Most pediatric urology issues, such as bladder defects or undescended testes, are present at birth. These issues are often unexpected and may require prompt treatment.
Our team provides specialized care for children with complex issues affecting the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. We care for children of all ages, including babies soon after birth (or still in the womb).
Our fellowship-trained pediatric urologist – one of only 325 in the country – leads our expert team. We offer the highest quality of surgical expertise while supporting your family throughout the care process.

All pediatric surgeries happen in Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital or our outpatient J.B. and Kathleen Reilly Children’s Surgery Center. Our pediatric care teams, including a pediatric anesthesia and sedation team, are trained in the unique needs of babies and children.
Highly trained pediatric urologist
Our pediatric urologist offers you the most effective urologic treatments available today. We take the least invasive treatment approach so children experience exceptional results with less pain after surgery.
