Pediatric Urology

Care You Can Trust

Your child's care may begin in the womb, at a certain stage of development or it may last through childhood and beyond. Whether it's a single procedure for a common condition, a lifetime of healthcare strategies for a rare urologic or genital condition or help with the transition from pediatric to adult care, our goal is the same: to give every child their best opportunity for optimal health.

As a parent, you may wish your child could receive healthcare from someone with the technical skills of a micro-surgeon and the compassion of a parent or family member. As the only pediatric urology program in Indiana, Riley at IU Health has a team of pediatric urologists who fit that description.

Our medical and surgical experts specialize in treating conditions of the urinary tract (kidneys, ureter, bladder) and genitalia, which can come in many forms—from common pediatric and adolescent urologic problems to the most complex genital abnormalities.

Some of these conditions have serious implications for your child’s health and emotional well-being as they mature. Many children come to us with multiple health problems that need to be managed in the context of a larger picture. Your child’s total health will always have top priority at Riley at IU Health.

We work with you to develop a treatment plan that addresses every aspect of your child’s health, personal development and quality of life, supported by experts from other medical disciplines who are part of our team. Because we specialize in working with children, our child life professionals are ready to help children understand and cope with difficult procedures or simply calm them during routine tests they may find frightening.
