Do I still need to see a Urologist if I have passed 3 kidney stones in a week?

Definitely. Not just to check if there are more left (There probably are more if you've already passed three) but also to check if the three you passed have caused any damage, such as tissue rupturing.

Can you get kidney stones two weeks after you just have had them?
Yes, it is possible to have kidney stones two weeks after just passing them. If you just passed kidney stones, it is possible that there are still remaining stones in your kidney that were not passed with the others.
How do ultrasound waves break up kidney stones?
A machine called a lithotripter is used to crush the kidney stone. The procedure is performed by a urologist on an outpatient basis and anesthesia is used. In shock wave lithotripsy, the person lies on a table or, less commonly, in a tub of water above the lithotripter. The lithotripter generates shock waves that pass through the person’s body to break the kidney stone into smaller pieces to pass more readily through the urinary tract.

What are the symptoms of kidney stones?
Kidney stones are the name given to the hard particles that build up in the kidney and must pass through the urinary tract. Kidney stones sitting in the kidney do not generally cause a person any pain or discomfort. It is the movement of the stone through the urinary tract that causes symptoms to appear. The stones are actually relatively tiny and resemble grains of sand. The most common symptom of kidney stones is excruciating pain in the lower back and sides. The pain is generally sharp and just below the rib cage. Pain may radiate to the front of the lower stomach and down into the groin area. A person coping with kidney stones may be extremely uncomfortable. Lying down is usually the only way to find comfort, but even then, the pain may still exist. Sitting, standing, or walking may be nearly impossible as the kidney stone travels through the urinary tract. Nausea and vomiting are also common symptoms of kidney stones. A person may feel flu-like symptoms if an infection is present. Fever and chills may be experienced as well. The urge to urinate frequently could also indicate a kidney stone. Urine may be tinged pink or brown with blood. Urination may be painful before, during and after the stone has finally passed. The pain associated with the passing of a kidney stone is often described as the worst pain a person has ever felt. It is always a good idea to seek medical attention when such pain is felt. Doctors will advise a patient what to do until the stone passes. In many cases, medicine may be used to break up the stone and make passing easier and quicker. It can take up to a month for a stone to pass. However, the pain is not constant during that period and will come and go. Most kidney stones are small enough to pass through the urinary tract without medical intervention. Larger stones can cause damage to the kidney if they become lodged in the urinary tract for more than a couple of weeks.
