As one of the largest groups of fellowship-trained and board-certified pediatric urologists in the United States, our physicians provide comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care to infants, children, adolescents, and young adults with congenital and acquired disorders of the genitourinary tract.
Our surgeons perform the largest number of pediatric urology cases in Southern California and the Southwestern U.S. - over 2,300 surgical cases per year. Our Division was recently named one of the top-ranked U.S. hospitals for Pediatric Urology by the U.S. News and World Report.
Our evaluation of the child with urinary tract infections and related abnormalities of the genitourinary tract is both comprehensive and modern.
We also specialize in the surgical treatment of impaired renal (kidney) function, and have one of the largest pediatric renal transplantation programs in the United States.
STATE-OF-THE-ART TREATMENT METHODS
We offer state-of-the-art treatment modalities for endoscopy, laparoscopic surgery, as well as Robotic Surgery as part of our Minimally Invasive Surgery program. Our Robotic Surgery program is the most active program in annual pediatric robotic surgery volume in Southern California nad the Southwestern United States, and one of the top three programs in pediatric robotic surgery volume in pediatric urology in the country. We also conduct an active research program in both clinical research as well as basic science research through The Saban Research Institute at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and through the University of Southern California.
