Urology Outcomes
UROLOGY has a long-standing history of caring for children who need improvements in their bladder, kidney and urinary tract. Our program, started more than 40 years ago, has grown to include surgeons, advanced practice registered nurses, multiple specialty and clinic nurses. Whether pediatric patients need a complex birth defect repaired, assistance with prolonged bed-wetting or help to resolve kidney stones, children receive individualized treatment plans and care.
