Preparing for your appointment

If your child has had any prior imaging or tests such as blood tests, ultrasounds, urine tests, please let our office know ahead of time so that we can obtain the outside records and images before your visit. You may need a referral from your pediatrician’s office ahead of time as. We will do our best to accommodate you at a location that is most convenient to your home.

Specialized care

We are proud to offer some of the following specialized services to remain on the cutting edge of medical care.
Minimally invasive pediatric urology
  • Laparoscopic varicocelectomy (for dilated veins in the scrotum), orchiopexy (bringing the testicle to the scrotum from the abdomen), and hernia repairs.
  • Robotic assisted Laparoscopic procedures for simple or complex reconstructions of the urinary tract such as pyeloplasty, ureteroureterostomy and ureteral reimplantation, nephrectomy (removal of the kidney) or partial cystectomy (removing a portion of the bladder)
  • Endoscopic injection of DefluxTM for vesicoureteral reflux
Infant spinal anesthesia
We work together with our pediatric anesthesia colleagues to offer infant spinal anesthesia as an option for newborns and infants undergoing certain procedures of the lower body. This regional anesthesia technique is different from general anesthesia as the baby becomes numb and immobile from the waist down without losing consciousness. In many cases, the infants are able to take a nap naturally after the onset and are ready to be discharged faster from the recovery unit.
Non-radiation based imaging of the urinary tract
Many infants and children with congenital anomalies of their kidneys and urinary tract require diagnostic imaging with radiology. To reduce the exposure of small children to radiation, we have worked with our radiology colleagues to offer tests that do not use radiation to provide us with the information we need, such as contrast enhanced voiding ultrasonography and magnetic resonance urograms (MR Urograms). We utilize our excellent child life services to assist patients and families through these tests as well.
