Get Prompt Care for Kidney Stone Pain
Our Patients Deserve More Than a Quick Fix
For Dr Jonathan Teo, the stone itself is only part of the picture. His approach considers how the stone is affecting you now, while also looking at factors that may contribute to stones forming again. The aim is not simply to address the immediate problem, but to take a longer-term view of kidney stone care.
What Are Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones are hard deposits that form when certain minerals and salts in the urine become concentrated and crystallise. They can differ in size, composition and where they are located within the urinary tract, which can affect how they behave and whether treatment is needed.
Could It Be a Kidney Stone?
Kidney stones are relatively common, with more than 1 in 10 people in Singapore estimated to develop one during their lifetime. Symptoms can vary depending on where the stone is and whether it is moving through or blocking the urinary tract.
- Sudden, severe pain in the back or side
- Pain that moves towards the lower abdomen or groin
- Blood in the urine
- Pain or burning when urinating
- Nausea or vomiting
Getting the right care shouldn’t.
If you are experiencing symptoms or have been told you have a kidney stone, arrange an assessment with Dr Jonathan Teo.
Comprehensive Care, Tailored to You
Kidney stone care is not always about removing a stone. The first step is understanding what it is doing now, while also considering what may help reduce the likelihood of another one forming.

When Should You Seek Medical Attention?
Kidney stone symptoms can sometimes be managed while the stone passes naturally, but certain symptoms may indicate that the stone is causing a complication or that an infection is present.
Seek prompt medical attention if you experience:
- Severe or persistent pain that is difficult to manage
- Fever or chills, particularly alongside urinary symptoms
- Difficulty or inability to pass urine
- Persistent vomiting that makes it difficult to keep fluids down
A kidney stone accompanied by signs of infection or urinary obstruction may require more urgent treatment.
