When your child is referred to pediatric urology, it’s often because you want to better understand how their urinary or reproductive system is developing. These concerns may be identified before birth, during infancy or later as your child grows.
At WMCHealth, our pediatric urologists care for infants, children, and adolescents with a wide range of conditions. These conditions can be common concerns or complex abnormalities. We work closely with your child’s pediatrician and with you to guide care decisions over time.
