Urology 

As part of the Department of Urology, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, the Institute for Pediatric Urology specializes in the structure, function, and development of the kidneys and urinary tracts of children. Our physicians and nurses are specially trained in pediatric urology and provide a comprehensive program for the management of genital and urinary problems that occur in children, from birth to 18 years of age.
