About
The pediatric urologists care for common problems such as urinary tract infections, wetting, undescended testis, hernias, hydronephrosis, hypospadias, hydroceles and urinary reflux. The urologists perform reconstructive surgery and management of complex genito-urinary congenital anomalies and chronic renal failure.
Our urologists also care for children with neuropathic bladder dysfunction, both congential and acquired. Most of these patients are cared for in the multi-disciplinary spinal cord clinic.
We do not accept consultations for non-medical circumcisions. Newborn circumsicions are not done by the Urology service.
If you need to cancel your appointment, please contact us as soon as possible (at least 48 hrs ahead of time, if possible) so that your appoinment time can be used by another patient.
