Many urologic disorders and illnesses are unique to children, and may have a serious impact on a child’s overall well-being. That’s why it is important to trust your child’s care to a dedicated team of specialized pediatric urologists. Our team has more than 100 years of combined experience diagnosing and treating disorders affecting reproductive and urinary organs in children. This expertise is one of the many reasons our Urology program is ranked in the top 20 in the country by U.S. News & World Report.
At PSV, we create a personalized treatment plan for every child tailored to specific diagnosis, age, and individual needs. We routinely review our complex cases on a weekly basis with all of the pediatric urologists in our practice. That means you get multiple experts weighing in on the best treatment course for your child. Our urologists also partner with experts from other specialties at PSV, ensuring that care is seamlessly coordinated.
Our Urology team is led by Medical Director Dr. Rachel Selekman, and includes other fellowship trained pediatric urologists and nurse practitioners.
When we recommend surgery as the best treatment option for your child, you can feel confident that their care will be in the hands of one of the most experienced, precise and innovative surgical teams in the country. Here, we regularly repair the most complex conditions, ones that other centers in the region might handle only once or twice a year. Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive surgery to accelerate recovery, reduce pain, and keep scarring to a minimum.
We have the ability to offer our patients unique surgical options such as pediatric robotic surgery, including use of the da Vinci® robotic surgical system, which allows our surgeons to perform precise movements for even the smallest patients. And our urologic surgeons aren’t just performing robotic surgery—we are active in the development of new assisted procedures that can improve outcomes and recovery.
Specialists in our dedicated clinics offer additional support and resources for you and your family through our parent organization, Children’s National Health System.
