Meet the Urology Care Team

Our dedicated team includes urologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and nurses. We care for infants, children and teens needing surgical and non-surgical treatment. 

We take a team approach to your child’s care. We stay in close communication with you – and with one another – to determine the best treatment plan for your child. We work closely with other specialties to make sure you have access to the wide variety of services provided at Children’s.

The doctor explained to my child what was going on, why, and ways to cure the problem. The explanation was done with words and pictures and follow up questions that insured my child did know and understand the situation. Thank you!
