Children can experience a variety of urology issues, from difficulties with urination to abnormalities in the structure and function of the urinary and reproductive systems.
Wolfson Children's diagnoses and treats both congenital (from birth) and acquired pediatric urological conditions.
While conditions that impact the genitalia and reproductive system can be difficult to talk about, we're able to explain these complicated matters in ways kids understand. We diagnose, treat, and manage urological conditions in children while addressing the emotional and psychological needs of our young patients and their families.
The urology team works closely with other medical professionals, including pediatricians, radiologists, rehabilitation therapists and behavioral health specialists to provide comprehensive care for patients. Pediatric urologists and pediatric nephrologists work collaboratively to provide comprehensive care for children with urological and kidney-related conditions. They combine their expertise to develop individualized treatment plans that address the child's unique needs.
Wolfson Children’s Hospital provides pediatric urology and nephrology services in collaboration with Nemours Children’s Health, Jacksonville and the University of Florida College of Medicine – Jacksonville.
