Are consultations and treatments with Dr. Kurgansky, a Urologist, covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

Medically necessary consultations with a licensed Urologist like Dr. Kurgansky, as well as most diagnostic tests (e.g., cystoscopy, urodynamics) and provincially insured surgical procedures, are generally covered by Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC when a referral from a family doctor or another specialist is in place. Some newer technologies, medications, or elective procedures (like cosmetic urology or certain non-insured infertility treatments) may not be covered or may require special authorization. It's always recommended to discuss coverage specifics with Dr. Kurgansky's office or Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ).

Do I need a referral to see Dr. Kurgansky, a Urologist?

Yes, for most urological consultations and treatments covered by provincial health plans in QC, a referral from your family physician or another specialist is typically required to see a Urologist like Dr. Kurgansky. This ensures your care is coordinated and appropriate. Some specific services, like vasectomy in certain private clinic settings, might occasionally be accessed directly, but for general urological assessment or provincially insured care, a referral is the standard pathway.

What are kidney stones and how does Dr. Kurgansky treat them?

Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. They can cause severe pain when they pass through your urinary tract. Treatment depends on the stone's size, type, and location. Small stones may pass on their own with increased fluid intake and pain medication. Larger stones or those causing significant symptoms might require procedures like Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) to break them up, ureteroscopy with laser to remove or break them, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for very large stones. Dr. Kurgansky will also work with you on strategies to prevent future stones.

What does a vasectomy involve if performed by Dr. Kurgansky?

A vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure for permanent male contraception. It involves cutting or blocking the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles. Dr. Kurgansky would perform this procedure, usually in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia. It's a highly effective form of birth control. It's important to discuss the procedure, potential risks, and the fact that it's considered permanent with Dr. Kurgansky beforehand.

What treatment options are available for erectile dysfunction (ED) with Dr. Kurgansky?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) has various treatment options available. After evaluating the potential causes, Dr. Kurgansky may discuss lifestyle modifications, oral medications (like PDE5 inhibitors), vacuum erection devices, injection therapy (intracavernosal injections), or in some cases, surgical options like penile implants. The best treatment depends on the underlying cause of ED and individual patient factors and preferences.
