A pediatric urologist is someone who specializes in the
treatment of children and young adults who have problems
involving the kidney, bladder, urethra, and reproductive
organs (ovaries, uterus, vagina, testicles and penis).
Pediatric urologists have undergone several years of
additional training following their general urology
training. The treatment given by a pediatric urologist may
require surgical correction, medication or even behavior
modification.
Patients range in age from premature infants through late
adolescence and, for some children with complicated
problems, into young adulthood. Operations are performed on
an outpatient basis whenever possible.
We recognize the special needs of young patients and
their families. In addition to offering a welcoming,
comfortable environment for youngsters and parents, we
provide special expertise in areas treating disorders of the
kidneys, ureters, bladder, and male and female reproductive
systems.
