Families seeking the highest quality pediatric urologic care for their child come to Shriners Children’s.
Children are not just small adults. They have special types of medical conditions that need to be treated by someone with the expertise who is specially trained to manage them. Given the unique needs of children, pediatric urologists know how to examine and treat each child in a way that makes them relaxed and cooperative.
Our team of board-certified pediatric urologists diagnose and treat conditions of the bladder, urinary tract, kidney and genitalia for boys and girls from birth to early adulthood. Our specialists evaluate and manage a wide variety of conditions from simple to complex, and provide both surgical and non-surgical services to meet the needs of each individual patient.
You and your child are important members of our care team! Because we treat only children, it is important to get them engaged in their course of treatment to build a sense of trust with their provider. A pediatric urologist will first look to the child to get an understanding of what they believe their appointment is about, what is bothering them, what makes them nervous and what will put them at ease. Due to the sensitivity of your child's condition, our inpatient and outpatient services are designed for the comfort, privacy and convenience of families to make you feel right at home.
Because Shriners Children’s provides all care and services regardless of a family’s ability to pay or insurance status, physicians and families are able to consider every appropriate treatment option available.

Pediatric Rehabilitation
After sustaining a life-changing injury, being in the hospital can be very traumatic for a patient and also for the family learning to take care of the child's new needs. Our rehabilitation team works hard to ensure that patients and caretakers feel comfortable enough to transition back to living at home.
Shriners Children's world-renowned pediatric surgery program gives us the ability to help children who have a variety of conditions, including those they were born with, as well as those that develop over time or are the result of an injury.
Our team provides individualized diets, laxatives and psychosocial therapy to provide relief for children with constipation.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy at Shriners Children's helps children build confidence and strength, focusing on what is important to them and what they love to do in their daily lives.
Shriners Children's radiology and imaging services are a noninvasive way for physicians to see what's going on inside a child's body. Our radiology and imaging professionals work to do this in the safest way possible.
