Pediatric urology

Our pediatric urologists successfully manage a range of kidney and bladder conditions, from the common to the complex. Their care includes help for children born with physical abnormalities affecting the structure of their genitals or their urinary tract function. 

Children require special evaluation and treatments. We develop a personalized approach for each child, sometimes diagnosing conditions before birth. Plans may include medication, behavior modification and, when needed, surgical correction.  

Why choose Geisinger for pediatric urologic care?

  • Specialized care: The urologic conditions children experience are unique and require additional training. Our pediatric urologists have an additional 7 to 9 years of training beyond medical school. They dedicate themselves to treating the special needs of children.
  • Precise surgery: Physical abnormalities, blockages and tumors may require surgery. Our pediatric urologists use the daVinci® robotic surgical system to perform complex and delicate surgeries through tiny incisions. The result is faster healing and shorter hospital stays. Learn about .
