About Us

Children's Surgical Services provides the highest quality care to infants, children, and adolescents who are born with, or who develop, abnormalities of the urinary or genital systems. Our goal is to provide quality therapy using the least invasive approach possible. These laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques have several advantages over traditional "open" operations: they can minimize your child's postoperative pain, shorten his/her hospital stay, and allow your child to return to school and to full activity much sooner. And the cosmetic and psychological benefits of this "minimally invasive surgery" are also very important.

Our multi-disciplinary team (including pediatricians, neonatologists, and pediatric surgeons, anesthesiologists, intensivists and nurses) is dedicated to the care and comfort of your child before, during, and after the operation.

We understand the importance of working closely with the referring physician at every step, from initial visit through long-term follow-up. We provide diagnosis and treatment for a broad spectrum of kidney, ureter, bladder and genital conditions.
