Pediatric urology is a medical specialty focused on the urinary system — including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra — as well as the male reproductive organs. The Pediatric Urology Clinic provides consultation and treatment for boys and girls with urinary system conditions. A full evaluation includes a consultation with the doctor, a physical examination, X-ray and ultrasound imaging, and functional testing of the urinary system. Based on the results, each patient receives the treatment best suited to their condition, whether edication or surgical intervention.
All testing, diagnosis, and counseling at the clinic are provided with the utmost sensitivity, to help minimize the discomfort that can naturally come with treatment in this field — especially for children and adolescents.
The conditions treated and procedures performed at the clinic include:
Congenital urinary system defects
Urinary tract infections
