As one of the largest groups of fellowship-trained and board-certified pediatric urologists in the United States, the physicians at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles 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 achievements include:

• The surgeons in the CHLA Division of Pediatric Urology 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 hospitals for Pediatric Urology in the U.S. by the U.S. News and World Report.
• CHLA was named as one of the top 10 children's hospitals in the U.S., and the only top 10 children's hospital in Southern California and the Southwestern U.S.

Our pediatric urology practice provides the highest quality of specialized surgical services for all genitourinary conditions including circumcisions, hypospadias, hydroceles, hernias, undescended testicles (cryptorchidism), vesicoureteral reflux, genitourinary tumors (Wilms, Testis cancer), duplex kidneys, ureteropelvic junction obstruction and all causes of hydronephrosis. In addition we also provide care for more complex disorders requiring extensive surgical reconstruction including intersex, bladder exstrophy, and complete urinary tract reconstruction.

Our evaluation of the child with urinary tract infections and related abnormalities of the genitourinary tract is both comprehensive and modern. We have state of the art treatment modalities for endoscopy, laparoscopic surgery, as well as Robotic Surgery as part of our minimally invasive program. The CHLA Robotic Surgery program is the most active program in annual pediatric robotic surgery volume in Southern California and the Southwestern U.S., and one of the top 3 programs in annual pediatric robotic surgery volume in pediatric urology in the U.S.

We also conduct an active research program in both clinical research as well as basic science research through the Saban Research Institute at CHLA and through USC.

Our main offices are located at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. We also have satellite offices in several communities near you throughout Southern California.
