As part of the Wellness in Windham Spring 2015 calendar, BMH urologist Craig Rinder, MD, will present a program on Monday, April 13 at 6:00 PM in the Brew Barry Conference Center. His topic of discussion will be kidney stones.
“Kidney stones are notorious for being painful. The feeling has been described as being worse than childbirth labor pains,” says Dr. Rinder. “More than a million kidney stones are diagnosed in the United States each year. About 1 in 10 Americans will suffer from a kidney stone at some point.”
At this free program Dr. Rinder will discuss how kidney stones form, the ways they are identified, methods of treatment, and what can be done to prevent them. This is a great opportunity for participants to learn more and have their questions answered. “Once a person has kidney stones, they are usually very motivated to make changes because they never want to experience that level of pain again” said Dr. Rinder.
Dr. Craig Rinder received his doctor of medicine from McGill University (Montreal), after which he served his internship at St. Francis Hospital & Medical Center (Hartford, CT) and completed his residency at the Medical University of South Carolina. He is board certified in urology and a fellow with the American College of Surgeons.
