Welcome to the Oakland Lithotripsy Department!

The lithotripsy unit at the Oakland Medical Center is set up with a dedicated, highly skilled team and state-of-the-art technology to treat your kidney stone. Our lithotripsy team is experienced and knowledgeable about kidney stone treatment. We have been in the shock wave lithotripsy business for 20 years.

Our team of nurses, technicians, clerical staff and urologists strive to deliver the best care available anywhere. Taking care of you and your kidney stone is our specialty.

If your urologist has referred you to lithotripsy to have your kidney or ureteral stone treated, please go to our Department Links to get more information about the procedure and what to do before your appointment. We suggest starting with the presentation entitled Preparing for Your Lithotripsy.

You can also find information about nutrition and dietary treatment to prevent stones and about kidney stones in general.

If you have concerns or questions about your appointment, please call us at (510) 752-7001.
