The clinic streamlines the treatment process to provide coordinated care for patients in the Palm Beaches and on the Treasure Coast.
July 30, 2025 – Tampa General Hospital (TGH) has launched the Tampa General Hospital Kidney Stone Clinic, a first-ever comprehensive clinic in Palm Beach County that will provide coordinated care for patients afflicted with kidney stones. Designed with patients in mind, the new clinic simplifies the sometimes complicated process of kidney stone care, which involves navigating treatment through multiple specialists and medical systems.

By integrating three Tampa General practices in Palm Beach County, the TGH Kidney Stone Clinic streamlines the multidisciplinary approach required for kidney stone treatment. The clinic is a collaboration with TGH Advanced Kidney Care in Jupiter and West Palm Beach; TGH Urology Group of Florida in Palm Beach Gardens, Delray Beach, and Lake Worth; and TGH Advanced Urology Care in Jupiter. With experienced, board-certified urologists and nephrologists, each TGH practice has locations for patients living in the Palm Beaches and on the Treasure Coast.
When a patient is diagnosed with kidney stones, they are often seen by two different specialists, a nephrologist and a urologist. Nephrologists care for the kidneys’ overall function, identifying and correcting the underlying causes of stone formation, and implementing prevention strategies. They may also provide patients with access to other specialists like dietitians. Urologists specialize in diagnosing and treating stones, performing procedures to break them up or surgically remove them. The specialists will offer patients personalized plans based on their history, lab work, and risk factors.
Dr. David Amrose
“Working with multiple specialists from different medical institutions can be overwhelming for patients,” notes Dr. David Amrose, a nephrologist with TGH Advanced Kidney Care. “The TGH Kidney Stone Clinic will offer patients a coordinated approach to treatment by using Tampa General’s umbrella of world-class physicians for kidney stone relief.”
Dr. Murray Goldberg
“Nearly 50% of individuals who have had one kidney stone will develop another within five years,” said Dr. Murray Goldberg, a urologist with TGH Urology Group of Florida. “A simpler, streamlined process is the key to successful treatment.”
