Causes include drinking late, an enlarged prostate, overactive bladder, sleep apnea, and fluid buildup in the legs.
When should I come in about this?
If “Why do I keep waking up to pee at night” is the reason you are looking us up, call 678-344-8900 or book online and we will see you at our Sandy Springs Clinic & Surgery Center at 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road, or at our Decatur Clinic at 2711 Irvin Way. Being unable to pass urine, heavy bleeding, or a high fever with urinary symptoms should go to an emergency department or 911, not wait for a routine slot. Waking often to pee can come from the bladder, the prostate, medicines, or fluid timing; we will sort that with a history, a urine test, and, when needed, a bladder scan, then discuss the treatments we already offer. Bring a medicine list (including blood pressure pills), a photo ID, and insurance information if you carry it.
We would like to see you in Sandy Springs
Our Sandy Springs Clinic & Surgery Center at 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road, which has its own surgery center, and our Decatur Clinic at 2711 Irvin Way are both ready to welcome you. One number books either office: 678-344-8900.

How our Sandy Springs urologists think through this question
When someone brings this exact question into our Sandy Springs Clinic & Surgery Center, 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road, it gets a full hearing. Our Sandy Springs urologists give that question the time it deserves. In Sandy Springs our urologists sit with the story you bring, the tests already in hand, and what would actually change the plan, and then we talk about a procedure if one belongs in the discussion. When treatment comes up in Sandy Springs, we stay with what Advanced Urology already offers: looking for a simple cause first, then the same range of bladder treatments we already offer for urgency and frequent urination. For tibial nerve stimulation at Sandy Springs, we offer Altaviva, an implanted tibial nerve stimulator, and we do not offer needle PTNS sessions. If a popular option is one we do not offer, we will tell you so at the Sandy Springs visit. These notes are here to get you ready; the Sandy Springs visit is where we fit the plan to you.
What a visit at Sandy Springs is usually like
The first appointment at our Sandy Springs Clinic & Surgery Center, 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road leaves room for you to tell the story in your own words. In that first conversation we ask how long the problem has lasted, what you have already tried, and which medicines you currently take. An exam is often part of that first Sandy Springs visit, and we walk through any urine study or scan before it happens. If a later procedure needs a surgery center, we will tell you whether it is scheduled here at 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road or at another Advanced Urology surgery center, and how to prepare. At the desk at our Sandy Springs Clinic & Surgery Center, 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road, please have a government-issued identification, insurance information if you carry it, and the names of the medicines you take; old records help, and we can see you even if the file is still coming together.
When to call our team at Sandy Springs about this
Call 678-344-8900 when the question you just read is the one on your mind, or when a test result named here has just arrived.

Heavy bleeding, clots that stop you from urinating, a fever with pain in the side or back, or being unable to pass urine at all should be handled in an emergency department or by calling 911, rather than waiting for a routine slot at our Sandy Springs Clinic & Surgery Center, 1450 S Johnson Ferry Road.
