Kidney stones and lithotripsy [View all]

Don't know what to expect, don't know anyone who has had it done, and that's the ERs recommendation for dealing with a 12mm stone in my left side and a 5 mm one in my right. I have to find a urologist. Any specific questions I should ask? Never had to shop for one of those either.
