Pediatric Kidney Stone Clinic
Our specialists in nephrology and urology have come together to offer the Pediatric Kidney Stone Clinic because of a growing incidence of kidney stones among children. Our clinic provides both medical and surgical services for children affected by kidney stones.
Patients referred to the clinic meet with our team for an evaluation and treatment of existing stones. Subsequent visits identify any predisposing causes so that medication and changes in diet can help prevent kidney stones.
