan for you.
